Every NBA fan wrestles with the GOAT conversation eventually. For Dwyane Wade, that moment is now.
The three-time champion has seen it all, from battling legends in the playoffs to teaming up with future Hall of Famers in Miami. Now, through his Wy Network platform, Wade is offering his personal list of the seven greatest players of all time.
Wade’s Magnificent Seven
Michael Jordan
“I didn’t live through the legends of the past, like Magic. For me, everything starts with Jordan.”
Kobe Bryant
“Incredible — he was practically a second version of Jordan.”
LeBron James
“I had the privilege of watching him up close for four years in Miami. I’ve never seen anyone play basketball like that.”
Allen Iverson
“One of my all-time favorites. Small, fearless, and attacked everyone.”
Stephen Curry
“Saw him first in college, then watched him change the league in a way nobody predicted.”
Shaquille O’Neal
“No one dominated with that kind of power. He just steamrolled defenders.”
Kevin Garnett
“Possibly the most versatile ever — technically complete and fiercely unique.”
Final Word: A List From Someone Who Lived It
Wade’s picks blend power, precision, and personal influence. It’s not a list of pure stats — it’s a list built from battles, friendships, and respect.
And while every fan has their favorites, few speak from experience like D-Wade.
