Is there not a highlight video of Wade's sadly wasted performance?

Man am I going to miss Wade when he gone...

It will be a VERY LONG time before we ever see someone like him, such an amazing player, historic talent.

It literally was one of the best draft picks of all-time. To get a top 25, borderline top 20 player ever with the 5th pick in a draft is unheard of. We were and are extremely fortunate.

I've never wanted to punch someone in the face so badly. Really hoping to run into him at a game one day. I won't hesitate.

Easily top 20 in my book, possibly higher but didn't look that deep into it lately.

An historic career, very very very rare talent.

I bet nobody on here had any idea how good he was or was going to be. I thought he'd be an all star level player similar to Caron Butler. Any redraft would have him going to Detroit. I wonder how he would have developed if he had.

I've got him in the top 30 for sure. There have been so many great players over the years that its hard to suggest where he might be ranked. Would you put him above the Admiral?

Wade is definitely a top 20 player when it's all said and done. No questions.

Who would you place ahead of him. Take your time to answer. That's a tough question.

When I look at rankings, I greatly take into account the impact a particular player had in his era, and don't try to grade generations against each other too much. Bias and rule changes have a big part to play when comparing different eras.
