Miami Heat: Dwyane Wade Predicts Michael Jordan Will Be Forgotten
While Wade makes a valid argument here, his prediction will not come true. The legacy of Michael Jordan will live on as long as people still talk about basketball.
Let’s break down the situation.
First, let’s discuss Wade’s connection to the G.O.A.T. debate. While he is undoubtedly the greatest Miami Heat player of all time, not many people would consider him to be the greatest basketball player of all time.
However, one player’s name that has been constantly brought up in recent years is LeBron James, who Dwyane Wade happens to be good friends with. They won two championships together as teammates on the Miami Heat.
Their kids have played together on the same team. LeBron James and Wade talk.
They are like peanut butter and jelly, as they would put it.
So, wouldn’t Dwyane Wade want everyone to think that his friend is the greatest of all time? Perhaps, but there is something else to consider here.
Wade grew up in Chicago, idolizing Michael Jordan. MJ means a lot to Wade as well.
Wade’s point is that he grew up idolizing Jordan, just as this younger generation is growing up idolizing LeBron and Stephen Curry. While it is true that Wade may have a bias in favor of LeBron, his idolization of Jordan and his respectable character make his critical insight reliable.
