If one wishes to attain greatness in basketball, there aren’t many people like Dwyane Wade to learn from. The 41-year-old was one of the most skilled athletes to have ever played the game. He is also one of the biggest superstars of the game who has maintained and add to his level of fame after retirement.

The Hall of Famer is a three-time NBA champion and a player who was extremely crucial on the defensive end. In a recently surfaced clip, he can be seen teaching his son, the intricacies of being a good defensive player. More importantly, Wade shared his wisdom on how to control significantly bigger opponents.

Dwyane Wade shares his wisdom

Wade is often seen as someone who is better than what he gets credited for. While his name is not recurring in the NBA’s GOAT debates, there is a section of fans that believes that he should be put up alongside other greats of the game. If we look into his contributions to the game, those demands don’t seem very far-fetched as the Miami Heat legend achieved a lot during his 16-year-long career. One thing that the superstar misses on his resume is a league MVP award, but he has three championships, a Finals MVP, and defensive team selections to be hailed among the very best.

Wade has a 21-year-old son who is also a basketball player. In the clip, we can see him giving input to his son on how he can guard bigger opponents more effectively. Wade tells Zaire that sometimes he might need to switch his stance and position on the court depending on the situation. The Heat legend said “You gonna be on someone way bigger than you, way stronger than you. So you need to understand how to guard them.” Then the 41-year-old demonstrated to his son how to perfectly execute a plan against a bigger opponent.
