Pat Riley says Dwyane Wade’s “definitely” the greatest player in Miami HEAT history:
“He came in as a rookie — he was raw. He was great, gifted, talented, cocky, sure of himself. I never saw a young man work harder than Dwyane Wade to become one of the greatest players ever. Definitely the greatest player in the history of the Miami Heat.
During the Finals in 2006, I started sending him texts that said ‘BIW.’ He texted back ‘?’ I told him — Best In the World....he averaged almost 40 a game during that series against Dallas…Dwyane, thank you.”
