Dwyane Wade gets an early GOAT claim from his wife

In his prime, The Flash was one of the premier players. As one of the TOP 75 players in the NBA, it was a matter of when rather than if Wade will be in the Hall of Fame. Only three nights from today, the 41-year-old will stand on the podium, with The Answer, Allen Iverson by his side. To commemorate his illustrious career and landmark achievement, his wife, Gabrielle Union shared an Instagram story.

Wade’s story began in Milwaukee where he attended Marquette University. Back then, he was a dynamic guard rushing into stardom. He led his alma mater to the Final Four and placed himself as one of the hottest prospects in the draft that year. With such enormous expectations comes the responsibility to deliver. For Wade, the pressure was his comfort zone.

Throughout his legendary career, The Flash embodied Miami’s gritty spirit. There was no one like Wade. He was a basketball savant who paved the way for the modern game.

Looking back at a legendary career

In 2006, as a young boy, he became the man on the team that boasted Shaquille O’Neal. Having one of the greatest Finals series, he put the Miami Heat on the map. Just like that, he became a son of the city.

His legacy rests within Wade County. His decorated career saw several iconic moments. From his pair-up with LeBron James to one final triple-double, the journey along the way was unfathomable.

Dwyane Wade bamboozled defenders on the offense with his rapid moves. He was freakishly athletic with an impeccable mid-range game. As a defensive expert, Wade played much beyond his 6’4″ frame. He was able to block shots and cause terror on either end of the floor.

Apart from being a basketball legend, Dwyane Wade is now a supportive parent cherishing his children’s remarkable achievements. Even in times of controversy, he stood strong as a wall for his transgender daughter, Zaya Wade, celebrating her breakthrough feats.

He is a father who is willing to travel to a different corner of the world only to cheer for his son, Zaire. That is who Wade is. An unbreakable force who will stop at nothing.
