That Michael Jordan quote is one of my favorites whenever I tell people that he said Wade should’ve been MVP and 09 over Kobe and LeBron they always call me a liar lol
Wade should've been more popular than he was. A flashy combo guard with a killer instinct and who can win. He was what other combo guards like AI, Baron Davis and Steve Francis dreamt of becoming, a winner. But he peaked too early and never sustain that greatness. I think 2006 was his peak when he was "the guy" leading his team to the championship. For the rest of his career he was just known as Lebron's sidekick.
AGREED.Teague saying Harden is better than Wade was insulting,Wade is much more polished and effective offensive play. A much better defensive player also and a more proven winner,3-CHIPS-says it all.
Been waiting for this video. Dwade getting the respect he deserve. People really don't know how good dwade was. So so underrated still. Best shot blocker at the guard position and the 3rd greatest SG ever. So good off ball and man just crazy at splitting screens.
People forget at the time, Wade basically had his career set when Lebron joined him. He already had his ring and was King of Miami. Bron was the "Chosen" one who's only trip to the Finals, he got swept. He needed rings, especially when the media kept predicting a Kobe vs James Finals. Then, Wade accepts a secondary role on his own franchise to make room for his friend to flourish. All Time Great
@@FillyouupSplashexactly lmao niggas always wanna point fingers at Bron when he averaged 30 sum & his next scorer averaged like 13 or sum . Dwade didn’t win again TIL bron came
They needed each other. 1 ring wasn’t the goal & the Big 3 in Boston was built to stop LeBron after that incredible CAVS run with another team that had no business being there when it came to a 7 game series.
I’d like to know who on the cavs ever came close to the shaq wade had? In 05 shaq was a top 3 in mvp voting. Beating your chest because you had a better team first with a second star is nothing to brag about.
Ai shot the ball 30 times in 2001 playoffs. The only guy on Earth to average 30 FFGA. Lol, Wade the guy who had the highest plus minus in a playoffs in those 2006 finals. Only guy on earth to say he carried Shaq AND LeBron in 2006 and 2011. He played very good in the following seasons but guy the last of knees was done with all those layups, dunks and blocks and transition defense miami was doing. He was guarding tough guys. Who was AI guarding? 😂@@johnclinton1885
@@johnclinton1885Allen never won rings though, Wade won one in his third year. Iverson could’ve been higher but he partied and was more relaxed about the game.
And they shouldn’t have because the way it is way better than LeBron. James always has been. The only thing that sucked is that he had those injuries, but the Way was the best out of his class and it showed because he won a championship before they all did.
@@anthonydexter3527So how do you explain LeBron averaging 17ppg a game in 2011. The truth is because being from Miami I saw every game. Wade had to limit his game to let LeBron grow. LeBron is one of the most selfish players I've ever seen in 35 years of watching this sport.
@@eugeniollamera771 actually LeBron is the most unselfish he a pass first sf but will still score and ball when need to. When he got to the Heats they both was trying to figure out who team it would be and Wade gave the team over to LeBron. And with his leadership led them to two chips
@@eugeniollamera771 2011 bron took a back seat to wade. If not explain lebron leading them to the chip the very next year. I could easily ask why did wade average 15 ppg in the 2014 finals.
I was 7/8 years old and never really watched sports until that point (or didn’t understand yet). The first game I can ever recollect was that game 3 finals in 2006. DWade has been my favorite athlete of all time since
D Wade is my second favorite player behind Michael Jordan. People forget that he went and got his first championship 6 or 7 years before LeBron even got his first one. How many all the haters to put some respect on my goats name.
Melo aint for the fluff he know exactly how good Wade was, I love his honesty. Wade was #2 for me, Kobe #3. Wade had a deeper bag to me than any other guard not name MJ. 💯 I rember him blocking Stoudemire gather the ball and shot it from damn near full court in one sequence..it was unreal.
I’m 29 and feel like I’m mad old for d wade being my favorite player ever in middle school arguing Kobe lakers fans & LeBron cavs that D Wade was the MVP 😂😂
Carmelo is right, that people tend to quickly forget how good Dwyane Wade was. He retired only five years ago. But people will hold onto Michael Jordan‘s spot as the greatest ever, and he retired 21 years ago. That doesn’t make sense.
Dwade's my favorite player behind Iverson. You can tell that he modeled his game after him and Jordan. Flash played with grit, passion, and intensity. He was that IT factor who would always impact winning with his clutch genes. He's not talked about enough 😢
Only reason wade was not higher on the goat argument is cus his career was ruined by injuries and I am a huge wade fan but if he never had all the knee and ankle issue if he would have been as healthy for as long as lebron I think wade have a huge argument for top spot
And what’s even crazier, Dwyane Wade never reached his peak remember injuries kept messing him up. I think he had them since college. Just imagine if he wasn’t injury prone but that’s even more impressive. I say wade is top 3 all time in guards and I have to say he’s arguably top 25 all time (arguably) Depends on how you look at it
When I tell you I'm all smiles watching this I am so glad to see this people giving him his respect cuz folks really don't My third favorite player of all time magic Shaq d Wade My guy right here
Wade was fast, smooch, relentless on defense, the greatest blocking guard at 6’4 and under. He was. Blocking prime Amare stoudamire and hitting half court shots off, dunking on 7 ft varajao
Wade was always better than Bron and melo to me since 2004. From a two way standpoint ( watch summer league 2003) . He ARGUABLY carried lebron on both ends during those heat years in the playoffs 2011-2013 and ESPECIALLY those pacer series.
Out of his draft class, D Wade was the best player that came out of there. He won a championship before his draft class, and it was because of him because he put that team on his back. If it wasn’t for his injuries, he would’ve been the goat of his era.
He was the best player on that redeem team that won gold as the 6th man he led them in ppg 20 while shooting 67% FG led them in steals and maybe blocks too. Without d wade they don’t win gold period and LBJ, Kobe, Melo and every other top player was on that team and D Wade stood out more than anyone else. I also put him 2 behind MJ if we are talking peak but when you consider longevity I can except Kobe ahead of him.
Dwade won the championship and the scoring title and did not get mvp, he also lead the league in many other stats. Thats what Jordan was talking about.
For those taking harden over dwade are just ignorant and dont even hoop. Prime Dwade lockin Prime harden up 1v1, and aint no way no defense harden stopping Dwade.
I really hate that Dwayne don’t get the respect and recognition he deserves!!! ALL TIME FAVORITE PLAYER EVER!! Dude was just different… check his playoff stats!!! Unbelievable
Yeah, it's crazy he had the meniscus removed from his left knee before the 2003 NBA draft. Imagine if he was healthy his whole career, he would probably take Kobe's spot as the second best SG ever.
I hate when people say "underrated". I see it everywhere online. Just loses meaning cause there are so many instances where if you know you know. DWade is right on the edge of that though. All the greats know he could be the best player on the floor any given night. Historically probably will lose shine as the years go. I still modeled my game after so much of what he did. I'm 6'1 and some change. I've heard Dwyane called 6'3" sometimes. Just about playing like the biggest guy out there.
MJ is my favorite 🏀 untill I fall in love in Dwade's game when he came to the NBA right the moment MJ hang his jersey so bulls#23 is my idol behind heat's#3 my generation🐐🐐
"you take him away from his team, I'm pretty sure they will not be as successful" Mike said it himself, it's like that does not go into consideration. idk why it became "best player on best team" when it's called the mVp award.
The only thing Wade cannot do on his prime was shoot 3's on a consistent efficiency, other than that there's nothing he can't do - and he only had 1 knee even before entering the NBA lol

i always argued and stood on that statement. No knee injuries and wade is up there and possibly greater than bron.
