Could you imagine a backcourt of Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose before his injuries when he was still in his prime? What if you then put Lebron James at the small forward spot. Would anyone have beaten them? We will never know but according to Wade, the Chicago Bulls were the preferred landing spot for himself and Lebron during the free agency summer of 2010. He claims they only wound up with the Heat when they showed last minute that Bosh could be added as well.
NBA: Draymond Green Rips Paul Pierce & Others For Criticizing Kevin Durant’s Decision
Draymond Green is tired of all the criticism Kevin Durant has received since becoming his teammate and fired back yesterday at those who have been talking too much. You already know how it goes. Everyone from sports media to barbershops to just your circle of friends has mentioned back in the day star players would never join forces like that, or people questioning KD’s competitive drive in general for joining a team that just beat him in the playoffs.

For reasons still unknown, arriving police officers decided to treat him like a suspect instead of someone needing assistance and when officer Betty Shelby thought he was reaching in his window for a weapon, she shot and killed him. She never bothered to use a taser and on top of that, video has proven that window she thought Crutcher was reaching into was actually closed.
