This is an interesting way to teach little children to pass the ball instead of hogging it during a game.
A blogger filmed 6′-4″ Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade aggressively blocking the shots of little NBA wannabes during a youth basketball clinic at the infamous Rucker Park on Friday.
After he blocks the shot, Wade and his BFF Chris Paul, of the New Orleans Hornets, then team up to taunt the shawties.
Blogger Gus Garcia-Roberts was not amused by the spectacle of two giants ganging up on youngsters:
DWade apparently likes a little negative reinforcement in his basketball instruction… because he had a little fun with these kids by viciously rejecting their shots… taunting them… and (sort of) dunking on them.

I’m not sure what Wade and Paul thought they were accomplishing. But publicly shaming and posterizing small children can’t be good for their pride or dignity. Watch the body language of the rejected kids as they crawl off the court after DWade plays big bully.
