This guy is the reason I began watching basketball and learned how to play it. D-Wade's an all-time great. Dude was a monster in his prime. He's easily the 3rd best shooting guard ever behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
Jordan Sharpe that was some bullshit, a prime D wade would school harden. Look at harden disappearing down the stretch of big playoffs games, D wade was big time and lived for those moments.
Wade's still always gonna be my #1 favourite, was pretty much the reason I continued to started to watch basketball after I saw him go huge against Kentucky when he was at Marquette. The dunk on Varejao is just absolute filth and that spin dunk against the Thunder as well as that dunk on McGee against the Wizards are all nuts!
dwade aka flash my favourite player. shame a lot of the highlights talk about wade's "lift" or bad knees. notice how most of these dunks are posters or contact dunks for a 6ft 4 SG? the dunk against cleaveland is just filthy. wade was a great player but would have won more chips if he wasn't so damn injury prone.
"Injury prone" ? he only had problems with his knees after 14 seasons+... The refs are the only reason why D. Wade wasn't higher vaulted in the league... The refs have no idea what constitutes a real foul... The call the game based on the leagues wishes -- IE: to be more fast paced / Less free throws to slow down the game / having star players NOT foul out / to determine at each and every play who the league deems made the crowd want to come back or not... This is the reason why when Michael Jordan was playing -- the two cities with the most money got the most calls for their teams -- IE: Chicago and Lakers... The league got $16 Billion for playing up M. Jordan during his time-- no other player during his time was anywhere near his skillset, so he got every call for him to not get injured (You blatantly heard the refs say that anyone that touched him was getting a foul called on them) D Wade -- In contrast -- grew up in a league where the refs were told to push the game towards less free throws / less emphasis on defensive plays / and more on scoring ... The two Eras are completely different-- but if you placed D Wade in Jordan's Era-- he would've done even more than Jordan-- because D Wade KNOWS how to land to protect himself after launch... He's also the best SG at blocks of the Centers of the league-- A testament to his WILL to win... RINGS BE DAMNED-- (Getting gifted rings in a time when the refs are on your side-- don't mean SQUAT to me...) Every single Center would LOVE to be on D Wade's team vs Jordan-- because D Wade wasn't selfish... He made the correct play almost all of the time... Even LeBron wanted to be on Wade's team... And even though LeBron is outright un-matchable in almost every category ever since the game has been going on-- LeBron had to LEARN how to be that game -finisher / Go-To guy... D Wade ironed that out in Marquette...
David H. some the realist shit I ever heard. I personally seen Wade master a lot of that shit back in the Richard days. he only got better at it #3 SG all time. #1 shot blocking SG hands down.
David H. you made some good points but wade was injury prone and not just after 14 seasons. he had meniscus surgery in 2002 and is on the record saying he regretted it because it meant knee issues including bone bruises, tendinitis, and knee soreness were very frequent. do you know in addition to the 2002 surgery, wade had further treatment on his knees in 2007, 2012 and 2013? this is a quote from wade on an ESPN article in 2013: "When Westbrook had his injury, they kind of saved his meniscus," Wade said. "Mine was taken out, and that opens you up to having certain knee injuries and problems, so that's what I've had to deal with." wade was great but can u imagine wade how good wade would have been if he stayed healthy all season, like the likes of lebron?. we'd definitely seen prime wade 08-09 alot more imho.
One of best players that's not afraid of contact when slamming the ball and a Great finisher. Thanx Wade for the memories. Awesome Hall of Fame career.
Never understood why Wade was so underrated. Media are always slurping on either Kobe or Lebron. Oh well, at least Wade played during the youtube era and these footages will never be forgotten. I predict posterity, who won't be influenced by the current generation of media, will have a much greater appreciation for Wade.
People say that Kobe is definitively better than Wade. Some even like to argue that Iverson was better. I think that you could have a good case for Wade being better than Kobe. But I still think he is #3
lonzo Ball but Wade was also a playmaker. He averaged 30 8 one season. Kobe is only better on 3pt shooting. Also Kobe had Like 35 4 with 3 turnovers . 4 assissts over 5 points every day my man.
Dwade is one of the smartest players to play and he wouldn’t put himself in a situation if he thinks it won’t go good for him so if you see him going for the dunk, just move
These are great dunks.., but you have missed out on so many of his dunks in his early years where he was just lethal and athletic.., great job anyways.., appreciate the upload., God bless
@0:44 the best part of this video Beasley's face Edit: the dunk on Portland.... very underrated dunk. I was at that game, and was sitting behind the basket so had a straight ahead view. He actually brought the ball back, and held on to it longer so that he could "glide" enough to catch the defense on the descent and avoid the block. It was unreal.
akeem Brown prime Wade was incredible dunker at 6 4. A lot of his highlights from 04 to 10 are not on UA-cam. But if people could see them in HD they'd be in awe
@@yushuahuesun9423 dunking is one thing bro, but can you send a 7 foot man flying to first row, like how he did to Varajeo. There have been high flying guards, steve francis, baron davis, ja morant, derek rose and etc. They all have flashy dunks but none of them could consistently physically abuse and destroy bigs in the paint like dwade with his upper body strength and reach. People don't understand the strength of d wade. some of the things he did, is just not natural. The only thing you can assume is he was on something, like most of the nba.
I think the dunk on Varejao is the most iconic Flash dunk ever but for me that dunk against OKC is his best. The spin move and then to be able to re-balance himself, extend his body and finish through contact over 2-3 guys is just ridiculous.
Wade always took such interesting paths to the basket...one footed take off always a half-beat earlier than a defender might expect. Monster finisher. Just as others have said, easily top 3 SG all-time.
Pedro Martinez wade was my favorite player untill rose had he short burt of greatness. but its not hating, its logic. can you justify paying wade 28 mil at this point in his career? no.
Hold up... when they showed the dunk on Miami, I was like I thought he already had one on Chicago. When I noticed that it was against Miami, I was like wtf. Lol
Fuck it , I'll say it. Greatest player I've seen since MJ. Injuries didn't allow him to have that prolonged greatness . But as far as greatness, who's matched him? Almost 40 a game in the four wins in the 2006 finals.
Westbrook. Wade was is easily the greater player but Russell is a freak athlete. I truly believe Westbrook would be either an all pro cornerback or Receiver in the NFL. Westbrook is clearly faster, quicker and stronger than Wade.
Wade was more control and got 100% of his athleticism and freakish wingspan. Westbrook is more explosive and jumps higher but has far less body control. Wade could slither around and within seconds have a mega explosive dunk. On the other hand Westbrook only knows go go go with force.
Never in my life could I ever tolerate any DWade disrespect, top 3 shooting guard of all time
ReezyBeBreezy truth
100%
A.I better but whatever 👀
Aaron Johnson AI is not better than DWade lmao
If he wasnt injured every few games he would be the no.2 without a doubt
This guy is the reason I began watching basketball and learned how to play it. D-Wade's an all-time great. Dude was a monster in his prime. He's easily the 3rd best shooting guard ever behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Behind Kobe? I disagree. #2 in my opinion.
@@UFOsAreRealArea51 I thought so to... but, wade had changed his game which I'm glad, Kobe lasted longer in his prime.
Same here. Dwade just took the cake for me I will be a heat fan until he retire.
@@JKALEDGENDZ Plus, Wade is 100 times a better defender than Harden.
Now that's how a 6'4 player with a 7 foot wing span, muscle head is supposed to play! D Wade is my favorite player of All Time!
Wade's still always gonna be my #1 favourite, was pretty much the reason I continued to started to watch basketball after I saw him go huge against Kentucky when he was at Marquette. The dunk on Varejao is just absolute filth and that spin dunk against the Thunder as well as that dunk on McGee against the Wizards are all nuts!
Matt Norris well, 10 months later and I’ve changed my mind since. He’s officially my favorite of all time!
the ONLY player in history to have 2000 plus pts 500 ast 100 plus steals 100 blocks "THE ONLY" big ups to D-wade
Dwyane Wade is the best player in Miami Heat history
Alonzo Mourning
Scott besednjak hell no wtf
Sexy Me Dang so we just gone forget how LeBron WON THEM A RING
Camren Williams so did wade... what’s your point?
LJ I thought you were on my side with this? Who else you gone say other than wade but the best player who came out the Heat #6 LeBron James?
08-09 Wade is arguably the best player in the decade.
Facts, he was ELECTRIC!
He had that jordan-esque vibe
LeBron James?
D-Wade my favorite player ever since I started watching the NBA

That dunk on Perkins was so nasty. To spin and just rise up like that is crazy. I’m still shook 💀
That 2008-09 season though was crazy he should've been MVP
The most underrated player I've ever seen.
3rd greatest SG of all time, all time leader in blocks for guards, greatest Heat of all time. Thank you for all the memories.
One of best players that's not afraid of contact when slamming the ball and a Great finisher. Thanx Wade for the memories. Awesome Hall of Fame career.
His windmill crossover dunks are addicting to watch.
3rd best shooting guard in the history of the NBA
prime wade is a top 5 player ever. he better then Kobe gtfo
2nd to me
he's not better than Kobe and he's not second all time it's Jordan.Kobe.Wade
Top4 is Mj>wade>ben mclemore>kobe
igot themagicinm3 wade aint fuckin better than kobe stop it
Dang he caught GArnett when he was on two different teams lol
I said the same thing lol. They should do a side by side poster of wade dunking on him
He caught Garnett a number of times
I dang he got him twice. Lol kg was a beast too
I said that too Dwyane Wade just got Boeing's like that
He always had time 4 KG
Please make a vid on Wade's best block on every team!!!
They should make a superhero basketball league for this guy. His in Top 10 players of all time. No doubt.
Will go down as one of the most underrated and over looked players to ever play the game. He’s on another level.
D WADE, The Best Miami Heat Player "EVER" hands down in the History of this franchise !!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@zpacify 05-08 Prime Kobe? Nope.
I think prime wade > prime kobe but careerwise kobe was better
He deserved to have everything he have he put in the work and he is A humble player and he can play
Dwade is the greatest NBA player of all time
Ferocity and Swag. They don’t make them like D Wade anymore.
One of my all time favorite !! If it wasn't for injuries we wouldn't be talking about LJ
those insane standing dunks...
His slashing is crazy
My favorite NBA player he makes the game so easy.
Damn he's dunk on his own team what a goat lol
Dwyane wade. A true legend
you deserve a lot more subscribers
Low key the best player to ever play the game.

D Wade played bigger than his size one of the best two guards ever
When he dunk on varejao was the best dunk wow!!! That man did a back flip in hit his head
These are great dunks.., but you have missed out on so many of his dunks in his early years where he was just lethal and athletic.., great job anyways.., appreciate the upload., God bless
The best SG of All time 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Every team in the NBA because he reluctantly left Miami
Oh yea... Go Heat!
Castle Noble Shut your butthurt ass up boy, baby ass crying cus he left Miami. Boy they disrespected him.

My best SG in NBA
It cause wade had to do it all but he still is a champion if he played with better players starting off he would have more chips
Woow congratulations

great video, question for yall who was a better dunker prime wade or prime westbrook?

Im a big fan of D.Wade!!
that Miami Heat was exciting wow
I love you wade...from.philippines🌷
The most underrated player of all time.
The crazy thing is that he still dunks like this
Even at only 6'4, he was never afraid to bang bodies and dunk on bigger players. His upper body is big and strong.

Great video man your underrated.
Everyone should watch this and really wonder how is it this man was never league Mvp.

If Dwyane Wade body had a held up he probably would have surpassed Kobe
They jacked the rim up here!
That facial on Varejao is the best
Great vid!

Who is more athletic prime Wade or current Westbrook ? I think prime Wade was
Mo 2k wade

Westbrook is more explosive but wade is so much stronger and the speed is hard to tell i honestly don't know
