Dwayne Wade is one of the surprise selections for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game. This is the 11th time Wade has been selected to be an all-star during his career. Wade is one of the leagues best spokesman. His wholesome style has been great for the NBA'S image since he entered the league in 2003.
Wade ' s selection as a reserve could be based more on career accomplishments than his overall performance this season. Miami currently has a record of 20-25. The Heat have taken a step back since LeBron James' s departure. Miami will probably be an easy first-round out come playoff time.
Wade is likely a first ballot Hall-of-Fame selection once his playing days are officially over. One more all-star selection isn't necessary to bolster his Hall-of-Fame resume. Three NBA Championships, an NBA Finals MVP award and one of the greatest performances in NBA Finals history is saying enough.
Wade was nearly selected as a starter by the fans. Fan voting has never been a great indicator of whose playing well in the league. Fan voting is more like a popularity contest by one sided voters. The league still hasn't gotten the memo on that topic.
Wade will probably use the all-star break to rest his aging body. At this stage of his career, Wade needs all the rest he can get heading into the stretch run. Despite having a losing record, Miami still has a great shot at returning to the playoffs due to a weak Eastern Conference.
Brandin knight and Kyle Korver have a legitimate beef over this selection. Milwaukee is right above 500. despite losing rookie sensation Jabari Parker for the season. Atlanta is the hottest team in the league and Korver has been shooting lights out this season.
