The Greatness Of Dwyane Wade Gets Overlooked

Dwyane Wade is going to be retiring after the 2018-19 season. He's had a very interesting career and in this video, we're gonna take a look at what makes him so great. I also address some misconceptions that some fans might have about him.
I make all kinds of NBA videos which include trivia, analysis, player stories, countdowns, conspiracies, and mysteries. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

Melo was always a boss in the team while Wade has learned to play different roles early on in his career. In the grand scheme of things, Melo is kinda unfortunate cuz there wasn't anyone to tell him to stop and now his ego is too much to put aside

Dwyane Wade he’s so overlooked. Imagine if he never got his meniscus removed? Yet he’s still a star. Definitely needs more respect than what people give him. His finals performance is also ranked up there with Jordan at just 24 years old. Easy to say D.Wade made Miami Heat relevant if anything just like Jordan is for the bulls, Dirk is for the mavs, Wade is for the Heat.

[@X02Overdose]

Shawn Kemp Portland had a good squad for most of the time Drexler was there. He didn’t really “carry” them

[@muneebsharif543]

no his third ranking comes from the fact that hes better than any SG except Kobe or MJ. MIller was overrated and there are dozens of videos on it all over youtube so not much needs to be said, Drexler on the rockets was passed his prime and played with Prime Hakeem when MJ was out of the league... enough said, David Thompson and Iceman played in the 70's aka the weakest era, but even if we ignore that their stats arent as good nor are their accomplishments. and Jerry west was mainly a pg, but even looking beyond that his stats are comparable to wade despite the (proven) fact that stats from the 60's were inflated due to the significantly higher number of possesions every team got per game.

[@megumi6499]

If he hadn't been injured so many times, Wade would've been placed much higher on the All Time players list.

Omg ppl do not respect d wade as much as they should. He won the ring with Shaq as the best player on his team. Sure he was with Lebron when he won the other ring but he was still a huge part of the rings. Without him no ring for the heat. He is the best heat player of all time. And that is why he needs the respect. He is and incredible player.

[@panner11]

Honestly, Wade does get a lot of respect. He doesn't have many haters. The only messed up thing is that Shaq doesn't give Wade a lot of respect. When talking about the top 50 players of all-time, Shaq wanted to include penny hardaway, but was hesitant on Wade. And Wade is guy who averaged 34.7ppg in the finals and carried Shaq who only averaged 13ppg in that finals. Shaq also always tries to claim MVP for that season when he wasn't even the best player on the team. I guess Shaq wasn't happy about being overshadowed by a 24 year old that season.

[@timplejohnraileyg.6469]

How can you be a "bad locker room guy" in basically one season?! The Bulls/Cavs are rotten orgs. Why take a bunch of rookies and team quitter Rondo's word over an all time great in Wade and an all star in Jimmy Butler?! No one who ever played with Wade on the Heat for the bulk of his 15 going on 16 year career could ever call him a bad teammate. Even with volatile players like Michael Beasley and now Hassan Whiteside. He's the only one on this current team that even bothers to get Whiteside involved, even so-called all star point guard Goran Dragic doesn't do it. Wade's given up his body, not to mention left plenty of cash on the table, all for the greater good of the 305.

[@myzo247]

His basketball IQ is so great man I keep telling this to doubters. He's the only one who ever thought of involving whiteside on every play, like what the fuck man. Whiteside playing badly at the same time wade leaving miami was not a coincidence.

[@daleoralde9616]

Love your video bout wade man. Thanks

[@TheBeestMode]

I have D WADE #2 on my all time shooting guard list. Behind only Jordan. WADE has always done what's best for his team. KOBE did what was best for KOBE. SHAQ played with both of them. And he (SHAQ) was the best player on all of those Lakers teams. WADE was clearly the best player when SHAQ joined the Heat. Yet WADE gets penalized for playing with SHAQ. And then there is LEBRON. If it wasn't for LEBRON playing so poorly in the Finals WADE would have 4 rings, another Finals MVP and a 3peat on his resume. WADE also should've won the league MVP in '09. He is the most unappreciated superstar ever.

[@thirtyacres7504]

Wade's 2006 Finals was Wade at his best. I like Wade. My criticism of him was his somewhat rapid decline. It's as though father time took over so quickly. I think the rest of his career can be accredited to better players around him such as LeBron and Bosh, and Shaq. That 24-year-old athletic player with the Westbrook-like motor faded away quickly. So for me, it's #3 Longevity and short prime years.

[@coreykaunfer6167]

@@gunkmangeezy3741 accualy he's right..all in prime form id even take wade over lebron too. Wade was the balance between both kobe and lebron. Far more of a willing passer than kobe, and doesn't jack up so many shots like kobe does. And unlike lebron wade was always aggressive when times got tough ,and when he needed to be. You never know which lebron is going to show up. Stats won't tell ppl this truth. And unlike kobe and lebron..wade could dominate OFF OF another position. He took his college experience with him..unlike melo. Again..if i have to choose between the three..im definitely taking the one with the college basketball experience.

[@nankun23]

You forgot to mention his shoulder injury.. i think that has a lot to do with his shortened prime.. he was killing it in 2007 and could’ve went back to back championships. Remember, he took his team to the second round when he was a rookie. Took them to the ECF in his 2nd year before he got a rib injury.. no doubt they would’ve gotten to the Finals that year if it wasn’t for that and most likely gotten his first ring. Then on his third year brought them to the promise land. Then next year he injured his shoulder and they lose the first round. Dwyane Wade was built to win championships if he only had been surrounded with the right players.. i think a lot of NBA players are jealous of him because of his rings.. you guys will notice Chuck, Webber and all those guys who didn’t win hated Wade. Thats my opinion

Tbh I still think Clyde has an argument for 3rd best SG. Scoring is close. Clyde was a better rebounder and passer (most assists by a 2 guard ever). Better shooter by far.
