It´s incredible to see how soon Wade hit his prime... I mean he was a superstar even in his rookie season. Having played for 2 years in college really helped him be more NBA-ready than his draft friends (lbj, Melo...) although he was the first to slow down and suffer several injuries later on.
I remember this game like it was just earlier this morning. I was hyped up with Melo and Lebron, but this guy was my favorite rookie. While watching that game, I was goin, "Man, this this dude doesn't play like a rookie!" He was light years ahead of his peers. Melo wasn't gunning like this during his 1st playoffs. From then on, I knew this dude was the real deal /GK
This was the first game onnlive i saw DW and i fell in love with this cat. He was the only of the big three rookies of 2003 to went to playoffs. Sorry the first time i saw dwane was on the rookie game of 2004 in LA. Im from Spain so this year the chanel of NBA from Spain didnt do games of Miami so this was the first game.
Max Anderson not even close, wade is top 15 all time harden will never be top 25, wade was the best player in the league in 2005-2006 and 2009 harden never was best player in the league, he never average over 30 ppg
jaydexe are you kidding me? Wade in 2009 was the best offensive and defensive player the league but heat team was like thunders 2017 team absolutly garbage without wade heat was the worst team in the league just like 2008, second best player was beasley and jermaine, team was so trash man wade take them to 44 wins, every heat game in 2009 season was a highlights show of wade , that season was epic, wade average 1,3 block and more assist than lebron too
The Wallstar agree james harden offense is elite , but defense and specially playoffs performance harden isnt close of wade , harden never does nothing special like wade, i think durant has wade lvl but harden for sure isnt close of wade
While they aren’t completely the same, I had to come and watch this to see if the comparisons to Donovan Mitchell make sense. And yea they really do. Rookie to peak wade was still a little faster (which is saying a lot) and utilized the mid range a lot more (different era so understandable) but they do similar things with very similar frames.
meanwhile lebron on the couch watching...but let me guess the heat had a way better team then the cavs that year lol(they were both lottery teams the prior season)
Jarvase O'Brian dundy the cavs were worse and Lebron increased there wins by 18 games. If the heat hadn't acquired Lamar Odom who was their best player that season Wade's ass would've been at home too💀💀💀
Top 5 SGs of all time without question 1- Jordan 2- Kobe 3- West 4- Wade 5- Iverson. Honorable mentions - Pistol Pete, TMac, Reggie, Ray Allen + Cylde Drexler, George Gervin + James Harden(even though I dislike him).
@@deetheoriginal3117 one good knee anyway. you need a meniscus as a shock absorber otherwise it's easy to develop pain and arthritis in that joint. And you know how he was very dependent on his explosiveness and athleticism.
CurryThe GOAT OF MANKIND THE PAPI of RAGE! Klay is trash and overrated as a defender. Wade is the best shot-blocking SG ever. Klay is grabage compared to the Flash.
Klay has been utter garbage in the finals. Wade was Jordan lite in his first 2 appearance and clutch in 2012 and 2013. As far as rookie comparisons...Nigga please!
Man Wade was something special even as a rookie.
LeHeat James facts he needs to come to Cleveland
King Wani W he's old but he still my man The Flash
LeHeat James thats y u joined him ... jus know we were the two best players u ever played with & im not talking about wade .
Kyrie Waiters dope dude lol
DWade is involved in so many classic games.

Lol hes my fav player and ill tell you he wasn't ever on lebron level. You must be young af.
Jerome Davis yea 06 finals the 08 olympics and the 08-09 season wade was was the best
@@jeromedavis1162 06-09 hes better than lebron he got his first ring before lebron in 06 in just his third year
He wasn’t a superstar rookie season
@@yournoassholethat’s such a dumb reasoning

Same here bruh. I was 17. Thinking the same shit.
The fact that he was a rookie and he was killing it in the playoffs #livinglegend
I miss watching this man play! Dwayne Wade what a great player!
Ladies and gentlemen...FLASH‼️🔥🔥🔥
Wade 3 best SG of all time
This was the first game onnlive i saw DW and i fell in love with this cat. He was the only of the big three rookies of 2003 to went to playoffs.

I bet Shaq was low key watching Wade during the 04 playoffs 😂
FunkNatives lol
He was
Lmao funny that.. shaq just mentioned that he did..on all the smoke podcast 😂
shaq was already scouting his next team after the lost to detroit in the 2004 finals. He finally overcame the Pistons with Wade in 2016.
Sometimes you need a reminder as to how great Dwayne wade was, wow. This is a rookie doing all of this. Never seen anything like that since.
I watched this game. I knew this guy was gonna be one of a kind.
Heat fans almost forget everything wade did for this franchise, since he left heat.
no we don't
we dont.. we wish he is still playing with our current core..
Tf you even saying!?
Dude was amazing from the very start 🔥🔥💯💯
D wade the flash in his prime 2006 nba finals mvp.
I miss the days when rookies actually played meaningful minutes. Nowadays rookies can't even start.
Scott Bennici porzingis did, to name a few
DWade in his prime>>> James Harden

jaydexe Wade beat him in ast ppg steals blocks and FG% that year
Dwyane Wade - 30.2 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 7.5 APG, 2.2 SPG, 1.3 BPG, 3.4 TO, 49.1% FG, 31.7% 3PT, 76.5% FT.

Way More clutch than Stephanie Curchoke 😂😂😂
Best shooting guard Eddie Jones played with
Don't forget that kobe played with Eddie too.
The GOAT period #TheFlash
3rd greatest shooting guard of all time behind mj and Kobe
no one cares king wani
stop trolling with the same old comments
I concur

3er best SG of alltime. Im a big fan of AI but hes on the 4rd,5 or 6 place of SGoAT.
When you go at BD! Like that you have to be one of the Best to Do It!
2:23
When NO was considered a eastern team
Yes they were
please put the 2004 game 1 highlights
He's no Barry Allen
The Wallstar Who's your favorite superhero or villain?

Fullmetal Exactly

@@tahirabdulshaheed3598 wade was the best on that team idiot
@@mo2k638 no he wasn't dipshit
FLOG GNAW Dwayne Wade was the best on that team in the playoffs Eddie Jones averaged more points then Lamar Odom during the regular season lol
Correct me if im wrong. But no rookie ever made a impact as big as d wade other than Jordan..
Top 5 SGs of all time without question 1- Jordan 2- Kobe 3- West 4- Wade 5- Iverson.
Honorable mentions - Pistol Pete, TMac, Reggie, Ray Allen + Cylde Drexler, George Gervin + James Harden(even though I dislike him).
You have anything from Wade's second season?
How did the neworleans played the heat in a playoff series when they are in the west?
I'm confused, how did these teams meet in a series?
The hornets were the Charlotte Hornets at one point later on they became the New Orleans Hornets which is outwest but at first they were a East team
Big Bee Hornets were in the East back then.
John Jones yeah I knew that, it's just the NO threw me off cus I'd didn't know they were still in the east when they first moved to New Orleans
The jerseys say new orleans 🤔🤔🤔
If only he tried to get ripped at this age....
Fizzer He already was loom at him
Wonder what Kobe was doing in his rookie year?
Kobe was 18 his rookie year wade was 22 and more ready for the NBA
Regardless, Wade's talent exceeds Kobe. LeBron was 18 in his first year and also dominant.
@@gloedup150 Wade was 21 dumbass.
I prefer this Wade as a player and person. Now he always doing too much
play his entire nba career without a meniscus
I think u meant with a meniscus
@@deetheoriginal3117 yeah he played with one meniscus.
@@metsrus so he basically played on one knee in his entire career
@@deetheoriginal3117 one good knee anyway. you need a meniscus as a shock absorber otherwise it's easy to develop pain and arthritis in that joint. And you know how he was very dependent on his explosiveness and athleticism.
@@metsrus could you imagine if he would've stayed healthy and never had a meniscus removed or knee problems
oh look it's lebron savior
Stephortless #IamAOG L KD saved Steph ass in the finals
It’s not even worth to respond to
Your profile pic is disrespectful get curry the fuck away from the GOAT. smh disrespecting MJ like that.
So....we just gonna pass the fact the Playing New Orleans I
The EAST?!?!!
Prime wade>m.j. if u actually compare there games you would find urself looking clueless to what Jordan did better than wade young flash
Ballin Too Fuck no
klay can shoot and defend every position wade at 6'3 just couldn't, which makes klay in alot of peoples eyes the better player
CurryThe GOAT OF MANKIND THE PAPI of RAGE! Klay is trash and overrated as a defender. Wade is the best shot-blocking SG ever. Klay is grabage compared to the Flash.
he's just good at 3's, nothing better than wade overall
Fuck you idiot
Rookie Klay>>>>>rookie Dwade klays 2 championships mean everything
CurryThe GOAT OF MANKIND THE PAPI of RAGE!
I tell you DWade has 3
Klay has been utter garbage in the finals. Wade was Jordan lite in his first 2 appearance and clutch in 2012 and 2013.
As far as rookie comparisons...Nigga please!
Keiichi K 👀👀
John Jones klay hit 11 3s in a playoffs before, and locked kyrie and jr up in this years finals he is very good sg
