These olympics proved to me that DWade was the best player in the game. Even though everybody played great, Wades game shined the most. He is a natural born leader when it comes to hooping. His abilities speak for itself. Truly the greatest player this game has ever witnessed on both sides of the floor.

Wade is my all-time favorite player. He was always a big big time team player. Possibly one of the best team players of all time. But when it came down to moments like this he would show his dominance. He would step back I believe as a leader even when LeBron came over Dwyane stepped aside I believe intentionally knowing that it would work better for LeBron to allow him to take a lead role and him to back him up as any good leader would do with an assistant. It's simply more efficient. If you look up the stats in this Olympics wade had the highest points per minute of any player in the Olympics. He was able to just take over at any time. I watched several games and things would just change the moment he got going. Thank you for posting this though 👍

How he managed to score 3 point range shots in the finals, and long shots... a beast... probably at that moment he was playing the best "I am NBA team's best option" basketball. Later in 2011 he was "Scottie Pippen" for Lebron James in Miami, but during this Olympics, one of the best players. Carlos Jimenez in Spain was Dwayne Wade in that USA team... As always, great work, greeting from Serbia, and cheer for Serbia tomorrow in the final against Germany :)

The 2nd most exciting player to ever play the game. Kyrie is a walking reel, but EVERYTHING Wade did on the court had a wow factor to it. He has the best career reel next to Jordan. Easily. I don't include Kyrie because he's not as consistent as far as making shots and he doesn't have any defensive highlights. Id exchange Kyrie pull up highlights for Wades defensive highlights any day. Wade was a better finisher, Kyrie is less of an athlete so he needed finesse more, Wade still has more highlight layups than Kyrie. Also no dunks for Kyrie. Wade and Jordan are on a different level than everybody else

People Forget how Strong, Fast, Athletic and Great a Defender Wade was. Reason why Wade & LeBron Duo was almost as great Perimeter defenders as Jordan & Scottie Duo, but way better on offensively plus on the fastbreak. If the Heat could've replaced the Most Overrated Player Ever in Bosh with A.D, then the Heat would've been the most Dominant Team Ever on Offense plus Defensively
