Dwyane Wade Olympic Highlights 2008

[lilteapot]

One of the most fun players to watch for sure.

Pure Beast... That lob to Kobe was sick

That was insane

[BuffaloBill]

Those Euros couldn't match Wade's speed and quickness even in their dreams.

Truly amazing

06-11 Wade was the most exciting perimeter star in the league for me.

His body control was phenomenal.

Wasn't feeling the baldy though.

truly.. flash

[JimmyMcAdocious]

His first step into a euro step is so sick.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Pretty sure he took HGH that summer, but yea he was a beast on Team USA in the 2008 Olympics.

[dubnation]

This makes me sad

Dude was so fun to watch before injuries took away his athleticism... Just imagine what 08-09 Wade would be doing to the league right now.

[Wade's Rings]

2004-2005 or 2010-2012 Wade would be dominating the League now.

i remember that wasnt he injured and every1 was surprised how athletic he got

Yea, had more spring than he did from 2004 - 2007 pre shoulder / knee injuries. Also gained a LOT of muscle mass compared to his more sleek, quick frame from the pre injury state. Not complaining though, Wade when healthy was one of the most unique, and exciting players to watch ever.

It was fun watching him play in his prime. Definitely a top 25 player of all time.

that kobe dunk at 2:05 was insane

Wade is nice but he lacks the caliber of pure scoring ability (quick iso and/or contested jumpshooting repertoire) of Kobe, which was required with the championship on the line - all of Kobe's scores down the stretch against Spain were pure scoring gems, whereas everyone else (Wade, lebron, etc) had more basic ball-dominant skillsets that required set-up time (thus less effective in high-pressure stretches)
