Dwyane Wade is the true embodiment of the Miami Heat.
Not only was he the first truly homegrown superstar the team ever had, but he also played a pivotal role in every single one of their championship runs.
Moreover, he never hesitated to take a step back and share the spotlight with other stars, even though it was always his franchise.
That’s one of the reasons why Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George looks up to him.
In the latest edition of the Podcast P Show, PG-13 claimed that he actually learned a lot from just matching up against D-Wade, watching him mentor the young players, and just how humble he was despite being such a superstar and successful business owner.

It seems like people don’t give Wade enough credit, but he had one of the most impressive careers of the past couple of decades.
From not being a highly-touted prospect to being a top-5 pick and leading a somewhat young franchise to their first title in his first couple of years in the league, Wade should be considered one of the greatest shooting guards of all time.
More than that, The Flash continues to make his presence felt around NBA circles, as he’s often reaching out to younger players to try and teach them the ropes of the game and the business side of it as well.
So, props to D-Wade for such a legendary career and a well-deserved induction to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and let’s hope he gets more praise from now on.
