Dwayne Wade is back, plus a couple of links

April 2nd, 2007 | Posted by PostmanE

Something has always sincerely bothered me about Dwayne Wade, and I think - thanks to this video from The Basketball Jones - that I’ve finally pinpointed exactly what that is. The whole, you know, faking thing.

Is that Naomi Watts from 21 Grams? I think it is.

In any case, D-Wade’s condition is looking up; he might be ready to play as early as April 11. So get excited: not only are the Heat, possibly the most boring team in the NBA, going to go deep in the playoffs again, but we get to watch Wade add the achy-shoulder-rotation move to his already potent arsenal of fake physical injuries.

Since we’re past that, this is as good a time as ever to throw a couple of links your way. The first is over at Rumors and Rants, who did asked a bunch of sports bloggers (including us) who their favorite baseball players were, and why. The collectivization of responses is a great way to start Opening Day.

Second, I highly recommend you check out Ballhype.com, a new edition to sports news aggregation with all sorts of interesting jump off points, ranking systems, etc. Rock it out.
