[srekaL]

Don't like the Heat or Wade for that matter but these kind of things are always nice to see.

[LoneyROY7]

Faptastic.

[Kurosawa0]

Cool dude.

[chauzer]

awesome

[pegasus]

What a jerk! Did you guys see how he treated that salesperson who sold him the socks?

jk :-)

[lebeast666]

:oldlol:

Wade gets bumped and he yells for a foul like always

[alenleomessi]

2:42 :facepalm no wonder people say Lebron has a weak supporting cast

[ClutchOver9000]

:applause: :applause: :applause:

[DuMa]

can we replace joel anthony with that kid with the mad dribbles?

[MichaelCheazley]

Should the raptors be disrespected that wade is too "injured" to play against them yet does this?

[Alamo]

I hope he found the socks he wanted :applause:

[Meticode]

Props to Wade for doing that with the kids. LeBron would've posterized one of them probably. :oldlol:

[swi7ch]

Chick on the bench must be like "OMG, is that guy famous?"

[LamarOdom]

Whenever you see a guy with nice clothing style wearing red basketball shoes with a suit you know it's only PR & advertising.

But whatever nice of him to play with kids:bowdown:

No, that's just how Wade dresses. :oldlol: Plus he didn't have a suit on, just collar shirt.

[jdm_dc_fan]

Fake. Not even I buy my own socks. He has people for that. :roll:

so it was a PR stunt when one of the kids is wearing an ADIDAS shirt.? :facepalm

[Dwyane Rose]

Plus Wade has that one kinda weird-looking black friend that's always with him in this video. :oldlol:

[game3524]

Bobcats should sign that kid with the handles straight up.

[RazorBaLade]

is this these kids first time playing basketball?

god i hope i didnt play like this wehn i was 12 .. i proabbly did

[Rake2204]

I was very much expecting posts about how Dwyane proved once again he could finish in the clutch, despite playing uninspired ball for most of the contest.

I'm not a big Heat fan, as others have said, but I always think it's great when this type of thing happens. Clearly one can't expect stars to always do stuff like this but when they do, it's special. Very cool.

P.S. I'm also surprised no one made the claim this proves Wade plays in a weak era. I was expecting, "If he dominates the NBA, but struggles against this competition at the park, then what's that say about this era of NBA?"

[MichaelCheazley]

Fake. Not even I buy my own socks. He has people for that. :roll:
Well he does get barkleys socks. Get me dem socks!

[gilalizard]

Nice PR.

And you can always count on Fap to post it.

[plUto or bUst]

The only time this season he was the best player on the floor.

[It's A VC3!!!]

That must have been so uncomfortable. His dress shirt was tucked underneath his dress pants, wearing dress shoes. Atleast the kids weren't going all out trying to do crazy moves just to impress Wade.:lol

[InfiniteBaskets]

He had basketball shoes on, but still yeah the attire isn't comfy.

I'm surprised more people didn't start showing up out of nowhere to watch along the fences.

A while ago after work I was on my way to happy hour with a few coworkers and on west 4th st, around greenwich village area, Allen Houston was in some sort of commercial where he and some othe guy were playing 2 on 2 and the entire park was just packed people watching. No love in NYC for non-Knick players I guess.

[JellyBean]

That was pretty cool of Wade.

He wasn't in the cage which has a lot of traffic and people looking at the games. He was just at some random court, unnanounced. I'm sure a lot of people would have stopped by if they knew he was there.

And he didn't know he had a camera following him, and that the video would be on the internet the same day?

[pauk]

Haha, awesome... :applause:

[Pointguard]

I know Soho very well but I don't know where this is. It looks like night time is about to hit. A mob in NYC can spur up in a moments notice but this place is off the beaten path. I remember watching games in West 4th street park and Tmac and Webber just showed up and started playing. West 4th street is very high profile park. But then I looked around and saw cameras in the trees and guys on roof tops filming. I think it ended up on a Sprite commercial.

[Knoe Itawl]

What does that have to do with more people showing up to watch him play?

He wasn't playing 3 on 3 with 2 guys wearing the Australian women's basketball team uniform was he(Houston I mean)? Because it may have been for two Australian guys tv show.

It's on the corner of Thompson and Spring by Ben's pizza

I saw Amber Rose on the same block last year

[pegasus]

What does that have to do with more people showing up to watch him play?
Weren't you trying to prove that his intention was pure, that it wasn't a PR stunt? I'm not saying that it was, but saying that there weren't many people because it was unannounced doesn't mean that he didn't know the video would hit the internet. That's all I'm saying.

[get these NETS]

were the socks.................Fuschia?

[InfiniteBaskets]

Actually he was. I thought it was weird that the other guys were dressed in austrilian tights. This was like last fall, (American fall time).

Reminded me of this story (http://www.nba.com/nuggets/mullin_dalessandro_08_10_2011.html) that came out last year when Mullin went into the Hall of Fame

[QUOTE]Never was Mullin

[senelcoolidge]

I heard that this was staged. Not trying to bash Wade, but it was not real real. But if he plays with random kids on his free time when cameras are not around than that's awesome.

[heavensdevil]

Sick story.

[DuMa]

how can it be staged when his main sponsor is Jordan and one of the kids is clearly wearing an Adidas shirt?

[RoseCity07]

My favorite player:bowdown:

Great story. I always wondered if that feeling ever got old for NBA superstars (or NBA players, period); that feeling of walking into a place, not having people recognize you, only to reveal yourself as one of the greatest players in the world.

I was impressed that kids in Hong Kong in 2007 knew who he was.

I probably would have been too, had I not seen this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ER8PzfYQoKA

China knows their 90's NBA basketball.

1) awesome vid
2) that's bec. 90s NBA ball is the golden era of the nba. it's the era where the goat played and tons of other HoF players

My friends saw Wade at a mall here in Chicago. They went up to him and he was like cant anyone leave me the f@&$ alone. D wade you don't fool me you douchebag

Thanks, I was at Ben's pizza only last fall. The film made the park seem smaller and darker. That corner has a lot of activity/traffic. Doesn't that seem odd to you that people didn't build up at dusk - especially with the good weather we have been getting lately?

I saw Amber on 34th and 9th earlier this year. But Soho has a lot of celebrities passing thru.

[Rake2204]

My friends saw Wade at a mall here in Chicago. They went up to him and he was like cant anyone leave me the f@&$ alone.
Probably the absolute wrong response for a famous person in such a situation. However, despite whatever imperfections a celebrity may hold, I can always sympathize with their having to walk in public knowing an endless stream of random people are always going to want to walk up and meet you just to walk up and meet you. It sort of reminds me of that Thomas Elliot video posted a week ago (the guy who very easily convinced a mall of young women that he was a celebrity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Ko6Xfa84w). People will just flat out flock, and as cool as that'd be for a while, after 10 years, I'd understand if celebrities had off-days in terms of how they handled such a lack of privacy, even in public.

[TheNaturalWR]

Plus Wade has that one kinda weird-looking black friend that's always with him in this video. :oldlol:

Pretty damn sure that's his brother.

[bigt]

Actually he was. I thought it was weird that the other guys were dressed in austrilian tights. This was like last fall, (American fall time).

Yeah the two guys in the Aussie tights were a couple of comedians, they were filming a show called Hamish and Andy's Gap Year.

Yeah. Who wouldn't want a bunch of strangers approaching them at the mall?

[Magic bird]

Nba players are human too.

Relax scumbag, he is the only douche that would do that. The only scumbags that would do that are wade and lebron.

Nice.

What's funny is that when I was watching, I saw Houston missing tons of shots. You'd imagine he'd still have some of his jumper left, and be swishing everything. But he was honestly bricking like 4 or 5 in a row. I dunno, maybe they were just shooting the parts of the show where they were struggling? But yeah, it wasn't pretty when I was there, so I left :lol

I found it in some old ISH thread. Obviously you're not a very likeable poster here. Very useful picture I should add.. thanks to the guy who made it.
