He played 16 years in the league and won three titles. He averaged 23.9 points per game in 29 Finals games, which is top 20 all-time, but of that top 20, he’s one of seven to win at least three NBA titles. He was named an NBA All-Star 13 times, All-NBA eight times and All-Defense three times. He’s Miami’s all-time leader in points, games played, assists and steals, and he helped Team USA to a gold medal in 2008 with the Redeem Team. He was so good in Miami that Dade County was dubbed “Wade County.” “For him to win a title in the way he did in his third year in the league, that was incredible,” Mitchell said. “To be 24 years old and to have the ability to manipulate the game like that, you just don’t see that often. He was able to accomplish so many things at a young age, so many different things.
