D-Wade
By: Stevie Morris
Dwayne Tyrone Wade, Jr. was born January 17, 1982 in the south of Chicago, Illinois. His father was named Dwayne Sr. and his mother is named Jolinda Wade. He has an older sister by the name of Tragi, who steered him in the right direction when he was younger. His sister taught him not to run with people who would get him locked up or even worse. She kept him out of harms way and she showed him right from wrong .When his parents got divorced, he moved in with his father and his step-mother in Robbins, Illinois. While he was there, he saw Michael Jordan playing in his prime, and from then on he set his ways to play like him. Jordan had all the moves, and he was exciting to watch.
He later attended Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, Illinois. He didn’t really get to play much his sophomore year because he was kind of short, and
he really didn’t know all of the moves then .His step-brother Demetris McDaniel was the star of the team. Wade grew four inches in the summer before his junior year. Then he started to average 20.7 points and got 7.6 rebounds per game. During his senior year he averaged 27.8 points and he led his team to the title game and won it. (Class AA Eisenhower Sectional.)
Wade could only get recruited by: {Marquette University, Illinois State and DePaul University} since he wasn’t really doing well in his classes. Wade couldn’t play his freshmen year because of his academics problem. But when he became a sophomore he was eligible to play, and he led his team in points. He led his conference in steals at 2.47, per game and also averaged 6.6 rebounds with 3.4 assists per game. Wade then led his team to the Final Four; it was the school’s first appearance since winning the 1977 national championship. After the season, Wade was named First Team all-American. He became the first player from Marquette to do so since 1978. On February 3, 2007, after nearly three and half years after his final collegiate game, the school retired Dwayne Wade’s jersey. They retired wades jersey because since he had been gone no one could fore fell the role he had left. Everyone felt he was a very gifted player. They were glad to have him at the school, so they retired his jersey.
Wade was the 5th overall pick in the 2003 draft by the Miami Heat. Wade quickly became the best player on his team. Wade is on one of four players of Marquette to be drafted in the NBA.Wade was on the NBA-All Rookie Team and also finished third in the rookie of the year voting, for the players who had just came in to the league, and it was for some of the most outstanding players to come up and let there names be heard all over the league, like Kobe when he was a rookie .Wade w
as selected to be in the 2005 All Star Game. By the 2005-06 years he was known has the most prominent player. He finished the 2005–06 regular season averaging 27.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.95 steals per game.
In the 2006-07 seasons, Wade missed a total of 31 games due to injury. Wade had injured his shoulder blade and it was hard for him to play. The injury kind of made it hard for him to bounce back, but he found a way. He was elected to his third straight All-Star Game and received All NBA honors. He became the first guard to earn All-NBA honors after missing at least 31 games in a season since Pete Warravion of the New Orleans Jazz earned Second Team honors during the 1977-1978 season. Wade has now been the best player for Miami Heat since 1981. Wade is the most amazing player in America.
Wade is a very impressive player in I just had to do this project on him to really see what makes D-wade ticks. He is walking time bomb when it comes to basketball, you’ll never know when he will explode and you’ll never know what other records he’ll brake. To find that out you’ll
have to stay tuned to my writing and explore more with me.
