Hall Of Fame Inductee Dwyane Wade Calls Michael Jordan His G.O.A.T

Even though he played with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade says Michael Jordan is the best NBA player ever

Dwyane Wade spent four seasons playing alongside LeBron James for the Miami Heat. 

They won two championships in four straight trips to the NBA Finals. James is the best teammate Wade has ever played with. Still, he is not the greatest in Wade's eyes. 

During a recent interview with Yahoo! Sports, Wade gave his take on the NBA's G.O.A.T (greatest of all-time) debate. He chose Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan, who is on the top of most fan and player lists. 

"My G.O.A.T has always been Michael Jordan," Wade said "... Look at the way I played. I played a lot like (Jordan). I tried to emulate Michael Jordan." 

A Chicago native, Wade grew up watching Jordan play for the Bulls. He would later have an admiration for Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant and James but neither compared to Jordan.
