After a historic 15-season career, three-time NBA Champion Dwyane Wade has officially been inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2023. Wade won his first NBA Finals in 2006 with Shaquille O’Neal, winning Finals MVP at only 24 years old. From that point forward, it was clear that D. Wade was going to etch his place in NBA history.
Wade was one of the most creative, intelligent, and dominant shooting guards of his generation. As we celebrate the nearly infinite accolades of Miami’s greatest drafted talent ever, his impact beyond South Beach is worth exploring.
