Recently, Dwyane Wade talked about his meeting in 2010 with the Nets, who were currently in New Jersey. Don't ask me why Dwyane is the king of bringing up old topics that are irrelevant considering the big plan they had for the Miami Heat but Dwyane is someone who loves to hear himself talk. If you can't tell, I am sick of hearing Dwyane Wade bicker about something...

Shane Battier is known as one of the NBA’s deepest thinkers, which is why it was fun to watch him share the court with Ron Artest during their one season together in Houston. With Battier and Artest locking down opposing players on either wing, the Rockets had the NBA’s version of the angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.
Now a key member of the defending champion...
