Dwyane Wade has had one of the best careers out of the incredible talent that called the NBA their home in the 2000s.
The 3-time champion is expected to go into the Hall of Fame this year and was an assassin on the court. Gilbert Arenas narrated a story about how Wade made him regret talking smack about Wade’s shooting ability.
Gilbert Arenas: “They asked me a question, like how you going to stop the Heat. Ain’t no one worried about the Heat. They can’t shoot. We just gonna sit in a zone, pop, we good. Right?
Dwyane Wade: “So, I am hearing about what Gilbert is saying. I wasn’t reading the paper but someone tells me and I go like, ‘dang’… So I mark on the calendar, Washington Wizard, Game 4. I’m so ready for this game like I can’t sleep.
Gilbert Arenas: “We go out for the game. Larry Hughes goes out for 2 minutes, and he (Wade) scores 16 points on me. I go to the bench like, ‘Yeah, he read all that, bro.’ Do not put me on that man no more brother, I done learned my lesson.”
Wade didn’t have the silky jump shot that his idols like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant did, but he worked on his moves enough for them to be incredibly effective. His career often goes underappreciated due to his years as the second star behind LeBron James, but prime Dwyane Wade by himself was a beat many people forget about.
Dwyane Wade’s Incredible Stint In The NBA
Dwyane Wade was an NBA player from 2003 to 2019, achieving everything he set out to in his 16-year stint. He was a 3-time champion, a Finals MVP, and was named to multiple All-NBA teams and All-Star games during his career. He played for the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, and Cleveland Cavaliers, ultimately retiring with the Heat and establishing himself as a true Heat legend.
Wade’s career average is 22.0 points, 5.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds. It is skewed due to how injuries started to chip away at him in the middle of his prime. He regressed noticeably after winning the 2012 and 2013 NBA titles with Miami. He would never recapture the form that made him win a Finals MVP in 2006, but he got to end his career on his terms. He gets to sit in the Hall of Fame as an undisputed legend of the game.
