Dwyane Wade - Defensive Dynamo 15/16

- Dwyane Wade. 3x NBA champion. 2006 Finals MVP. 2x All-NBA First Team. 3x All-NBA Second Team. 3x All-NBA Third Team. 12x All-Star. 2010 All-Star Game MVP. 2009 scoring champion. 2008 Olympic Gold medalist. Miami Heat’s all-time leading scorer. 3x NBA All-Defensive Second Team. Dwyane Wade also stands at 6’4”, with 759 blocks for his career. The record for most career blocks by a player 6’4” or shorter was held by the late great Dennis Johnson, until Wade broke it with career block number 676. He is undoubtedly on of the greatest shot blocking guards the game has ever seen, his final year in Miami proving to be no exception. In the 2015-16 season, he registered the second most blocks for the Heat after Hassan Whiteside. Whether he’s Flash or Father Prime, Wade has always found a way to impress on the defensive end.
Wade’s placement among the best shooting guards of all-time has long been argued. Some say he’s the third best shooting guard all-time, easy. Some disagree. What cannot be questioned, however, is the elite nature of his shot blocking ability. For the regular season, Michael Jordan (6’6”) had 893 blocks. Kobe Bryant (6’6”) had 640 blocks. Clyde Drexler (6’7”) had 719 blocks. Again, Dwyane Wade (6’4”) has 759 blocks for his career so far. For reference, LeBron James (6’9”) has 773 blocks. These numbers get more interesting when the postseason rolls around. Dwyane Wade has more career playoff blocks (166) than Jordan (158), Kobe (144), and Drexler (108). Yes, defense isn’t all about blocked shots, or even measurable stats, but the fact that at his height, Wade was able to so heavily impact the game on that front must be worth praise.
I wanted to take a highlight some of Wade’s defensive abilities in his final year with Miami. I still cannot believe that the Heat organisation let him walk, but if there’s anywhere I wanted him to end up, well, let’s just say he’s somehow been one of the most beloved players in Chicago throughout his entire career despite eliminating the Bulls repeatedly in the playoffs. I love and have always loved Dwyane Wade’s game, so expect at least a few more videos on who I believe to be the third greatest shooting guard of all-time. - กีฬา
He's the most poised/relaxed player in nba history. Never plays outta his pace.
Guards don't even play basketball like this anymore . No more poise on both sides of the ball anymore at all.

Have you not watched Jimmy Butler (SG/SF)? Kawhi isn't a guard, but he is a perimeter player that plays great on both sides of the ball with poise. Same with LeBron. Same with Paul George. Chris Paul is in the league and still balling tf out playing both sides of the ball with great poise as a guard. And if you extend it out to big men, there are more that play great on both sides of the ball with great poise such as AD and Embiid. Eventhough Giannis has undeservingly been catching a lot of flak after the last 2 postseasons, he plays amazing on both sides of the ball and I think with great poise as well. Then there are several other players that play great on 1 side of the ball whether it's offense or defense and with poise (e.g. KD, Luka, Jokic, Curry, Kyrie, Spida Mitchell, Booker, Jamal Murray, etc. on offense and Draymond, Smart, Thybulle, Gobert, Myles Turner, etc. on defense). Some of those players that I just named were also good on the other side of the ball, just not great. I don't understand why some people try to rag on the new school.
special
Best blocking guard of all time! No question!
Its not even a debate
LegendaryMH ever heard of Michael Jordan the GOAT? I agree that Wade is the best defensive SG in this generation.
jeremyunderground41 Did Jordan block a 7 footer face to face? I rest my case.
John Jones yes he did! He blocked Patrick Ewing the 7 footer center of New York Knicks back in the 90s. There is a video here in youtube. Go search it. Plus players back then were harder to block. Also search Jordan's block highlights.
John Jones Also Jordan is Wade's childhood idol. There are similarities in moves of both players.
Wade is great at everything when he really wants it
Thanks to his incredible wingspan super strong upper body among guards and great experience in defense, even wade is now 34 years old and short for the SG position, he can still block shoots and force steals. A great player, HOF, always the hero in my heart. Love u WADE!
Him being 6'4 actually gives him an advantage because of his lower center of gravity than a 6'6-6'8 wing player, plus the additional lateral quickness that mostly point-guards possess. Having a 6'10 wingspan is also massive, like you stated. Good strength, wing-span, high motor, great anticipation and great lateral quickness (especially when he was younger), makes him one of the best defensive guards of all time. If he didn't carry all that offensive load in his prime, he would have been in contention for defensive player of the year.
no doubt. dwade always had some of the best block numbers among guards during his career.
MrBrenman21 he's 6'5 with shoes, he's like durant lied about his real height, he's 6'3,5 without shoes and 6'4'75 with shoes, he's almost Kobe and jordan height, and he has a 6'11 wingspan, wade arms are ridiculous big, he barely jump for dunk, westbrook and wall are 6'4 and jump a lot of for dunk
@@ytalorafael4578 oh so that’s why. I never knew his wingspan was that big so I was always wondering how come he dunk so effortlessly when his vertical ain’t that high
Best shot blocking Guard of all time
He steal alot too
i got Jordan #1 with wade being a close second..
@@mauricedavis1740 You crazy
@@mauricedavis1740 he passed MJ already even in block stats
@@mandunya naw i actually know my history unlike you. Jordan was a better shot blocker than Wade. He averaged more per game, he has more total career blocks and he’s the only guard to have back to back 100 block seasons. Your the crazy one here..
my BEST nba player of all time! just pure skills and the smoothest player I've ever seen!
Fav defender after Jordan , Wade was a beast defensively plus already reached over a 1,000 career blocks
Definitely a better defender than Jordan ever was buddy
Mohamad Siddig yeah u high
Mohamad Siddig your parents shouldn’t of did those drugs before they birthed you...
@@TheIcemanthomas changed his name so he wouldn’t get called out
@@HugoSanchez-eb2pz im dead💀
Great video. Wade may no longer be the lockdown defender he once was in his prime but he is still a good defender who had his fair share of clutch moments last year. His 6'10" wingspan is unfathomable to think of considering he's a 6'4" SG. IMO, he's the 3rd best SG in today's league behind Harden and Butler.
Miami still loves D-Wade!!! Our franchise's greatest player.
Kevin Surur Well he's the 3rd best SG of all time.
Kevin Surur
Kevin Surur Hardens a pg now and Butler is a sf
wadeshouse136 Okay then. Dwyane Wade is still the league's best SG at 34.
just read on google that its 6'11 but that height or etc. is usually off. Im 5'11 with a 6' 4.5 wingspan, it helps on defense with blocks, steals and defending taller players
This was just as impressive as dunk highlights. D Wade was a monster!
prime wade. Jaw dropping. Always play another level
Even past prime I saw him block Giannis and joel
Fantastic video. D Wade just simply clutch on both ends of the court. Last of a dying breed... of two guards that can take over a game on both ends of the court
Damn! Wade really schooled lowry and derozan on that ECSF series
Wade plays defense like Michael Jordan, a lot of reaches, grabs, and slaps. He has quick hands, but gambles a bit too much. That style works when you have a solid defender behind you, and your opponent KNOWS this and doesn't just walk by you.
So many of these plays he made from experience and anticipation rather than athleticism. Even as his knees went, he could still be a force.
Great video as usual. 👍
3rd best sg in nba history behind mamba/mj and STILL the best sg in the league. Hardens a point guard now and Jimmy still has MUCH ROOM for improvement.
Coming from a D-Wade fan Klay is the best than if you're using that logic.
Myles Allen Klay defense is overrated and he's streaky as hell.
***** klay isn't better than WADE just yet. Wade is a better ball handler, rebounder, passer, better footwork, post defender, shot blocker, fadewaways, hooks.
Klay is quicker on defense because he's younger , better mid range and 3 but can be very streaky and go on long SLUMPS as well. Those strengths I pointed out from wade he has yet to rely on. HE just shoots himself out of cold streaks and hopes one falls.
God WestBrick yes it's overrated, don't be stupid. he shuts no one down, and barely slows them down. stays getting burned lmfao
Jaquarry Jones Why talk about bball if you know nothing about it?
This is why James Harden will never be better than Dwyane Wade
Prime Wade will destroy James Harden for sure!!!
O Ron well if you watched prime dwade against harden and the rockets then you know he did destroy harden.
@@Manu-qq2im Hahaha I didn't reach Prime DWade. I was 4 or 5 years old that time. The first time I watch Basketball was during 2011 finals vs Dallas.
O Ron dwade was still killing harden at that time.
@evin gualberto I wish you did this 2010-2013 when he REALLY amped up his post/man to man DEFENSE.
i LOVE THIS VIDEO
Wade can defend the black mamba
The best player
Good defense! 9 points
I remember at 2:34, spoelstra's first reaction was he thought justise Winslow dunked it, didnt think wade could get up like that anymore
The Great One
I agree
I miss this kind of defense
Great vid bro, do one for Kawhi
Fraser Chaplin I hope you're joking, because I've been doing Kawhi defense videos since before he won his first DPOY.
Do Marcus smart defense 2015-16 please
Can you do a Kemba Walker superb separation video? Any Kemba video would be appreciated.
shaq430 I can and I will! The last time I did one, it got taken down on multiple occasions, so I'm working on a different video entirely. I love Kemba too, so you'll definitely see him on my page again soon
4:38 the only time u get to say good offense but better defense
Bogan bogdanovic is the victim always hehe
Like Jordan, he gets away with a LOT OF FOULS.
Emmanuel Enyinwa most stars do but MJ got away with a Kings ransom of calls.
看到高潮!
Dear NBA Content providers
