Atlanta Hawks radio play by play man Steve Holman of 790 the Zone made some questionable comments about Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade in the Hawks game five victory over the Heat.
Holman goes onto a little rant on air where he talks about Dwayne Wade crying to officials, Miami Heat basketball has resorted to thuggery, and Dwayne Wade being Dwayne Wade.
To be honest, I was entertained by the rant but it just proves that "Homer announcers" will never die. Holman on some level did cross the line between being professional and being entertaining. I understand that Dwayne Wade can get preferential treatment from officials but that is common knowledge in the NBA that stars will always get the benefit of the doubt with certain calls. The rant just comes off as a bit ignorant and poorly-executed.
At this point, I think Steve should be worried about his job more than Dwayne Wade.
