Wade's overall total would be higher as well if he didn't miss so many games over his career. Him and LeBron came in the same year and compare lebron's played games total to wades.

About Wade now. He certainly is an amazing shot blocker for a guard but I don't think that he can reach 1000 blocks. He won't play so many seasons in order to do it. If he played until his 40s then he could do it.
True, but Wade isn't 6"4. Everyone in the locker room from Lebron, Haslem, and even Sooelstra have said that 6"3 is being generous.
Lol what is this nonsense.

There are official pre-draft measurements done every year. Wade is 1 inch shorter than Redd, 2 inches taller than Deron Williams, the same height as Tyreke Evans, etc. Wade is 6'5" in shoes.
Not trying to derail the thread, but:

I see what you are seeing in the picture, but I would rather trust the opinion of guys who are around him than what I see in one picture -- always difficult to tell height based on angles and assumed height of others. So it is not nonsense. Obviously Lebron's saying he is 6"1 is exaggerating, but it seems like he thinks he's 6"3.
Ok, carry on.

There is nothing assumed. The dudes were officially measured. Wade is 6'3.75" without shoes. He is one inch shorter than Michael Redd and two inches taller than Deron Williams. He is 0.25 inches shorter than Tyreke Evans and 2.75 inches taller than Ben Gordon. He is 2.25 inches shorter than Kenneth Faried and 1.5 inches taller than Randy Foye. Those are facts. The picture was just supplementary. I trust facts over LeBron's guesstimation of his teammate's height.
