D. Wade taking some 'heat' for taking shots pre-game during Canadian Anthem

Straight from the NBA rule book...
H. PLAYER/TEAM CONDUCT AND DRESS
(2) Players, coaches and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem.

The only Canadian national anthem in the NBA postseason is played for the Toronto Raptors before every game, whether they are home or away. That was the case Saturday ahead of Game 3 in Miami as well, and during the anthem, Heat star Dwyane Wade was seen taking warm up shots while both teams stood in line on their respective sides of the court.

he should honestly be banned for life and not allowed into the HOF

Yeah pretty disrespectful. I would be embarrassed. It will blow over though. D. Wade seems like a decent guy.

Can you imagine if someone did that during the Star Spangled Banner? Unacceptable.

Not the biggest deal ever, but damn, he shouldn't do that. Respect people, that's it.
Probably just gamesmanship doe

Are we sure it's actually playing then? Almost no one in that photo seems to be standing still for an anthem.

Chris Jackson got suspended and death threats for just sitting during it back in the 90's.

Yikes, never heard about that.

Good. He's American. Why should he show respect to an inferior country?

Not to mention openly cheating on his wife... lol
I mean i'm not throwing stones, but I think we get carried away with labeling these guys nice and such. See Tiger Woods.
All I know about D Wade is that he is a heck of a basketball player.

I wasn't around for that but I can imagine it didn't go over well.
To play devils advocate, after watching the video, it doesn't even look the raptors players are paying much attention to it. Doesn't excuse Wade for taking warm up shots but I can see how he might have not even noticed what was going on.

This applies to the Canadian anthem too? Doesn't look clearly defined.

That Canadian song isn't the national anthem in Miami.
I'll give wade a pass.

I mean for a sport trying to penetrate world wide, I'm not sure how wise it would be for the NBA to publicly clarify that they really only care about enforcing rules of respect for America, frick the rest of you guys!
PR wise it might not be the best move.
