OK, admittedly the question posed to Dwyane Wade about his attempt to render Rajon Rondo a one-armed PG wasn’t the most eloquent one heard in the history of the NBA Playoffs. But if the unidentified reporter was “retarded”, how would you describe one of the world’s most famous public figures being unable to comprehend how microphones work?
Shame on Wade for not acknowledging that it was a dirty play on his part. Maybe it happened in the heat of the moment. That’s understandable to some extent. He was clearly frustrated that Rondo beat him on his signature move. But how is a take down an acceptable basketball play? You made a dirty play, Wade. Everyone can see that. Don’t make the situation worse by defending it.
To be fair, LeBron did cover his mouth. I always thought that worked near recording devices. Or… sorry, I would’ve thought that, had I been an idiot.
