It's been a rough year for Dwyane Wade. Between being injured, losing Shaq to the Suns, and playing on the worst team in the league, Wade's definitely seen brighter days. I know this, and yet I couldn't resist pointing out this fun fact from last night's Skills Competition: Wade somehow committed a turnover, which kept him from advancing past the first round.
I know it didn't look like much people, but that was ridiculous ... he turned the ball over against a statue! Wade knows how to play this game; he's won the thing the last two years. Plus, it's not like those little statues were moving, they're completely motionless ... as far as statues go. However, I fully expect Wade to reconcile with these inanimate objects at some point in the future. As Yi showed us recently, it's the right thing to do.
