06:21 PM ET 11.02 | Dwyane Wade is not happy that there will be a basketball game played in New York City on Friday night just days after Hurricane Sandy devastated the area. His Miami Heat are scheduled to play the New York Knicks, and while there's nothing Wade can do about the game happening, he has decided to make a difference to those who were and are still affected by the storm. Wade will donate his entire $210,000 single-game salary to charity, he told USA Today's Jeff Zillgitt. "The money I make tonight can be left for a good cause," he said. "I know a lot of people here. Knowing the things they have been through, it's just mind-boggling. Miami is a place that is affected by hurricanes all the time so I know how the community can be impacted by it. It's tough."

Wade didn't wanna play today, and it showed in the second half.
Nice gesture with the charity, but if he's gonna be this inconsistent through the season, LBJ has bigger burden.

I watched a few minutes. Melo actually looked like a man on a mission. But can it last all season?

Asides from all the negative I speak concerning Mr. Wade, today will be an exception. On behalf the people of our city.....thank you D. Wade sincerely.
On another note though, where is that loudmouth and always wrong "Lostwill". I guess you must be turning over in a nightmare seeing as though the Knicks won largely a blowout game in defeating the Heat. OBTW, the people you love to hate simply had great games, ah Melo & Felton. Felton wit the crossovers and no look passes, Melo with the deep threes and banging the boards, and don't forget J.R., another one you dispies, he had a very productive game. OBTW, wheres your buddy JGB another one who always deliver great suspicions and doubt concerning anything the Knicks may accomplish. I guess you two must really be losing sleep.
