Not even the presence of Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony could move the sides closer to an NBA labor agreement yesterday. And it may have moved them further apart in the cordiality department.
Wade shouted at commissioner David Stern during the lowlight of a tempestuous five-hour negotiation that nearly ended the proceedings prematurely. The talks produced no deal and could have created ill feelings stemming from the Wade incident. Stern holds grudges.
Players Association executive director Billy Hunter Jr. said he does not expect an agreement by this weekend.
A person debriefed on the meeting confirmed Wade got ticked off when Stern, during his spiel, started pointing his finger at Wade.
“Don’t point your finger at me,” the Heat superstar screamed at Stern. “I’m not a child.”
ESPN reported Wade, James and Anthony threatened to leave the talks early before Hunter talked them into staying another hour.
