I can get over the fact that he attended 76,000 high schools, and that as one of the most prized recruits in the nation, he chose to spend his one year of college at Kansas State University (best NBA product: Mitch Richmond?). I can get over the vague rumors and questions over his “maturity,” and that ugly hat they slapped on him. I can get over the diss to Shawn Marion, who already represents the Heat in terms of players with Matrix-themed nicknames. What I can’t get over, however, is that the savior of the franchise (R.I.P. left side of Dwyane Wade’s body) came within 354 days of being born in the ’90s. Is it possible for a man to lead a team to glory when, on the day he was forced to swim the great canal and enter into the light, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” was the #1 song in the country?
