let's start a thread about past players ...

Good game… Dean was on fire. How cool was that to have Travis and Jason Kelce there.

Watch this one!

Dean Wade had a dominating game against Boston.

I think 21 points in the fourth quarter and the winning dunk in a comeback Cleveland win against an excellent Celtics team.

He outscored the Celtics (who are 1st in NBA record wise) 20-17 in the fourth. By himself.

Dean scored 20 pts in the 4th quarter last night to rally Cavs past the C3ltics. I think the Cavs are glad they have stayed with Dean. It's nice to see him do well. He fits into the culture of Cleveland. He got some post game love from Kelce.

Can Dean keep getting better? Can he make the All-Star game at some point? I think that would be an amazing achievement for a son of St. John.

Not playing for JB Bickerstaff he won’t. NBA playing time is also based off of $$$ salary and draft status. It’s too embarrassing to let one of your average salaried players be a superstar. It’s a business.

Shooting and passing like that along with being one of the top defenders in the league should warrant some major $$$. Dean is the ultimate team guy but maybe it is time for him to get paid and become an everyday starter somewhere. Does the NBA have free agency?

Check it out. Go to the 5:30 mark of the video showing both Kelces. Also need to check out the post game show video where Dean is interviewed and Shaq gives him a nickname.

The Kelce video only shows 16 of Deans 4th quarter points. Must have been another 3 and a free throw or a couple of deuces.

Dean's nickname from Shaq is Venom.
I like it
When you get a NBA nickname you have arrived.
