Dwyane Wade and his Miami Heat teammates had a hard time getting into Manhattan Thursday night and the team saw first-hand the residual effects of Hurricane Sandy's damage to the city and how the storm has basically crippled all modes of transportation.
The All-Star guard tweeted that he wasn't too happy about the team's lengthy commute into the city for Friday night's game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
"3 hour traffic just to get into the NY city ... C'mon Man..."
While the unexpected three-hour tour of the wounded city was an inconvenience, Wade later sounded like the thing that really peeves him is the fact that Friday night's game would still be played at all.
Wade tweeted that he loves playing in New York but his heart was with anyone coping with the mess Sandy left behind.
"I luv playing in the garden but cnt do nothing but think abt all the families that don't have power, food, water etc... ths is a tragic hit 4 ths gr8 city"
The Brooklyn Nets postponed Thursday's season-opening game against the Knicks at the Barclays Center because the storm knocked out most means of transportation.
The Garden might be all bright lights and beer on Friday night but, Wade might like to know that only four blocks away from the arena, tens of thousands are still without power and water — and that doesn't include the hundreds of thousands without homes in the tri-state area.
did you just literally take pictures of your computer? Why didn't you just embed the tweets?
ReplyDeleteLike usual, Dwayne Wade bitching and moaning. We're sorry Dwayne Wade that the east coast couldn't stop the hurricane for you and you had to deal with three hour traffic.
ReplyDeleteYeah sorry Dwayne. Let's have all the emergency workers move the debris and wreckage out of your way so that you can do more of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ2u9YZ4i10
DeleteTypical Wade -- you might want to consider the people who live in NY and NJ who are dealing with losing homes and other things. You make millions of dollars (not worth a penny of it). Instead of bit**n, why don't you try to give some happiness to these people whose lives have been thrown in array. LBJ I am sure is a lot more considerate of these people than you.
ReplyDeleteCan you people f'n read?? the man is saying that its a shame that they are goin to try and play the game with all thats goin on in NY, then you have the nerve to post anonymous. put your name on it COWARDS,
ReplyDeletePutting "Marcus" as nickname is as coward as "anonymous"... just to say
ReplyDeleteso why is this wades fault all he said was 3 hours to get into the city. Obviously the Knicks dont care they are still hosting the game. If your so worried about the clean up get off the computer and go help instead of trying to bash people about tweets.
ReplyDeleteThats what im talking about, finally someone who can interpret what they jus read.
DeleteWade knew he would be in trouble with that tweet, that's why he quickly tweeted the follow ups. cheap sports tickets He just wanted to cover his butt.
DeleteWade is donating his $210,000 game check to charity to aid in the clean up...hmmm, that's an expensive CYA. I'm thinking he was sincere. C'mon people we need to be better as a society about giving people the benefit of the doubt. More often than not we are a well intended people.
ReplyDeleteOverpaid????...but donating his slary for the nite to victims...smh!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan Wade be any more dislikable and self centered?
