That's.not what the ratings says. Less people are enthusiastic about this soft AF league.These so called star's are not household names like in 80,90, and early to mid 2000s. Sorry
@@countertenorflor2107 this man son just had a medical emergency and could have died, you have no idea what is going in his life. Evict him from your head living rent free!!!
Same!!! Hearing about this dude when I was younger. Him growing up the next town over hearing his story back in the days then hearing Blue Island Wreck center shoot don’t get better than having one of your hometown heros so humbled calling on his family to stand and bringing pops on stage I had a tear to. We’ll deserve Hall Of Dame induction!!!! Congrats Wade u made the South Side of Chicago proud bro!!!
Man In all my years of watching the Hall of Fame, Dwayne Wade has is the first player i've seen speak so selflessly by talking about someone who inspired him so much like Iverson did and take the opportunity to end his speech the way he started it by bringing his dad up on stage was a beautiful thing to see.. It shows how important it is to have a father figure in one's life, and I swear the whole time I kept thinking it was Randy Moss..
can't hold back my tears as Dwayne delivers the most beautiful storytelling speech in the Basketball Hall of Fame! much respect and love for you Dwayne Wade. He never forgot to thank the iconic Chicago Bulls, especially the GOAT his AIRNESS, MICHAEL JORDAN!
@@Insane22szI'm sorry, but you surely wouldn't speak 30 minutes at that stage all at the moment. Simply you have to write some of those things because you would forget something, you definitely won't mention anyone that you like at that stage in that moment if you weren't prepared. You have to understand that it's not easy even to write all those things that Wade mentioned at this soeech. And if this speech isn't natural, than 95% of the speeches aren't natural. Tim Duncan's speech wasn't natural, Kobe's speeches weren't natural, Bosh's, Garnett's. None of those speeches were natural if we go in that way. And btw, even if Wade wrote all of that, he wrote that from heart😂
Since I ain't native speaker, I have had some issues to understand the last part of rhe speech, well, Wade Jr. Didn't get along with his father when he was younger or what? Thanks in advance.
So much respect to Wade and the class of 2023, one of the best to play the game. What a blessing to know his dad was by his side throughout his journey 🙏🏽💯❤️
Yeah, it's weird they don't talk or publish about it. I thought he was raised in a single parent family by his mother...so I was surprised by this and the impact his dad had on him. Good stuff!~
That was a great speech. He is a great man and father. He gave love to everyone that has been a big part of his success. He gave love to his wife and especially his mother and father. I love this young man.
@@JermaineLamarrCole2023 I see what you mean but it's still insane. It's like calling anyone other than Steph the best shooter ever even if they are top 5. The gap between number one and the rest is too big for it not to be a bad take to say anyone else. Point is, it's Jordan by a mile.
Eloquent…..absolutely beautiful speech with meaningful, wonderful tributes sprinkled throughout! I never thought I would cry from a HoF speech but this one is one for the books! Thank you Dwayne Tyrone Wade for sharing such inspirational words with all of us!
Those championship Heat teams were his. He was the best player of those Miami teams. His game and Kobe’s were the only games I can ever describe as “elegant” and “beautiful” in those years. Beautifully-written speech by the way.
Facts. You ain't lying.. Kobe was the only thing missing from this speech but it still managed to be perfect. Wade is my favorite player of all time and to see him go into the hall of Fame is something else
@@ge8198 wrong..Kobe was his biggest contemporary.dnt get me wrong there were plenty of times I thought wade is the best sg in the league hands down. But Kobe was his only rival in that battle for years. A simple head knod in kobes name is all I'm saying
I remember playing live 06 wit D Wade on the cover and he was a cheat code, crazy how time flies. I can’t front, seeing grey hairs in A.I. braids touched my heart. Peace to all the guys who made me love the game and congrats to Dwade
That was a real heartfelt wonderful speech and great tribute to all players, family, and friends that play the factor and contributed to him being the man he is today, great job D Wade.
i was 8 when i first heard of D-wade, i fell in love with the way he played and he became my idol growing up, my first essay i ever wrote was even on wade lol. i’m 28 now and it’s so cool to see him be inducted into the HOF. congrats flash ⚡️⚡️
Dwade...damn something about him made us all root for him regardless of whoever we rooted for. The Flash. your greatness was a beauty to watch...congrats Legend!
This , this right here , I'm a laker for life always has been , since kobe shaq era , but If my lakers got eliminated from the playoffs I always went with dwade and the heat so yeah my second favorite team has always been the heat since dwade got there , and since day 1 , I always liked him more then lebron and Melo
AI is top 5 all time when it comes to the impact on the culture, playstyle and on the heart of a generation.. Wade surpassed his idol in greatness on the court.. but AI doesn’t get enough love.. He and MJ are the reasons I and millions love the game of basketball..
Wow father and son duo. Dwyane you are greatest. The way you honored everyone and the best of all the way you honored your father. Father and son duo. I am happily in tears of joy. Your speech was priceless and forever in my heart.
The OG of Miami, Congrats D Wade, greatest heat player of all time 3 time NBA Champion 13 time all star, now hall of fame, congrats on your career my guy
What ge said ti his pops and how they ended it with " we made it to the Hall of Fame," and that laugh. Rhats was priceless. Salute to Wade and his family.
Incredible speech by Dwade! Love that he pulled his pops on stage and recognized him for what he had done for him to get to that point. Congrats Dwade, well deserved.
There is something about the NBA Hall Of Fame speeches they move me to my core and never disappoint...I love the memories I have from watching the NBA...the Humor...the Memories... The Jaw Dropping sky flying Excitement and the Emotions are priceless and it Feels Good....Glade I commented before Dwyane finished because I can't see a thing right now....what a great speech
Man I never cry but when he started talking about his dad, I couldn’t hold back the tears, what a great guy Dwayne is, very amazing career very humble and true competitor like Iverson dog on the court
Grew up a few blocks away from this cat. Glad to see a neighbor make the Hall. Congrats Wade u made south suburbs of the Chi proud my brother!!! Blue Island and Robins loves u bro!!! Only heard 3 basketball hall of fame speeches in my life. Michael Jordan Shaquille O’Neil and now Dwayne Wade. Good job DW well deserved bro!!!
What a beautiful speech. Love how he turned and gave props to Allen Iverson, that was special. Kavia took the show though, the way she saw herself and gave him some love, that was love. Respect to him for having everyone he has love for stand up. But the best one was his dad. Loved what he did at the end!
Always admired D Wade and how hard he played and after that speech now I admire him even more! I love that he gave AI his flowers and showed so many people in his life gratitude!
I would be hard pressed to find a better HOF speech and delivery - that was profound and impactful. What a leader who showcased the importance of fathers in households 😮
This. Ladies and Gentlemen is a masterclass in HOF Speeches, best speech of all time. Well done Mr. Wade, especially honoring your father at the end. 1 of my 5 favorite players ever!
😢😢😢😢 one of these most emotionally ceremony ever to hear him vocally speak about his mother and just seeing talk about his pop man made me cry like no other, yes it’s coming from a place that I know longer have a my mother and father and stepfather it’s a pain I can’t ever explain. Magnificent
I remembered watching him and the 2003 Marquette team in the regional rounds in Minneapolis. D-Wade completely stole the show and dominated. The triple double against Kentucky was one the greatest performance in NCAA tournament history.
Wow! D Wade got tears of me. What a speech; in quality, sequence, and organization. A speech full of connection and relationship. A speech that recognizes mentors, colleagues, friends, fans, coaches and front office controllers. A speech that set special space at the admirable sequence for the family members; sisters, children, the wife, the mother and the responsible father. Thank you Dwayne T Wade Jr. for setting this wonderful template. 👌
Great speech. It was a good acknowledged of friends, family, and all those who helped him succeed. I am glad AI got his flowers. Nice!! Well done Dwayne Wade!
Wade is my all time favorite player ever ...he and curry ...and what I appreciated the most..is most people always praise the moms the moms! Never the dads and he gave his that the ultimate glory and respect! Deep love
I gotta give DWade all d RESPECT I can. Lots of Hall of famers thank their parents, but NONE OF DEM has EVER brought any of their parents on stage to share d moment with dem. I SALUTE YOU DWADE. RESPECT
