A d wade hater

Not to mention all them free throws lol, revenge for all of Wade's in 06 I guess.

they're probably still top 3 with d wade in 2013 form

***** i agree he is very athletic still.

Hez under sized for a sg

STFU dwade was the best player in the NBA in 2011 he led his team to the finals but lbj choked

fucking kidding me?! lol. Im a huge Dwyane Wade fan. He was the best player not in 2011 but in 2009.

Kobe was actually the best player in 2011 thus the reason he was still a 1st team NBA member don't get me wrong d wade was a beat tho too

Joseph Pent noe was the best in 2011

It's about his right knee. He had his meniscus surgically removed the year before he entered the league. So after all the years of wear and tear he is having chronical knee problems because his bones are grinding against each other with no knee cartilage.

There are a lot of people that have many theories of why d-wade is on the decline. My opinion is that he aged naturally after his meniscus surgery before he entered the league. What I mean is from a skills and athleticism perspective he is not OVERLY unlike the old d-wade right now. Even today he is as fast as any guard in the league, he just picks his spots to score and do athletic shit. The reason for this is because he has been extremely injury prone from the start of his career, even the season he averaged 30ppg he was injured for a fair bit of that stretch as well. He has never had a season where he had been perfectly healthy. Even when Lebron was in Miami and they won a couple championships together wade was never truly healthy compared to his old self, people forget about his hamstring pulls and ankle injuries during that stretch and the reason for this is because they ended up winning championships. If one were to look back in time they would realize that the heat barely won in 2013 due to wade practically playing on one semi decent surgerically repaired knee while the other had bone bruises. He has had more than his fair share of injuries but the one that really set him back in his pro career was the shoulder injury in 07, from there he was never really the same d-wade. He got stronger and faster, but he didn't have the fierce cat-like athleticism he had when they won the championship in 06. From then on he has been extremely aware of what moves cause the most injuries and hes stopped taking dives all the time. Then LeBron came onto Miami and he stopped doing things that made us call him flash in the first place. Right now, he is just trying to score as much as he can with the way he has developed his game without too much athleticism needed. But from an athletic perspective, he hasn't lost much speed, he lost some bounce but that's because hes getting old and that happens naturally. He is still strong as hell, but hes just more careful with what he does because the last thing the heat need is for him to blow his hammy out and sit for 10 straight games. He still has the speed, but he chooses not to use it all the time.

Old age and injuries took away from his time to workout. He will get it back working out with Tim Grover. We are beginning to prove age has almost nothing to do with athletics(people in their 60s-70s are becoming as fit and strong as men in their 20s), and that the only real factors, are how effective your workouts are, and what you put in your body. Kobe Bryant defied age in the 2012-2013 season with his incredible dunks and speed and age 34. I'm confident Dwyane will do the same now that he has to with more of a load on his shoulders
