MIAMI, FL - MAY 7: Dwyane Wade #3 of the Miami Heat warms up before the game against the Toronto Raptors in Game Three of the Eastern Conference Semifinals during the 2016 NBA Playoffs on May 7, 2022 at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida.

The Toronto Raptors beat Miami on the road Saturday night to take a 2-1 series lead with a 95-91 win. Heat star Dwyane Wade dropped 38 on Toronto - but the three-time champion is under fire after cameras showed him taking a few extra shots while a singer was at midcourt performing the Canadian national anthem.
Not a fan of anthems before games but will say if a Canadian did what Wade did yesterday for the other anthem, there’d be huge outrage.

That was pretty disrespectful stuff from Dwayne Wade. Taking warm up shots during the Canadian Anthem? pic.twitter.com/EittokQ6F9

Dwayne Wade, a revered elder statesman in the NBA, can’t cool off for a minute and stand for the Canadian anthem? Bush league.

I have NO respect for anyone disrespecting the national anthem. I lost respect for Wade. Then again never had any for him.

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was famously suspended one game in 1996 for failing to “stand and line up in a dignified posture” during the national anthem
