Dwyane Wade the what ifs! By: Omar Black

Without a doubt the third greatest shooting guard of all time is Dwyane Wade. I argue he could've and should've been second behind Jordan but because of the injuries he has to be third. Dwyane Wade wasn't supposed to be a three time champion. In fact coming out of the '03 draft if you asked which one of the three between Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James and Dwyane Wade would have three rings which one would have two rings and which one would have no rings no one would say Dwyane Wade would have the most rings out of the three. Nine out of every ten so called basketball experts would give Lebron three rings, Carmelo two rings and Wade ringless. Ha! Funny how that works because these so called experts all got it wrong and their analyst would've been even worst if injuries didn't remove Wade from so many games. Hell one season Wade nearly missed half of the season due to injuries just the season after he won his first championship. Injuries on top of injuries have hurt Dwyane a lot but with that said with all of the injuries he has three rings. If Wade was relatively healthy most of his career I can only wonder what if. What if Wade was mainly healthy the Big Three would've never happened meaning Lebron probably wouldn't even have a ring. I strongly believe Wade could've won another ring or maybe two with a good healthy overall career. His will and drive is second to no one and I'm including Jordan. Dwyane Wade could've been so much greater than he is and make no mistake about it he's an NBA legend and a future hall of famer. But think about this Dwyane Wade has affected the NBA in so many ways just imagine what would've happened and what would've never happened if he stayed healthy. I give Wade three to four rings with a less injury prone career. He's changed the game for the better but I know his impact would've been greater if he would've been a lot healthier and the funny thing is his careers not even done yet so expect part two years from now when he retires. Go D-Wade!
