Dwyane Wade Agrees With Charles Barkley, Says He Shouldn’t Be An All-Star

Prior to the Miami Heat’s game in Cleveland last night, Dwyane Wade, for the first time in his career, agreed with a Charles Barkley statement.

On Thursday’s episode of NBA on TNT, Barkley said that he doesn’t believe Wade should make the All-Star Game this season. He went on to explain that the honor of being voted to the All-Star Game means more to younger players who may never make another one, than it does to Wade, a 12-time All-Star.

Wade seems to fully agree. Per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel:

“If I’m choosing an All-Star, I’m not picking me. It’s not an indictment on anything, but guys that deserve to be All-Stars will be All-Stars.”

“For the first time, I actually agree with Charles Barkley and what he said. It’s a lot of guys that get their first chance to be All-Stars, and if they deserve it, then they deserve it and they should have those spots. I appreciate the love from my fans to even vote me, to have as many votes as they did. But from an All-Star standpoint, there’s multiple guys that deserve to be in there and I hope they get their opportunity.”
