Wade came into the league with an arthritic left knee because of a bad surgical decision during his college days. Wade still dominated and we get dumb casual fans that think his knees went out because of his style of play. Dude dealt with left knee pain and never injured any of his knees during the nba just had to deal with that arthritic left knee that shortened his prime.
@@EZboyrocks Imagine if bron didn't swap teams to trade in his teammates every time he couldn't use them no more, wouldn't that have been a beautiful thing 😁
Gift and a curse for Heat fans, if it wasn't for that surgery, hey may not have came to the Heat after having to rehab a healed meniscus... But now we gotta remind everyone this man became on of the top 20 greatest players on one f'n leg. They couldn't imagine him with two.
Yeah, but imagine if hadn't missed approx 3 prime years and 2 to 3 better late years and definitely would've played 2 more at the end. So statically he lost a lot for his legacy. So when it comes to wade, you can't go by the numbers, can't compare him by numbers. Simply was a Hell of a player. One of the greatest.
From like 2006-2010 it really felt like a close three-man race between Wade Bron and Kobe on who was the best in the league. Its sad that the new generation doesn't realize that. They know he was great but they dont know that Wade was LITERALLY a peer and on the same level as the very best in his generation.
Besides all the accolades, think about the fact that Shaq, Bron and Bosh all joined Wade wanting to be with the winner. Top 15 player of all time. Respect.
they all joined eachother. other teams were on the table. Chicago & Miami was at the top they just didnt go to chicago bc of D Rose and everybody needing the ball
@@lamardogmatic3864 It all started because Bron wanted to join wade so he could learn how to be a winner, let's not leave out important details that are documented as facts. You do know why they had Chicago on the table right? Wades from Chicago, he put Chicago on the table along with Miami 😉
Listen.... Wade was to the heat wat Mike was to the bulls when he first got there...it was jus too much competition in the east teams had that extra guy when it came down to it...when he got shaq that was no doubt shaq giving everything he had left in the tank before he started going down hill...dwade and the heat went on a drought until they got LeBron and Bosh and them years is wat made that man a legend...sure LeBron did wat he did there...but to say Wade and go crazy those years you high af...like Mike said he should of been MVP a few times idgaf
I'm a Heat fan and if he hadn't slowed down in his 30s, at his peak he was as good or better than Kobe. He was more efficient and a better shot blocker, Kobe was just a monster. I loved watching them battle cuz it would be highlight reel play after highlight reel play.
@@bplayerr1 they were amazing to watch. They had that fire and did stuff that had your jaw on the floor. It sucks he couldn't maintain the numbers he put up in his prime.
My first ever basketball game I watched on tv was the ‘06 finals and ever since I’ve been a die hard heat and Dwyane fan. He just brought so much excitement to the game. And he made me love basketball. Nothing but Respect to my GOAT personally
I have the exact same story bro. Made me fall in love with the game of basketball. Turned me to a heatlifer. It’s crazy because I’m wearing the farewell tour hoodie right now
@@Mr.Memphis10 teammates mater when it comes to winning. If AI had Shaq they'd have gotten more than 1 ring. If AI had Bron and Bosh they would've have gotten more than 2 👍
Awesome! Many people have forgotten what a monster D-Wade was. He was explosive and could shoot! At his prime he was the closest thing to Michael Jordan.
Thank you for this video man. Dwade is my all time favorite player. I just remember way back on my grade school years when i watched d wade play i feel like I'm in the mood and motivated to do everything i do all day. I really miss watching him play man. Rooting for Zaire to continue his legacy. DWade my GOAT forever ⚡❤️
I feel you but he was too great for a measured number he had his greatness mj had his greatness and kobe had his greatness,but I just cant rank those two over wade,he could do everything with excellence and he never was any trouble in the league nor his teammates.Every team mate admired him.I can't say that for mj nor kobe.The media caught up to him kinda late he was lowkey
His dedication to the game he never ripped the fans off he gave it 100 100 percent of the time the 3rd best sg ever a 3 time champ top 20 25 player all time and the Miami heats greatest player mr wade thank you
DWade is one of those rare players that can dominate an NBA game and the best players in the world with sheer athletic ability. MJ, DRose, and Westbrook are some of the few players that are noticeably substantially faster, quicker to elevate, and can elevate higher than any defender.
Its crazy how with Wade you pretty much knew exactly what he was going to do, but you STILL couldn't stop him. He was either going to take it to the rim, or work the midrange/post. (Or dish it out to the open man) But it was still unstoppable. He was too damn fast and skilled. Then despite being slightly smaller than most Shooting Guards, he was so strong he'd just overpower them and abuse them in the post.
DWade is so underrated as great as he was. If he had the support his entire career like Kobe he would have been in the same conversation as one of the greatest. He had that bum knee from college he would have had more longevity and had more seasons & a couple seasons of 30 plus a game. 7 plus years over 25 ppg and ome season of 30 a game which I never realized
'16 LeBron finals and D Wade's first Chip were the 1a and 1b for the best performances I've ever witnessed. The only thing that kept him from being on par with MJ Bron Kobe and Iverson was injury he had the talent drive and mentality
MJ was once asked a hypothetical question as to which players he would like to go 1-on- in his prime and the GOAT mentioned prime Wade, prime Jerry West and prime Kobe among NBA greats and legends
When we drafted him I was jumping around the stock area at Publix. He's like a year older than me and I have loved his entire career. Just a class act, I won't argue Kobe being better but in my book he's the number two shooting guard after Jordan
Wade was that dude and brought South Beach their 1st Chip. I watched him at Marquette, but when I saw him cross up Baron Davis in the Playoffs. I knew he was gonna be special. Only top 5 pick that yr to win a Playoff series. Not Melo, not LBJ, not Bosh. Dwayne Wade!
This is an Amazing Series. Surely takes a lot of effort and hard work. Thanks Nick. I would like to request a story compilation for Chris Mullins - Olympic Medalist and Hall of Famer. (People please write in your comments or upvote mine if you think this is something you'd like to see to brought to YT)
On top of being one of the best to ever do it Dwayne seems like a fucking awesome guy off the court too. Seeing how supportive he’s been of his daughter has been awesome to see. I don’t think there are many NBA players who would be that outwardly supportive honestly. Just a really good dude all around
I love the series. I watch every episode. Hakeem please. From the stories I've heard I think in this era he would be even better than he was in his. I would love to see what you can find about what the players think and his stories in general.
One of his fave moves! Crossover the guard, spin off the big into a dunk on the baseline! He actually talked about once! He dunked on half the OKC team like that in the finals
Me too he's really class guy ..and the media tries to demonize him because of the gun incident. He made a mistake...anybody in the media never made a mistake ....please raise they're hands
This may be a controversial take, but if Wade never had his knee problems, I think he could have made a strong claim for second best shooting guard ever.
Great video a lot of TH-camr's should use your videos as motivational purposes, you got right to the point and let the video speak for itself without any interruptions. It made me feel like I was watching more of a docuseries, kind of like the Last Dance Chicago Bulls
@DWade: I Hated on you when you beat the Knicks and then you became legit one of the best ever. You got better every year. Great message to the world. Don't know if you meant it that way or not, but now I gotta give you the benefit of the doubt. Nice work man. BTW, if you are bored in retirement let me know, I have a very unique challenge for you...
As a heat fan it’s d Wade & flash injuries robbed us of flash but he still ended up being 3rd best SG of all time I remember watching him at Marquette man I hope Riley can get us one more like d Wade you had to watch him in person at a heat home game to understand Wade county I didn’t kno until I did
Imho at one time Dwayne Wade was the best player in the league. He was so dynamic and so dangerous on both sides of the ball. He did things with his body that shouldn’t be possible and his body did pay a price. He gave 100% all the time until his body gave out.
Watching Gilbert Arenas talk about Wade is how I would talk about him when he started busting out. Man is my size, 6 foot 4, but he was an unstoppable force.
Watching basketball for 30 years, and D.Wade's ascension in the 06 finals is still the most "in the zone" I've ever seen a player. Respecfully, Mike was always at that level, so it's not really in the zone. But I've never seen a player just decide he was going to become great in the moment like that.
Great video man! I love the ending you know what he's like college jersey retired NBA jersey retired I think I did all right man. Yes D-Waid comma you did all right brother
Excellent...I had to pause and watch this thru my vr!!! This is ESPN quality
Haha!! Thanks so much bro!

Dwade gave us 3 championships, the culture, brought us Shaq and Lebron, and secured our future on his way out with Jimmy Butler. What a fucking GOAT.
It’s about to secure us Dame next
Lmao @@brycejunco
D-Wade’s peak was so incredibly underrated. People forget for a couple years there was a debate about who was better between bron and wade.
From like 2006-2010 it really felt like a close three-man race between Wade Bron and Kobe on who was the best in the league. Its sad that the new generation doesn't realize that.

He is so humble and a hard worker. Him and Alonzo Mourning embody Heat culture
Ehh Top 25

Gilbert Arenas is too funny man, he might be as talented at storytelling as he was when he was ballin.
Shaq to wade "You the man"
Wade to LeBron "You the man"
The importance of a good mentor.
Both resulting in championships
Kobe to Shaq "I'm the man"
@@chiicincinnati8360 Kobe after Shaq " Trade me or get me Pau" 😂
Thank you for this video DWade is and will always be one of my favorite players and the reason I’m a heat fan for life
Appreciate that bro!
Better believe it
D. Wades definitely the third best Shooting guards of all time . This dude has one of the best legacies ever
I'm a Heat fan and if he hadn't slowed down in his 30s, at his peak he was as good or better than Kobe. He was more efficient and a better shot blocker, Kobe was just a monster. I loved watching them battle cuz it would be highlight reel play after highlight reel play.
So happy I have my idol’s autograph on both sides. I’ll never forget I cried so hard when he left.
@@tylerthomas9855 did you really cry? Because I really cried. Not when he retired but when the Heat didn’t re-sign him. I was hot!
@@clanwaddell5628as a Heat fan I remember keeping track of the Kobe-Wade battles. Wade usually won more often and had better stats.

Best player without a MVP no doubt about it
D.Wade is one of the most underrated and hype player in NBA history.
Magnificent work! Miami Heat organization needs to start building Wade Statue. Flash 3rd best SG all time!
Wow Great ideal his own statue in Florida for the heat.
4th best, AI is number 3
I'm a fan of AI but winning matters.
@@Mr.Memphis10 teammates mater when it comes to winning. If AI had Shaq they'd have gotten more than 1 ring. If AI had Bron and Bosh they would've have gotten more than 2 👍
Flash had Heat on his back before Shaq, LBJ, CB joined the team.
I loved Wade’s ability to cut teams up. He disrupted entire teams.
Awesome! Many people have forgotten what a monster D-Wade was. He was explosive and could shoot! At his prime he was the closest thing to Michael Jordan.
Him and Kobe …. wade was a beast …..

3rd Greatest shooting guard ever. He truly is one of the greats and in my eyes top 20
I feel you but he was too great for a measured number he had his greatness mj had his greatness and kobe had his greatness,but I just cant rank those two over wade,he could do everything with excellence and he never was any trouble in the league nor his teammates.Every team mate admired him.I can't say that for mj nor kobe.The media caught up to him kinda late he was lowkey
Facts
Wade is one of the greatest players of all time doesnt matter what position he played.
3rd best SG in the history of the NBA…Harden still has ways to go!
Harden not gonna surpass him 😂 he'd have to get passed AI and ray Allen
Facts
He’s 4….
I would say he is 3 lol
Harden won't pass Wade, not enough defense played
bringing back amazing memories man
Glad you enjoyed brother!
His dedication to the game he never ripped the fans off he gave it 100 100 percent of the time the 3rd best sg ever a 3 time champ top 20 25 player all time and the Miami heats greatest player mr wade thank you
I actually got emotional watching this. Ddwade will always be my favorite nba player. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🔥🔥🔥❤️
Factz man hate I can't see him play anymore
Please give us a dirk nowitzki vid!! Love this series bro!! Great stories!!
Prime Wade is so underrated by new gem Bball fans. It’s tragic, the dude was unstoppable.
One of my FAVORITE players ever to touch a basketball period 💯 FLASH ⚡️
My favorite player of all time 🔥🐐
My favorite player of all time Dwade 🔥🔥🔥
Wade was so underrated bro.
Definitely top three shooting guards 🐐😎
Good video
For sure!
I like to see Scotty Pippen videos.
Top 3 that’s a bold statement but he’s surely amazing
@@SwiftSloan he literally is the 3 best sg and had one of the best finals stretches of all time
Ronald Buford exactly and was a two way player imagine if his knees never gave out.....

Aye D wade really took off from anywhere. Off one, off 2, off the spin, half spin, baseline. Young d wade was a KILLER
One of his fave moves! Crossover the guard, spin off the big into a dunk on the baseline! He actually talked about once! He dunked on half the OKC team like that in the finals
Always loved Gil(Bert Arenas) and now I love him as a person.
Me too he's really class guy ..and the media tries to demonize him because of the gun incident. He made a mistake...anybody in the media never made a mistake ....please raise they're hands
DWade ⚡️, one of a HANDFUL of players w full highlight videos 🎦 of just:
- Crossovers
- Dunks
- Blocks
- Steals
- Two way game winners
You forgot he got whole highlights of shots making, post game and passing
This may be a controversial take, but if Wade never had his knee problems, I think he could have made a strong claim for second best shooting guard ever.
Definitely bro, that would’ve pushed his prime to probably 3-5 years longer 💪🏾
He definitely would’ve challenged for that spot
That is a hot take, but I have to agree on that.
You're not wrong, that's fa damn sure!
Facts
This was awesome dude. Great job. Growing up a heat fan this brought so many memories.
Thanks 🙏 glad you enjoyed!

This was EPIC, you really covered everything of my favorite NBA Ball Player
These should have way more views. These are fire!!!

Its crazy how we really do forget how scary D wade was😧
R.I.P Kobe
Life to short
Also awesome video let go Heat Nation.
Omg he’s back finally And we want ray allen next !!
Yes please ray allen! Criminally underrated. He was so much more than a shooter
Keep going man love your content
Wade and white chocolate in the backcourt is intimidating for anyone. Everyone forgot how incredible Wade was.
Great job well done Wade is a real classy gifted good man
been waiting for D Wades stories!!!!!!!!!!
As a heat fan it’s d Wade & flash injuries robbed us of flash but he still ended up being 3rd best SG of all time I remember watching him at Marquette man I hope Riley can get us one more like d Wade you had to watch him in person at a heat home game to understand Wade county I didn’t kno until I did
When he had retired a piece of basketball left my body to the point I haven’t played for 7-8months

Got chills watching after the first 2mins. Really miss Flash!!
Gonna have me late for work watching this😂 great video appreciate the hard work to put this together ❤
Top 5 most disrespected of the top 20 players of all time. There's a lot of nuance to this dude's game.
Fantastic video by the way.
Would love some Dirk stories in one of the next compilation videos
LMFAOOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I picked up… it was Gil”
“That’s right I did call”
Had me CRYING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome vid! pls do Chris Bosh or T-Mac next
amazing work nick!
Love all your stuff man! You gotta do jimmy butler 🙌
This video is Amazing!!!!
great collection of videos man, kudos
Great video man! I love the ending you know what he's like college jersey retired NBA jersey retired I think I did all right man. Yes D-Waid comma you did all right brother
one of the best to ever do it an his knees held him back the whole time!!
When D Wade would split the defense that was his best offensive move imo either that or the euro
He had so many its hard to pick one...the crossover, the pump fake step back, the spin and dunk
Like à hot Muthafuckin' Knife thru Buttah...😁
right hand push in the post
Back to that grind great upload as always
I would love to see a Shawn Kemp compilation
Kobe was an amazing person. RIP Mamba.
Love these videos bro 🔥💜
Thanks man!

Been waiting for this one
Truly love these videos. They're awesome dude. Maybe d rose next or cp3?
