Dwyane Wade, the famous No. 3 of the Miami Heat, will soon be getting paid for his efforts for over 16 seasons in the NBA. The 3x NBA champion is going to get inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame by Philadelphia 76ers legend, Allen Iverson.
Wade played his last season in the NBA in 2019. He called that year his “last dance”. In his last season, Wade averaged 15 points per game which was very impressive for a 37-year-old. Furthermore, he made sure he saved some memories from that year. The Flash shared a self-diary video that he took before the game against Boston Celtics during his last season.
?In the ?self diary? video, Wade talks about how he is preparing for the game the next day and working out in the gym late at night all alone. “It’s night before we play Boston. It’s probably like 1 am in the morning. Just getting done in the gym. Only about myself really, no rebounders, no trainers, no nothing.”

He also talks about how people want immediate results without working hard on it. “You want an immediate, whatever thing to work right away in the game tomorrow but it may not.”?This video is evidence of why Wade was so successful during his career. With multiple individual and team accolades, he was one of the most decorated stars of his generation. However, everyone doesn’t believe he was as great as most people claim.

D-Wade vs James Harden: The better shooting guard
NBA fans are still debating Jeff Teague’s contentious podcast in which he favored James Harden over Dwyane Wade. Teague tried to back up his claim that Harden was the superior player by looking at the numbers, and he came to that conclusion. When Teague used a peculiar analogy in an interview with Complex, though, things took an unexpected turn.
Teague mentioned the young players’ imitation of James Harden’s style of play, saying that he sees a lot of youngsters trying to copy Harden but very few trying to copy Dwyane Wade. ?Rings don?t matter to me? When I go to the park, I see a little kid playing like Harden. I don?t really see little kids playing like D. Wade.?
