21 is the most under rated play in nba history. Wade actually split a double team and finished around 3 players. Only time I've ever seen someone single handedly go through an entire defensive unit.
Harnoor Singh W
Harnoor Singh agreed. there's no one dit it better than Wade.
MadmanGoneMad2012 is
Harnoor Singh I was literally going to just comment that. Beautiful play.
Harnoor Singh this play is ridiculous, he dribles 5 defenders, this and a chasedown block on hawks series in 2009 are he most underrated plays,and a reversal aley oop against cavs in 2006 was insane too look at
one of the most underrated players in nba history
And yet he is the 3rd best shooting guard of all time
I feel like some underrate him because he was so injury ridden and believe someone like AI should be above him in terms of top sgs of all time. Others also argue that AI carried a sixers team all by himself while Wade always had someone to win a championship albeit that 2006 finals was a top 3 finals performance of all time. Plus he never got an mvp to his resume even though it was stolen from him in his prime years. I think that is why for truly being a top 3 sg of all time some still underrate him.
+dompaPro ^^^^^^
Boogie Cousins #MakeNBAFairAgain He's a top 3 talent to ever play
The most underrated ever in the game hands down.
Wade might be the goat of body control and lateral movement. He's so ridiculously explosive side-to-side and nobody can do what he does while he's in the air. He put Kevin Garnett of all people in the spin cycle on that euro-step, insane.
great body control, lateral movement, timing, awareness, iq. could've been one of the best individual players if he wasn't so team oriented and went after personal accolades.
That title belongs to Michael Jordan
Wade was insane in his prime. Dude put his body on the line like crazy.
The most underappreciated player in NBA history , iam watching the nba for over 30 years and i will bet my money that there is not a single player in nba history at 6,4 who can block l 7 footers like that , make 90 feet alley oop passes , slice like a knife trough 5 defenders , block at the defensive end at the same time throw a 70 feet 3-pointer , this guy is the total package in his prime , career wise yes kobe is in front of him but peak and even prime i would pick Dwade over any guard in Nba history not named Magic oder Jordan .
rad redd ok there is no way you're 30 because you just spelled through "trough"
Matt :D you are 12
He was a beast.
Yeah Wade was an all time great too bad injuries shortened his prime
rad redd that man special 3 best shooting guard ever top 20 player undebatable
Considered the 3rd greatest shooting guard in NBA history, while also being considered one of the most underrated players in history. We love you Dwyane, and we know your greatness. Happy Bday.
Also, this is just my personal opinion. I would pick prime Wade over Kobe anyday. Kobe if we are looking at pure scoring alone obviously takes it. But, Dwyane had it all. Best defensive SG in history, incredible athleticism, in his prime he even had some range on his shot, great handles, clutch as anyone and this video proves that, and a basketball IQ that is off the charts and knew when to make the right play at the right time and could read the court like no other. Not to mention an EXTREMELY underrated passer. That is why i would take him over Kobe.
I know this is late as hell...I love DWade but I'd say hes more 2nd best defemsive SG all time...Jordan is 1st, remember his DPOY? (And no I am not a Jordan fan as much as I respect his game)
jumpshot199 🤜🤛👌👐👐
@@jumpshot199 kobe has more 1st n 2nd all defensive team then wade jordan n lebron soooo...kobe still is the best sg n the real goat of the nba. Sorry buddy
@@aaronsmith9577 mj is the best sg by far
His ability to split defense was just crazy though. Never seen anything like it.
The most unselfish superstar of all time. You'll be missed D-Wade!!!! 🙏🏾
he played so hard, it was just beautiful.
Most definitely 3️⃣
No he's not
@@exa0247who is then😂
Disc
I remember back in 2006 against the Mav's, I was like "who's this guy playing like MJ". He almost won the Finals by himself. He won my admiration at that moment
Aymeric Fanien is Klay Thompson better than Wade in his prime?
@@MisterCampbell as a 3 point shooter definitely yes, but they are completely different players, so I couldn't say...
Aymeric Fanien Klay can’t be a number one option.
@@MisterCampbell there is absolutely no chance you ever compare klay to d wade LMAO
@@MisterCampbell the funny part is both players I’d rank so much higher than everyone else. Klay is the perfect player-excellent defender and excellent scorer who doesn’t need the ball-which is what makes him great. Wade though is your nucleus and if you take away his injuries I’ve only seen 3 better players in my entire life-Lebron, KD, prime Shaq. Wade imo is a “first-time HOF”. Klay is too for me but it’s not as definite (I’m in the heavy minority but I think Klay is better than Steph lol)
who else has replayed Varajaeo's baptisement like 100 times
Funniest dunk ever lol stupid varejao
baptismal
Nerd Attack lololol self-felattio 😂😱😂
Better replay the vid with the entire scene of Shaq just sitting on the bench looking on, Lebron tries to dunk but Jermaine O'Neal blocked his ass, Wade runs toward the other side then baptizes Verejao, Reggie Miller quoting _"Welcome to your Kodak moment, Anthony Verejao!!!"_
Dank Swish looking for a poster online
He is probably the best guard to dunk through contact. A lot of guys have been great at dunking but the way he does it through contact is freakin epic.
It's a shame kids of this generation never got to witness 03-2010 D Wade. He was just unbelievable, all most casual fans know him as LeBron sidekick and being injury prone. 3rd best SG all time and a top 15 player all time
Lebron's banana buddy
2009 Wade was Prime Wade
His first 6 years compared to anyone else’s…not a lot of people can beat his
Hes a pg
He was no side kick. He brought LBJ to Miami to teach LBJ how to be a winner and how to play basketball the right way. LBJ said Miami was his college learning time@@logangoldstein2988
Who else is gonna cry when D wade retires? :(
Jsf x my nigga im might stop watching the nba when he retired
young savage98 same
me for sure
Im a heat fan...him leavine made me sad asf

dwade. the reason why I still watch the nba
I'd prolly go cold turkey on NBA when Wade retires.
Russel Keith hell yeah
Russel Keith same here
Yep and now I'm a bulls fan
+Eric Taylor Jr Yepp, *GO BULLS!* 👿🐂
Wade could have been top 10 all time if his body had cooperated. He was a phenomenal player.
Ik. If the play was similar to now his body might have held up.
The sickest crossover Wade has ever done is when he turned Zion in Zaya...
@@elhajjmalikel6266 oh shet😂😂😂
it sucks how they surgically removed his meniscus or something in college
@@insanitysean4939 He did have it removed, and that is why his true prime was short lived from 2004 to 2011.
D Wade in his prime from 2004-2009 is one of the top 15-20 players of all time. Its too bad his peak wasn't longer. Injuries suck
U don’t understand prime as all 😂
@@devantegatson8482 please educate us
@@devantegatson8482 definition of Prime: state or time of greatest strength, vigor, or success in a person's life. "you're in the prime of life"
He started later and ended earlier than most
How can you even hate this guy? Absolutely legendary.
Mark Horrem No one really dislikes him... Like kawhi
@@KGS922 i can think of a guy named anderson and varejao
He let his son become a girl at the age of 12
@@ChrisChris-hf3se ewww! Yeah he definitely deserves hate for that
He’s ok, I give him a 9/10
Wade honestly doesn't get the credit he deserved. Being a Pistons fans, I lowkey still hate him but the guy was incredible
Khary Carson bec he beats the pistons..but thats a hard fought game
I used to hate your pistons, eliminated us in 2005 lol.
Khary Carson wade the goat I was just bored and saw the vid but like wade makes everyone look like shit
D-Wade is Miami Dade, he's done so much for this city. He's my favorite SG!!!! 👏
I watched damn near, if not all of these plays live. Dude was incredible.
I'm gonna miss him when he retires he's done so much for my city.
Reg hes back
Reg hm
@@porkypinetv9788 not for long 😔
💯
Deym he just retired 😔😢
Jesus I never realised how amazing D.Wade was in his prime! Just became one of my favourite players of all-time
This is the craziest buzzer beater of all time man blocked the shot off of pick and roll and then made a full court shot 6:36
Now he has found a new way to make money kzhead.info/sun/aLp8Yb5vjauBe40/bejne.html
When a small guard's highlight include ferocious blocks and dunks over centers, you know he is something special.
Tobey where u at💀
Dwade is a rare player. His highlights show hes an elite player in EVERY aspect of the game.
happy birthday to this legend right here! 35 and still getting it #goat
wade the goat I miss him so much😭😭
wade the goat W my nigga
VideoVend 87
His reverses and layups are on another level
The sad thing is, the way that they play basketball in the NBA today, we will never see highlights like this again.
Sadly
D.Wade is my favorite player of all time man he's the reason why I started watching basketball.
best shot blocking guard of all-time! robbed of mvp in 09!
ROBBED!! Criminal! DWade I’ll take 06 and 09 DWade over gasp.... MJ that’s how awesome he was those years!!!
Dwayne wade is so underrated
Glad to have seen many of these plays live. In those years the only thing better in sports was reading the salty tear filled comments from pacers, celtics and bulls fans. Felt real good. Ty Wade for the fun
All time favourite player :)
Tawseef A mine too
Tawseef A Same
Tawseef A same
Honestly Dwayne Wade is one of the most underrated players ever. He is not of the greatest of all time conversation but the dude deserves so much appreciation. I mean his 2006 finals performance is already enough proof
Play 14 is CRAZY 😳 Difficult shots badge maxed out
06 wade was simply the best nba player of all time. For a single season from then on he played injured. They use to drain his knees weekly starting in 07-08.
5:20 why Allen joined Wade 6:21 why Jermaine joined Wade 6:38 why Amare joned Wade 8:20 why Bron joined Wade 8:05 why Wade joined the Bulls
He felt so bad for the bulls he had to join them
@@Jinkimification nah because that's his home town
Wade joined the Bulls because the Heat front office disrespected him by using up their cap space on noob Whiteside, leaving next to no money for Wade's contract. After a lifetime of being their franchise player. He got done dirty and the issue is very divisive here in Miami but I am Team Flash on this. He chose the Bulls because he's from Chicago.
tbh only a very few number of players have managed to start a legacy right off the bat from their rookie years! I'm glad wade is one of them
Tobeyyyy
an absolute master at splitting the defense, amongst many other things.
Interesting list. Was hoping they'd include his rookie year dunk on Christian Laettner
Did he retire after that lol I loved it as a UNC fan
(Late to the party I know) There's an official NBA vid here about Wade's best dunks
BRO I FORGOT ABOUT CHRISTAN LAETTNER 🤣🤣
@@dominiquejones3805 ùù
2010 midair change and FLUSH
One of my favorite players of all time 💯💯⚡️
TOBEY SHAKE IT
One of the greatest to ever do it at SG, man was a bonafide winner and champion. I was only 8 or 9 when he won his first ring, but he was the reason I became of a fan of the sport.
Man how good dwade is even with all those injuries. Legend
definitely a future HOF! i dont care what everyone says, but there was a point of his career, when DWade was the best in the NBA. this man has a killer instict, unbelievable defense for his size, and ruthless every play. One of the greatest, Dwyane Wade!!!!
He just made it.. And having the best speech in hall of Fame.. all time great #flash
The essence of Wade's game is more like Michael's than any player I've seen. ...the slicing attack, athleticism, and ability to adjust in real time makes him a pleasure to watch
His playstyle (acrobatic finishes, talented handles, cutting, ability to make difficult shots) reminds me of how D.Rose used to play.
prime wade was the MAN. robbed of the 2009 MVP. he carried that young shitty miami team to the playoffs. he was amazing that season
@Substance Must be Nike's marketing that swayed the voters. I think Wade was still under Converse in 2009, who didn't have as much "influence" as Nike.
Big facts. The media really picks the MVP. He was a monster that year
He wasn't robbed of the MVP though. His stats with Lebron were vey similar and Lebron's team was 1st in the East! It is not like his team was much better, so ya a great season but not even close to being robbed.
@@bowenassman8733 yes he was all of dwades major stats were better than lebrons except rebounds which is clear
@@imjjray6266 lol the stats were super similar. 7.5 assists to 7.2, 28.4 vs 30.2 ppg. Diff is Cleveland won 23 more games!!!! So it’s not like Wade was robbed at all.
In the end people will kick themselves for how much they overlooked, knocked, pushed, underestimated, devalued this phenomnal player. His Overall leadership, skill and style has him on another planet to me. I watched jordan and Kobe play and honestly, Jordan and Wade were overall better than Kobe. Kobe just shot to much and didn't really have the patience that Wade possess. Iverson couldn't intimadate big men like Wade. Shaq and Lebron both felt playing with Wade would help them win a chip. Bosh left his only home to play with Wade. All these guards today studied Wades entire game, from harden to Westbrook. The fans of Kobe and Lebron and to some extent Jordan's did everything to diminish and bury this guys whole existence. Wade has the most legendary games and his highlights trump everyone's. People will appreciate him more in the end, wich is really too bad. I hope they rob him for the Allstar game so he gets ignited and shits on the whole league!
I don't expect you to reply, but what do you think now that he's on the Cavs?
I believe everything you said is accurate. But people who don't want to take notice won't ever take notice. Which is sad, b.c. Wade has one of the most powerful on court presences of all time.
raza ahmed People been sleeping on D Wade ever since he got in the league. It's a basketball tragedy that'll he always be known as a sidekick to LeBron and Shaq, he's so much more than that. He's crafted his career from the ground up, and is one of the best finishers and playoff performers the league has ever seen. LeBron could say that he's Batman and he's Robin and the rest of the league wouldn't bat an eye. But all the players and LeBron know that they're equals: peanut butter and jelly. I'm not a Heat fan or even really a Dwayne Wade fan, but he might be one of the most underrated stars the NBA has ever seen.
No doubt. Maybe at this point, and only at this point is LeBron better. Just for the past few years. But people don't acknowledge that LeBron needed Wade as bad as Wade need LeBron, if not more. LeBron could've been sitting ringless for a lot longer if he didn't join the likes of the one and only D Wade.
No disrespect to the mamba but he took to many bad shots for my liking. Great players didn’t really seem to like playing with him. I still love his game though. The guy was a. Killer on the court but his hero game was his downfall, he tried to be too much like Mike. He couldn’t succeed with patience so he forced it over and over. DWade is patience personified. It’s what makes him great. His takeover is like no other. It’s not just scoring when it comes to DWade, he’s everything for a team on both ends of the floor. Kobe’s numbers will always be higher but he’s also played much longer. If Wade was coached by Phil and played with prime Shaq, he would be the one being talked about like the way they talk about Kobe
D-Wade will forever be my favorite NBA player that I’ve ever watched
you know hes good when his 30th greatest play of his career is a 180 behind the back layup
*Honorable mentions* The "Hangtime" dunk against the Cavs in 2009 Double clutch dunk against the Celtics in the playoffs And-1 dunk on Horford in the playoffs Reverse alley oop dunk from White Chocolate Block on Tyson Chandler in 2011 Finals Dunk on Erick Dampier in 2006 Finals Block on JET and dunk in 2011 Finals Pullback crossover ankle breaker vs Memphis with jumper 2 handed pin block vs Nuggets Chasedown block on JJ Redick Spinmove dunk vs Pistons 2 handed pin block on Dwight Howard Fuck there's too many to list......
KryptoChronicutelite ༼ つ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ༽つ 😂😂 my nigga naming all the wade plays...ik tho there's too many
cheers to the true wade fan
When he went over Gary Neal’s head and Euro step dunked on Ginobli in the finals should have made top 10 I was shocked it didn’t make the cut
Also his entire highlight reel against the Pacers in that game he scored 40+ in the playoffs when Bosh was out

Looking for Tobey
🗣STREAM🗣TOBEYWORLD 2🗣
The most underrated BEAST among all of NBA's BEASTS!!! He is INSANE!!!!
this deserves way more views then it has. People these days won't know how good dwade is
Dwade was unlimited energy on the court...most def my fav shot creator💯
You basically saw it all in this video. Game winners, blocks, steals, dunks, and passing. One of the best all around guards to ever do it.
Damn Wade has some sick ass plays I didn't know about
Should've won MVP in 2009
Robert Johnson III imagine Lebron and wade on a team in 2009
Robert Johnson III and the all Defensive 1st Team selection.
Wade, Chris Paul, and Lebron were the three best players of that season. Its hard for me to decide between those 3 as the MVP.
Where’s tobey ?
That spin move to a dunk on Perk was nasty! Still my favorite play ever from him
We all knew what #1 was going to be.
the greatest player to come out the city. Happy birthday to the Chicago goat.
One of the best shooting guards ever. Way to underrated.
That shot block on Stodimire then 3/4 court buzzer beater is so under the radar and under appreciated
He had the hops, crazy lay up package, & handles.
favorite player all time
Where’s is Tobey that’s why Harvard don’t won’t him
What ??
He grew up in Chicago emulating MJ. His game was not about "making the right basketball play." His game was about splitting double teams and attacking the basket . This type of play was derided as "hero ball" but it was only so if you were inefficient at it. Yes, Lebron had to join Wade to win his first championships (someone whose killer instinct was ALMOST akin to MJ's).
His first championship was from the 2006 finals against the mavs.
@@KazumiKun I think he meant LeBron had to join Wade homie not vice versa
We all know the #1... Varejao is best known for that poster on him than for his whole career
I prefer the spin dunk on perk
i was at that game
Younger people just don’t know how great he was in his athletic prime. I’ve said before… baddest dude I’ve seen since MJ.
He was fast, He was smooth, He was FLASH!!!!!!
That spinning layup on mcgee was insane
Yea the 360 was fire wade so goated
Think it was the 2005 playoffs vs the pistons where I thought he reminded me of Jordan the way they could not stop him from getting in the paint . Definitely one of my all time favorite players .
Sensational player in all aspects.
24, 21, 20, 10, 3 He might not be “the goat” but he’s my goat. No one I’d rather watch than Mr Smooth 10/10 Athleticism 10/10 Smooth 10/10 Creativity Edit: 6 is great, too. 3 is outrageous-definitely my favorite
it saddens me that, when this GREAT Player retires we won't see a type of player like Wade's. for me, he's just so Great and Very Unique kind of player that I can see some Jordan's in him(not the fadeaways)but his Super Skills, I really can say that he's the modern Jordan in his era. but still, I'm happy because, even in his age now, he still plays like age is just a numbers. hopefully, before he retires, he can Win championship title for the last time. that would be great for him and for us his true fans. for now, they struggled(bulls) because they still finding that chemistry. but once that chemistry is establish, they got a great chance in playoffs time. #HappyBirthdayTheFlash3
Ricardo Navarro lll W my nigga
All I want is for him to somehow get a ring before he retires then I will accept him retiring lol
W BRO
there is always the possibility of him winning another chip, but its not in the bulls, not this roster at least.
Phạm Anh my nigga wade aint no bench player tho
After I saw play 22 and realized it was only play 22.. I got really excited for the next 21 plays
Here from Toby, Gaby please please text him, I pray for him
Damn I miss this guy, after re-watching his highlights it reminded me how nasty he is. The king of pump fake's and the way he goes up in the basket is so smooth like (MJ) those finishing moves and lay-up's is on another level. Underrated or not he is one of the best point guard that played in the NBA. D-Wade my G! The hero of Miami
where is tobertus
It still angers me that after 2 and a half months, this video has less than 200,000 views... Yet, there's videos of other players with Millions of views after a FEW DAYS! No love for Dwyane Wade. He will always be the 3rd best shooting guard.
Now its at 16.9M. Sometimes slow and steady wins the race! DWade 4 life !!
2nd*
Dwayne Wade is a very special player, both defensive and offensive. Watching him excites me. Striking the ball and throwing the last second baskets is amazing and athletics: excellent. Thanks for everything dear brother : Wade.
I have already watched every moves of D.W in different platform, and I do not mind watch another thousands times. More please, KZhead
One if not the most underrated NBA player (especially closer) in the history of the game. #FL3SH
Damn. I thoroughly enjoyed watching DWade. Such a classy competitor. Not many like him before or after. Gonna miss watching his highlights.
That #5 highlight was so epic😂😆 just wow😮
In my opinion in his prime, he is my favourite player to watch all time. There isn't a player you could compare him to. I miss him
#31 is what inspired john wall to do 360 layups
When you remember watching each of these clips live..damn good times
Where’s Toby
LMAOO IM LOOKING FOR HIM TO
LMAOOOOOO
Manz straight up made a whole essay for insta then said ‘Discard Draft’
I was lucky enough to witness #2 live in the AAA. He actually hit two buzzer-beaters from long distance in that Chicago game. I will never ever forget that one
The highflyer machine! One of the best players in NBA History and TOP 3 best SG of all time. Flash Wade! Miss him witn a Heat jersey.

Hola
Wade Lang malakas
In these times seeing the nba is different from before, now most are three-point shots and good passes with broken records, but before it seemed the pitched fight for the championship are to draw fouls at every moment. Wade was definitely a player who made a history in the franchise 3️⃣💯💪🏿
