There is something about going up against a bigger, taller player and swatting the basketball away without knowing what hit them! This is what Dwayne Wade has been doing his whole career. While most centers are busy swatting shorter players, Wade takes great pride in preying on taller players who, on average, are 2 inches taller than him. Heat coach Eric Spoelstra says that Wade is such a phenomenal shot-blocker because he has great awareness, alertness, and instincts. He's 6-foot-4 on a good day, but he has that 7-foot wingspan and big hands. He simply has a complete understanding of the Heat system and what it takes to defend a bigger player and alter the game. Instincts are razor-sharp!!! Historically, we have no precedent. Wade is the only guard in NBA history to average a block per game over his career. Ultimately, Wade might be the best shot-blocking guard the league has ever seen. Check it out...
