I've already been reproached once (by my mom) for derisively referring to Dwyane Wade as "Wade the Christ" in my NBA Playoff preview post the other night. Well check out this lead from Bill Simmons's latest column:
Eric from Chicago: "Thought you might enjoy this piece on Dwyane Wade's $8.9 million pad. I went to Marquette while he was there and he was the most down-to-earth guy. If I didn't hear so many good stories about him, by looking at this link, I'd think Wade's ego is ginormous -- and maybe it is. But this link is enjoyable nonetheless."
Obviously he's not the only pro athlete with a ridiculously oversized mansion. At the same time, his exception only goes so far. Let's not canonize him just because he seems squeaky clean and went to Marquette(, mom).
(Hell, who'm I kidding? I'd get a Spiderman-themed bathroom too if I could afford it.)

With the pool shaped like Chevy's logo, you would think that was John Mellencamp's pad.
Wow, that's really, really tacky.
