As one of the quickest guards in the game, the only way to stay in front of Dwyane Wade is to play off him and hope to beat him to his spots. Naturally, this leaves defenders hypervulnerable to crossovers; combined with a high screen, it’s just unfair. Wade ruthlessly exploited this combination for multiple looks at the rim. Wade also has a masterful low dribble which he used to split traps repeatedly, the most spectacular of which was for a blown dunk.
