MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade insisted Sunday he meant no harm and blamed a time-clock management issue for shooting at the basket during the singing of the Canadian National Anthem before Miami's loss in Game 3 on Saturday against Toronto.
Wade received criticism on Canadian social media platforms from Raptors fans and some media members who questioned his decision to take shots as the anthem was played. Wade then stood in line alongside teammates when the American National Anthem was played before the Heat's 95-91 loss.
"I'm not a disrespectful person. So if anybody thinks I'm being disrespectful towards a country, then they have no idea of who Dwyane Wade is.
