Wade’s selection was not surprising, given his level of achievement over 16 NBA seasons, the bulk of them coming as a member of the Miami Heat.
During that lengthy tenure, Wade was an all-around player, averaging 22.0 points, 5.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in the backcourt.
In addition to those impressive numbers, Wade also ended up being a key part of all three of the Heat’s NBA titles. In the 2006 Finals, Wade took over the series after the Heat dropped the first two games and ended up being named Finals MVP.
Wade’s joy in being part of the iconic group of players was enhanced even more by the inclusion of close friends LeBron James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony.
The NBA is celebrating the league’s 75th anniversary this season, with a number of different ceremonies planned in the months ahead.
