SVG: Wade is the best player I ever coached

Q: Best player you have coached?

A: (Dwayne) Wade. Then Dwight. Wade was spectacular and very early-on in his career. His first playoff game as a rookie we put the ball in his hands. He winds down the clock and hits the game winner with three-tenths (of a second).

Always liked SVG, nice to see him show some respect for Wade.

Agreed, I liked SVG when he was here and always considered him to be a very good coach. I also thought him being here early in Wade's career was beneficial for Dwyane because he trusted him a lot and gave him freedom while also teaching him things.

So true. People can say what they want about SVG, but I always thought he was a great coach that got screwed by outside forces in his career.

Yeah, I was seriously upset when we demoted him. I thought he brought out the best out of Wade. We all know Riley has no patience for rookies. SVG was the best thing to happen to Wade because SVG played nothing to lose and gave the ball to the rookie.

I think we would have won the Finals in 05 had it not been for Wade's rib injury.

I was mad about his firing right up until we won the Finals. Then I was like, "Okay. Maybe Riley knew what he was doing." I didn't like him much in Orlando. I love him on the radio now. He should do a show with his brother. PEACE.

SVG's segments with LeBatard are golden. Golden.

SVG on the radio is pure gold. Love to hear his thought and views.
