Dwyane Wade

     Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr. not Dwayne Wade many people misspell his name. Dwyane Wade a top 5 shooting guard of all time born on January 17, 1982 in Illinois, Chicago 6"4 weighing at 220 pounds. As you know Dwyane wade plays the shooting guard position, he plays on the Miami Heat and has been playing on the same team his whole career and has won NBA championships. One was against the Mavericks in a 4-2 game series where he won finals MVP in 2006 then in 2012 they defeated OKC (Oklahoma City)Thunder where LeBron James won finals MVP then in 2013 they defeated the Spurs where LeBron won finals MVP again. Wade plays as number 3 which will be a retired number when Dwyane retires. He was drafted by the Heat in 2003 with the 5th pick and they got lucky because what a great player he turned out to be. Wade had a very hard time growing up because of the absence of his mother usually being in jail because of beer cocaine etcetera , she has been sober ever since 2003 whenever Wade was drafted.

Dwyane Wade is the Miami Heats all time leading scorer which means he scored the most points in Heat history. Wade has been in the all star game eleven times and won all star game MVP in 2010 ad he won NBA scoring champion in 2009. Wade used to be very good he could've been a top 10 player of all time the potential was there but he went through terrible injuries that slowed him down a bit. He could of had even more championships with LeBron and Chris bosh they was in the finals 4 years in a row they won 2 and lost 2 LeBron wasn't really playing great in 2011 against the Mavericks even though Wade stepped up that year still unfortunately they lost. Wade will no doubt be in the NBA Hall of Fame.

Magic johnson

Earvin "Magic" Johnson born on august 14,1959 in Lansing, Michigan  he is American and is 6"9.He Is the tallest and the considered the best point guard(I don't know because Oscar Robertson averaged a triple double) in NBA history. He was rafted in 1979 by the Los Angeles Lakers who won the championship the year before so I don't know how they got first pick, let's just say they got really lucky. Then he won a NBA championship the same year with the Lakers he also won his championship in high school and college. He played as number 32 which was retired by the Lakers when Magic retired his third time yes that sounds crazy but he retired 3 times. He averaged the most assists in his whole career at 11.2 more then anybody who played as much seasons as he did at 13.Magic Johnson was established into the hall of fame in 2002 then in 2010 as a member of the dream team which only a few people made it such as Michael Jordan and Larry bird(people ay those are the best three players in NBA history.

In 1991 people where sad at the news Magic told them that he was retiring because he had HIV. Then he returned and played in the 1992 all star game then retired again then came back in 1996 to play because the Lakers where playing terrible then he retired after playing 32 games since he really wasn't making a difference. He has five Champion ships 1980,1982,1985.1987,1988 he won finals MVP three times 1980,his rookie year which is amazing,1982,1987. He won regular season MVP 3 times 1987,1989 and 1990.He was in the all star game 12 times and won the all star game award two times.

Hakeem Olajuwon

Hakeem Olajuwon a top five center in NBA history alongside Kareem-Abdul Jabbar,shaquille O'Neal,Wilt Chamberlain and so many other great center's.As you can tell Hakeem "the dream" Olajuwon(his nick name)was a center born on January 21st 1963 in Nigeria he is seven feet tall.He played in the NBA for 19 years 1984-2003 he was drafted by the Rockets in 1984 with the first pick then he signed with the raptors in 2001 and retired in 2003.His number was retired by the Rockets, that means he was a one of a kind player on their team so when somebody's number is retired that means they was a GREAT player.He was inducted into the hall of fame in 2008.Olajuwon is the only player in NBA history to win Finals MVP,NBA MVP and defensive player of the year in one season.

Olajuwon was nicknamed the dream because of his great on court and off court personality(it kinda means like u would want to dream to be like him).He had a great story winning his championships he defeated the New York Knicks two years in a row 1994-1995 the story is that the Knicks all star was Patrick ewing another all time great center and he defeated Hakeem and his team in college then Hakeem seeked revenge and beat him and his team those two years and finally got his revenge and some sweet NBA championships along with it.He won finals MVP both of those years he also won regular season MVP in 1994 his only MVP title.He was a twelve time NBA all star.He has the most blocks in NBA history with three blocking titles and two rebounding titles(most blocks and rebounds in the regular season),also the rockets all time leading scorer with 26,946 points,3,680 blocks and 13,747 rebounds.

Kareem-Abdul Jabbar

Kareem-Abdul Jabbar arguably the best center in NBA history. He was born 1947,April 16.Kareem was drafted 1st in the 1969 draft by the Milwaukee Bucks,he played with them for 6 years then got traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1975(I don't know why the Bucks would trade such a great player like Kareem).He played as number 33 which was later retired by both teams,he played 1,560 games his whole career.He is a 6 time NBA champion,one with The bucks and the other five with the Lakers.He was basically the creator of the skyhook shot that he used all the time I would say he scored atleast 12,500 points from using that shot.He has blocked 3,189 shots and he has 38,387 career points along with 9,379 defensive rebounds.He I certainly a top 7 player of all time no questions asked definitely a the best center of all time.

Now talking about his rewards like we usually do on my blogs, he is a 6 time NBA champion he won finals MVP twice one with the Bucks and obviously one with the Lakers in 1985.He won MVP six times 1970-1977,1979-1989 he was in the starting lineup 10 times after that h was a bench all star player which is still good.He was a 4 time NBA block champion(averaging the most blocks in the regular season).Also a two time scoring title holder same thing as block title but jut who averages the most POINTS.He also won rookie of the year in 1970,and he won rebounding title same thing as the others but with rebounds.He is the bucks all time leading scorer and the lakers and the NBA's all time leading scorer that's a HUGE accomplishment.
