Esteemed icon and former Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade has always recognized that winning championships took more than individual ability and power — it was about tenacity and great teamwork. As such, the players around Wade were one of the keys to his success in the NBA.
Wade quickly established himself as one of the league’s premier players after being selected by the Heat with the fifth pick of the 2003 draft, and the franchise quickly went to work to build great teams around him.
