07:53 AM ET 05.18 | It took all of a few seconds for Twitter to explode with some great lines after Taj Gibson's dunk-show. Gibson's dunk on Dwyane Wade and his blocked shot against LeBron James in Game 1 received major national airplay on the highlight shows. But fame hasn't changed him. Asked how many text messages and phone calls he received, he said, "Too many. I turned my phone off. I just wanted to move on. Because one thing about this league, when you're feeling good about yourself, you get knocked back on your heels. I just want to forget about it and get ready for the next game." ... Wade warned that the next time he tries to block a shot by Gibson, he's going to make Gibson pay for posterizing him. Gibson's response to that: "Good."

Wade warned that the next time he tries to block a shot by Gibson, he's going to make Gibson pay for posterizing him.

The refs won't call a foul on him, either.

It was a nasty play. Hey, even Mike got dunked on; take it at face value, and move on! I like Gibson's approach.

"Wade warned that the next time he tries to block a shot by Gibson, he's going to make Gibson pay for posterizing him."

Guess DWade is looking for a license fee or a cut of the pie next time Gibson chumps him.

LOL! Boy Oh Boy!!!!

Good luck and some effort never hurts. the allstar was aligned for some epic throwdown to take place.


I hope the Bulls take Wade's warning seriously though. I highly doubt that he and James would come out flat in game 2.

D Wade is probably the best shot blocker from the 2 guard position. Every shot blocker gets dunked on, it's part of the game. I'm pretty sure Dwight Howard really didn't expect CP3 to throw it down over him but like I said it's part of the game and it happens to nearly everyone.

It ought to be me instead of Taj Gibson when Wade tries to deliver on his promise. I'd escalate it right up to and including putting D Wade in the hospital. That little super lipped punk.

Maybe a throat punch?

Every one who plays defense gets dunked on at some point. It happened and it will happen again.

I can go with that. Wade thinks he's so tough, and maybe he is. But if it were me we'd damn sure find out.

LMAO!!! Man i think d wade wouldn't like those words....

What I love about DWade is he will step up to the challenge and try to block shots like that. So many others run out of the camera so they don't get on a poster.

zactly.....You don't see Melo or D. Rose standing under the rim ready to take on someone charging.

I like your style, Bro.
