Legendary Michael Jordan is regarded as one of the best players to have graced the game of Basketball. Jordan has been an inspiration for many young kids and one of them was Dwyane Wade, who won three NBA titles in his illustrious career.
Wade revealed how Jordan captured his imagination and how he wanted to imitate him after watching him on TV.
When Dwyane Wade was inducted into Naismith Hall of Fame last year, he said in his speech, “Before and after my games, I studied the player who had replaced my Pops as my favorite — Michael Jordan… The way he soared through the air felt like forever. He created moves that made me immediately rush to my backyard to recreate them. He captured my imagination and fueled my aspirations all at the same time.”
On the other hand, Wade admitted he might not be the greatest shooters of all time but got the experience of playing different roles in different positions. Wade also made a potent duo with LeBron James while playing for Miami Heat.
Wade said on 7PM in Brooklyn podcast while talking to hosts Carmelo Anthony and Kid Mero, “I had to run it back because no one really knows, they don’t understand my game. You don’t know what I did. I did so many different things, I played so many different roles. I’m not the greatest shooter of all time, but I was great at so may different things… I learned to be great in all of these things. And no one knows how to really break down my game …
“When I had it, I had it. Before injuries, I’m like MJ (Michael Jordan). I’m coming for you. That’s my mentality. I thought I’m gonna be the greatest because I figured it out early in the league…”
Wade won NBA titles in 2006, 2012, and 2013.
