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.

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.

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.

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

National Anthem.

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.

Is everyone ignoring that it looked like the Raptors were going the exact same thing?

Is Canada a real country though? I mean, let's be honest.

If America can't lead by example, why would other countries follow us?

Definitely a dick move but it could be worse. At least we didn't do this again...

I have long known he is a racist POS. This doesn't surprise me one bit.

I just don't see why you would do this. Deep down I don't personally care, but if everyone else is being respectful and standing why wouldn't he just wait a couple minutes.
