14. Dwayne Wade
Regardless of the former’s greatness, let the record show that LeBron James failed to win an NBA title until he joined forces with Dwayne Wade, on the Miami Heat. The 5th overall pick in the vaunted 2003 NBA Draft, Wade is a three-time NBA champion, winning his first championship in 2005 — when he became the fifth-youngest player in NBA history to capture the NBA Finals MVP award, scoring 34.7 points in the Finals (the third-highest total for players in their first NBA Finals).
After his illustrious career came to a close in 2019, Wade ranked in the top 50 all time in points, assists, steals, free throws, and win shares, with a career average of 22 points per game. The “Flash’s” ability to slash to the rim and finish with the best of them earned him a spot in the conversation for greatest shooting guards of all time.
