Dwyane Wade has sent the NBA fraternity into a frenzy with his insane 3 point buzzer beater game winner agains the reigning NBA champions.
And what more, he did it on one leg.
Miami Heat put up a great show agains the Warriors today, with the Heat matching the champions play for play and maintaining that intensity all through.
In the dying seconds of the game, Wade had the ball in hand, with the Heat being two points adrift the Warriors.
The Miami man tried to drive to the rim, but was cut off immediately and ended up brining the ball outside the 3 point line, before handing it over to Dion Waiters.
Dion Waiters couldn’t attempt that 3 point shot and handed it back to Wade, who threw up the shot, off balance(on one foot) and banked it on for the win.

This was Wade’s first buzzer beater game winner of his career(at a time when his team was trailing and he was ecstatic about it).
“I’ve been in this position so many times, and so many times you don’t make the shot. And the one I make is the one I flicked from my chest, it’s crazy,” Wade said after the game.
“It’s great to do it in front of fans. It’s a fun moment.” he added.
Wade is in his last season as an NBA player and the entire NBA community is trying to absorb one last stretch from one of the greatest ever NBA players.
Draymond Green had some very kind words to say about D-Wade and how an entire generation does not quite know how good D-Wade was.
But he was happy that Wade was able to retire on his own terms, and have some fun in his last few games.
“With a great player like D-Wade, there’s so many times you see guys limp out [of the league],” Warriors forward Draymond Green said.
“When Kobe hit that game winner on me in LA…off the glass from the top of the key I said how is that possible? Thank you for showing me the way. Mamba Mentality.” – @DwyaneWade pic.twitter.com/bG9WM50rcB

“There’s a generation of kids that don’t know how good D-Wade was. So that generation would catch him typically D-Wade limping out and not understand how good he is.
“I think now, everybody is just getting a chance to see D-Wade. Obviously he’s not the D-Wade of 2006, but he’s still a damn good basketball player. It’s exciting to see him playing as well as he is and wanting to walk out of this game on his own terms.” he added.
This is how NBA players reacted to that insanity from Dwayne Wade.
