Dwyane Wade - Supreme Shot Blocker
Спорт
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.
I know some of you will complain about this block or that block not being in this video, but these are the ones I could get, and format, and fix. This isn't comprehensive, not by a long shot, but it is meant to be fun, so let's soak it all up.

he's not just a dynamic athlete, he's a true great shot-blocker. Notice in the later years he didn't have as much lift so stuffs the player at the start of the play. Clever, catquick on the ball defender.
Wade is the ultimate beast. He can score and defend like a monster. Even though he's older now, Chicago landed an awesome player in D-Wade.

Career highs for total blocks in a season: Kobe Bryant = 67 in '03 LeBron James = 93 in '09 Scottie Pippen = 101 in '90 Dwyane Wade = 106 in '09 Michael Jordan = 125 in '87 & 131 in '88

HeyItsUltra! Wade has nearly as many blocks in less games though.
Dwayne has some of the most chaotic defensive plays I’ve ever seen. Phenomenal.
Best shot blocker ever its one thing to be 7ft and black smaller guys but to be 6ft 4 and average over a block a game for his career
best defensive guard of all time
Man, Wade is a really mean defensive anchor. If Lebron had his demeanor, he would be far more scary than now.
Dwade is so great at blocking that he even block Dirk's shot
THE UNDERRATED DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF ALL TIME
Wade 's instincts for blocks reminds me of MJ.
0:22 damn. You can even see duncan's left extending to push wade off.
haven't seen anyone block kobe's shot in the post whiling fading, my god wade explosiveness is in a league of its own
His abnormal wingspan obviously helped but being 6’4” and to rack up as many blocks as he did in his career is insane. Elite IQ, hustle and fearlessness.
All round, Wade has been the best guard in the game for about 12 years now. Sorry but Kobe wasn't running down shots and swatting them in the third row. Like Lebron, DWade is also a freak of nature. The guy is built like a rock, size 15 feet, huge powerful hands, long arms, strong legs with amazing leaping ability for such a beefy guy. Wade is a true beast.

Kobe is very overrated. He came in hungry but he fell off years ago. Wade has really been the best guard in the game since he won his first piece of hardware. Kobe was the man before Wade came along. He didn't adjust to the modern game like Wade did. All of Kobes first teams belong to Wade. Kobe being better than Dwyane Wade is nonsense and this is coming from a fan of Kobe

Just a survey: Who do you think is the best Big 3 of all time? 1 - MJ, Pip and Rodman 2 - Duncan, Parker, Ginobili 3 - LeBron, Wade, Bosh 4 - Pierce, Garnett, Allen 5 - LeBron, Kyrie, Love 6 - Durant, Westbrook, Harden 7 - Kareem, Magic, Worthy 8 - Durant, Curry, Klay 9 - Melo, Stoudamire, Chandler 10 - Westbrook, Melo, PG 11 - KAT, Butler, Wiggins 12 - Hakeem, Barkley, Drexler (I can't think of anyone else please let me know if there's more) From skill standpoint.

Scouting report must have sucked to hear. "Yea, he's the best pick and roll guy in the league, shoots the midrange like jordan, annnd might as well be 7 feet tall. But it will all look that much more embarrassing cause he's a 6'3 guard."
This is so satisfying. Thank you.
Dwade really inspires me to work in my game and become a better defender

Wade is the 2nd best SG of all time, Kobe is 3rd... his prime is short. 2006-2009 season he played very well but Miami Heat is suck that few seasons...
this makes him better than kobe for me

2nd best 2 guard ever. If he shot as much as Kobe he would average as many points or more. Check the stats. Wade is far more efficient.
