Dwyane Wade is widely considered to be one of the greatest shooting guards in league history. As a 3x Champion, 13x All-Star, and 8x All-NBA player, he’s got a resume that can match up with the best.
In fact, according to one of Wade’s former teammates, his game shows flashes of Michael Jeffrey Jordan himself.
“I realized he had an attitude to win and conquer. Every time he got the ball, he went to the hole…”Brian Grant told Michael Scotto from HoopsyHype. “There were a couple of games where he had some crazy moves and took off, and I knew he could jump, but it was almost Jordan-esque the way he got up so quick and dunked it.”
Wade had an enormous passion for the game, which he displayed every time he stepped on the court. Between that relentless attitude and his high-flying playstyle, it’s easy to see some similarities between Wade and MJ.
They both wanted to punish their opponents, both played with limitless passion and ferocity, and both were willing to work harder than everyone else.
In the end, it is those attributes that likely led to Wade’s success and his reputation as one of the NBA’s All-Time best guards.
