Dwyane Wade

Object Details

Exhibition Label
Born Chicago, Illinois
Now a seasoned veteran, Dwyane Wade has been one of the best NBA players since the Miami Heat drafted him fifth overall out of Marquette, where he was an All-American. He has won three NBA championships, one as the star of the Heat team by himself in 2006—he was named finals MVP—and two with his former teammate LeBron James. A shooting guard, Wade has the ability to be a high-volume scorer—he led the league in 2008–9—and he is also an adept at adjusting his playing to those around him. After being the focal point of his 2006 team, he adapted to the subordinate role of becoming Robin to James’s Batman. Wade always looks like he’s working hard on the court, a contrast to the athleticism of James. Wade is a ten-time All-Star, and he also won a gold medal in the Beijing Olympic games (2008).
Dwyane Wade nacido en 1982
Nacido en Chicago, Illinois
Dwyane Wade, ya todo un veterano experimentado, ha sido uno de los mejores jugadores de la NBA desde que lo reclutó el Miami Heat cuando estudiaba en Marquette, donde era jugador All-American. Ha ganado tres campeonatos de la NBA, uno como líder del Heat en 2006 (y jugador más valioso en las finales) y dos junto a su antiguo compañero de equipo LeBron James. Desde su posición de escolta, Wade es un anotador de gran volumen (el mejor de la liga en 2008–9) y sabe muy bien adaptar su juego a los que lo rodean. Después de ser el punto central de su equipo en 2006, se adaptó al papel subalterno en el dúo dinámico con LeBron James. Wade siempre parece hacer gran esfuerzo en la cancha, en contraste con el atletismo de James. Ha sido All-Star diez veces y ganó una medalla de oro en las Olimpiadas de Pekín (2008).
