Stats

When looking at D-Wades stats, they jump right off the page at you. A career 22 point per game scorer, he did so on around 48 percent shooting from the floor. A really good figure in itself, but to put it in total perspective, Dwyane Wade made half of all the shots he ever took. Having averaged just over 30 points per game in the 2008-2009 season, a season in which he won the NBA scoring title, he took his highest amount of shots per game for a season at 22 per game.

Even at 22 field goal attempts per contest, he still converted 11 of those shots on average per night. Even outside of his scoring prowess, Dwyane Wade has career averages of around five rebounds and five assists per games, while throwing in almost two steals and a block per game. To cement his numbers even more, he is arguably the greatest shot blocking guard that the NBA has ever seen.

Looking at his statistical numbers on a macro level, he currently ranks number 29 of all time in scoring at 23,165 points. On January 6 of this season, he joined a list that only features two other names, those of Michael Jordan and his long time friend LeBron James. D-Wade became only the third player ever in NBA history to go for 20,000 points, 5,000 assists, 4,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals, 800 blocks, and 500 made three pointers across their NBA careers.

When it comes to the leaders of the Miami Heat statistics, Wade’s name is all over the chart. He is the leader in: games, minutes played, field goal attempts, field goals made, 2 pointers made, 2 pointers attempted, field goals missed, free throws, free throw attempts, assists, steals , turnovers, points, personal fouls, usage percentage, offensive win shares, defensive win shares, overall win shares, and value over replacement. He basically leads almost every category.
