I can't argue the fact that Wade is the second best player in the NBA, but that doesn't make him a sportsman.



It seems like you have a pretty narrow definition of that word, dude.

sportsmanship
n : fairness in following the rules of the game



I relate being a sportsman to having sportsmanship. That's how I define it.

Ok, but you do realize you're comparing this to a sport that 90% of the fans watch primarily for the in-game brawls, right?



Do you have the stats to back that up? I happen to know you can't. Many fans in the past did watch just for the fighting, but fighting is almost non existant in today's NHL, so if they are watching, it's because they want to see the skilled players like Crosby, Sakic, Datsyuk, Brodeur, etc. do what they do on the ice.
