admitted.<\/a><\/p>\nWade later prefaced that the remaining players on his list would not be in any order, just how they were coming to his mind. \u201cI go MJ. I go Kobe. I mean, they were the same player. You saw one, you saw the other.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously LeBron,\u201d he added. \u201cGetting a chance to watch him play, but I got a chance to see him up close and personal for four years in a row. I never saw a greater basketball player when it comes to the way he plays this game. I watched Jordan from afar.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next name on the list, D-Wade referred to as one of his all-time favorites. And how could it not be? It was someone who changed the culture of basketball across the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom there, I\u2019ll go with AI. One of my favorite players. Just a little dude who just, there\u2019s nothing you can do with him. The way he was just a giant killer. He attacked everybody in front of him.\u201d\u00a0Of course, Wade acknowledging Iverson was not off character for him.<\/p>\n
Wade has been very public about his love for AI, and it\u2019s a well-known fact that he wore the number 3 on his back during his playing career as a tribute to him.<\/p>\n
But who else graced this incredible list? Wade\u2019s final three choices were as spectacular as his previous four.<\/p>\n
Steph Curry: Steph didn\u2019t do it in a whole different way that we didn\u2019t see coming.<\/p>\n
Shaquille O\u2019Neal: I\u2019ve never seen a more dominant force play this game.<\/p>\n
Kevin Garnett: Kevin Garnett was one of the most versatile players I\u2019ve seen play basketball.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s honestly hard to argue about any of the choices. Those 7 names combined for a grand total of 24 championships. Each man dominated the game in a different way and found success in the best league in the world. Wade certainly belongs on someone\u2019s list himself. That said, it was very cool to hear a legend\u2019s own rankings of other players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many people have given their list of the best basketball players in NBA history.
