but his character made him that six-tool guy

ARod isn’t an idiot. Rest assured, he is going to get every last centaur that the Yankees owe him.

Terrell Owens does.

Daresay those urchins learned a thing or two about fisticuffs!

I did notice throughout the 80s that his name never changed from Randy Ready to Randy Actually Playing Every Day.

Barry unfortunately you are missing a huge portion of this story ignoring the fact that Bosh, LeBron, and Wade all have the same agent. Thus, when Bosh essentially leveraged the Heat to pay him the max to keep him from going to Houston, the agent got his money at the expense of Wade getting his. When Wade opted out of…

“I will never forget the sixth game in Dallas in 2006.”

I can’t fathom this from any perspective. The Heat has to bury the “Heat lifer” stuff now. Wade deserved just a little bit more. His play isn’t going to be great over the next two years, but the credibility that brought with free agents was huge. Now it’s gone.

“Wade, the only connecting thread between the Heat’s three championships”

Wade didn’t commit any acts of “self-sacrificing loyalty.” He left money on the table in exchange for rings.

I believe this take to be at the optimal temperature for success.
