Dwyane Wade

As you all know that Dwyane Wade (Miami) has just retired from his 16 seasons of NBA career.  He is a future Hall of Famer, and his #3 will be retired number of the Miami Heat soon.  He was one of the best scorer and trick shooter.  He also was one of the best 1 on 1 player in the NBA.  Watch the video below how he shut down the Charles Barkley.  There are tons of skills you can steel from him.

Oh, my bad, this doesn’t tell you how good he is lol.  The video was taken 10 years ago, but as you can see, Chuck is not in the shape anymore and he could play only 1% of his prime.  But did you see Dwade lower his body?  That helped Dwade not letting Chuck pushing himself close to the rim.  You also can use this basic but important defensive skill when you play with the post upper.
If you want to pass your opponents, what you need is to make your first step quicker.  Dwade is not the fastest player in the league, but he could easily pass the defender because his first step is quick.  Watch the video below!  You can see that his 1st or 2nd step is already his top speed.  That’s why he was breaking so many defenders ankles.

I hope to see him play more seasons but just give it up to him!!
