Best shot blocking SG in the NBA, Hands down!!!

Wade-blocking
Divac-passing
Okur-3pt shooting
Odom- handles


Unique skill. Awesome. Highlight worthy. Unimportant.

Unimportant?! Okay....

Divac's passing skills made Sacramento much better team on offense.They had most stable offense even with Jason Williams as point guard.

Okur's 3 point shooting made Utah much better team couple of seasons ago.He was literally ****ing every teams defense set with that. He even made all star because his shooting ability.Scored a lot, made clutch 3 point game, made Boozer more efficient in paint. (he has weak post game for his size)

Odom's handles is probably only reason he is efficient on offense. He has average offensive skillset (does everything little bit in average level) however because of his ball handling for his size, he is a true match up problem.

Wade's blocking..not letting easy layups or shoots always good for team.If he blocks one per game, its quite sure he distrups a lot of shoot or lay ups. Leauge leader (much taller and his first goal is protect the rim) has only 2.6 per game, so 1.1 per game is effective enough.

I'm calling it, by the end of Wade's career, he'll be the greatest player of all time. Wade > MJ.

What Wade has is that "quick and great leap with no steps taken...that Barkley had. That makes it possible for him to be a very good shot blocking SG.

That's part of it , yes. Good observation.

Wade plays so much bigger than he is, much like Barkley. There is no doubt in my mind that if Wade was born 6'11 he'd be one of the best centers ever.. Hakeem in how he's so smooth down low in post up and face up game. His exceptional rebounding in trafffic and how well he tracks the ball early to position himself.,

His overall game down low is quite unique for a SG, and he just plays so much bigger than his 6'4" height blending his strength/Power/agility and technically sound skills down in those traffic areas.. it also helps to have very long arms as his arms are the length of a man 6'10"

Wade's biggest problem for his legacy, he has been in same era with Lebron. And now they are teammates.

There is great possibilty he will be overshadowed by Lebron at the end of his career.

This year Wade will set a 40 year record for 3 consecutive seasons of a block or more per game average for a guard. Jordan only did it in 2 consecutive seasons (87 and 88), and in Jordan's career only had a block or more average in 3 seasons TOTAL in his career (the other year was 1991).

Wade will do it in 3 consecutive years.. the first time a guard has done that in almost 40 years

Wrong, Jordan had it three years in a row he just went down with an injury that effected the rest of that season.

Also, michael jordan peaked at 1.6 wades highest has been 1.2 lol.

Well, who isn't gonna be overshadowed by LeBron? But, it's like most of the basketball pundit and fan world has lost all common sense. They can't process that if LeBron is the best player alive, it's still possible for Wade to be the 2nd. Look at the man's damn numbers. Only LeBron and Howard's were better, and Wade outplayed everyone else as arguably a 1b.

As for Wade's shotblocking not affecting games, it changes games. I've seen players afraid to go up one-on-one and kick the ball back outside when Wade was the only one at the rim protecting it.

Through eight years, the man is carrying averages of 25.4 pts, 5.1 rebs, 6.3 asts, 1.8 stls, 1 blk, 48.5% FGs. Some of you need to seriously wrap your head around the fact that this is one of the best players ever.

Agreed. Who knows if heat would be dynasty he might have better place in all time list. Because what Wade did in 2005-2006 playoffs was remarkable.Media was focusing on Shaq but except detroit series, Diesel was clearly become second option. Biggest slice of championship cake was belong to Wade.
