This was my first time watchig. Dwyane Wade, watched it live and I just remember how I instantly became a fan of his after his performance. I was about 12 years old at the time and have followed his career to this day. Thanks for the memories Flash, basketball won’t be the same without you...
16 years later and now he is retiring. He has been an absolute legend for my entire time watching basketball, sad to see him go. At least he went out with a bang.
One of the 5 best NCAA tournament performances ever. That Marquette team should have won the whole thing. Crean didn't have them prepared in the Final Four.
As a UK fan that was 4 years old when laettner happened, this was the most devastating loss of my lifetime. I fucking bawled like a baby. Why did I just watch this again?
As a UK fan, this was the biggest heartbreak I ever suffered and the most impressive game I’ve ever seen from an opposing player in the ncaa tournament. D wade could not be stopped. It makes it sting less now after he became a top 20 all time nba player. At least it wasn’t just some random dude that ended our season. That 03 UK team was no joke, it was tubbys best team at UK and they went undefeated in the SEC and were on a 26 game winning streak. But our best defender Keith Bogans hurt his ankle against Wisconsin in the game before this, not sure it would have really mattered but we didn’t have anyone else quick enough to stay even close to wade as you see in this video. Bogans could have at least slowed him down a little had he not been playing on one ankle. Either way, hats off to Marquette for a perfect game plan in this game. go big blue!
this was a glimpse of what's to come for D-wade in the nba. You can tell how much of an impact he had on both the offense and defense, making crucial blocks.
I mean even undersized height wise, hes always outweighed most guards by 15 lbs or so. Jes always been between 220 and 230. His strength. athleticism. and wingspan rendered his slightly below average height null and void. Lol Dude was a tank his prime.
I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin which where Marquette is. Watched his whole career. The things he's doing here, doing his whole college career. Seen it coming. I'm Wisconsin Lonnie and I approve this message ™
Carlos Perez yeah you're right. Early Wade resembled early Jordan and this video is an excellent example of it. Kobe's game resembled later Jordan when he was less of a slasher and more of a mid range player.
I remember being a young man, like 20 and not even following college ball (still don't, die hard NBA), and I kept hearing about this kid whose name was spelled wrong. When he started killing dudes in the tourney with "no jumpshot" everyone was wondering who he was. We didn't really find out until 2006.
Travis Diener.... one of the all time great high school basketball players from Wisconsin... watched him when he was playing for Fond du Lac with his brother. That team had some epic battles vs Oshkosh West and Oshkosh North. Couldn't stand him being from Oshkosh myself... but became a huge fan once he went to Marquette... his jumper was money...
I cant believe he was picked 5th. After this performance scouts should have known that this guy is going to be special. No offense to Bosh or Melo who were picked ahead him but Wade obviously should have been the 2nd pick of the draft. I know some of you will argue Carmelo but I would rather have Wade since he is a better playmaker and defender and his playstyle translates to winning more at the NBA level more than Carmelo did.
That was one of the craziest draft classes in recent memory. Wade went 4th behind LBJ, Bosh & Melo. I agree though. I think the tourney is where you really find out who’s gonna shine on the biggest stage.
After I saw this game. And Miami drafted him. I knew what who we GOT. HEGOTGAME# BEST,Heat #1 pick. That we'll ever HAVE. WAYDECOUNTYBABY# 305# #3 3HEATCHAMPIONSHIPS#
Except for a better Kansas team! Kirk Heinich, who later played twelve years in NBA and in his prime was all-defensive team a number of times, guarded Wade and stopped him from having the type game he had against Kentucky. Kansas won something like 103-69 . . . Marquette was never in the game.
dwayne wade was only SEMI elite because he didn't face legends like jerry west larry bird magic johnson michael jordan kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson wilt chamberlain and bill russell
Dwade.. An all around player, scoring, passing, blocks, steals just suffocating defense.. Jordan like.. Amazing.. Just amazing
This was my first time watchig. Dwyane Wade, watched it live and I just remember how I instantly became a fan of his after his performance. I was about 12 years old at the time and have followed his career to this day. Thanks for the memories Flash, basketball won’t be the same without you...
And just three years later this man won an nba championship. Pure greatness
would have been two years later if he didn’t get injured against detroit.
One of the all time greatest NCAA tournament performances... wow.
Easy...
16 years later and now he is retiring. He has been an absolute legend for my entire time watching basketball, sad to see him go. At least he went out with a bang.
Bill Raftery makes this even better. I remember watching this live and seeing Wade destroy Kentucky. What a game!
Dwayne Wade was a marvelous college player!But he became a Superstar with the Heat.Travis Deiner was a perfect running mate for Wade in college.
One of the 5 best NCAA tournament performances ever. That Marquette team should have won the whole thing. Crean didn't have them prepared in the Final Four.
These announcers are great
Who here after D Wade retirement speech

I'm from Milwaukee but we have a point guard who is putting up numbers that Dwayne wade did

In spite of his height as a 6' 4 shooting guard. My no.1 idol Dwyane Wade
I mean even undersized height wise, hes always outweighed most guards by 15 lbs or so. Jes always been between 220 and 230. His strength. athleticism. and wingspan rendered his slightly below average height null and void. Lol Dude was a tank his prime.
He’s honestly looked taller and bigger than most 6’ 4 guards.
@@eanlum8220 cause he was always in between 215 and 230. He was built more like a 3 than a 2.
@UCdMPfqX9kLbc9zB8uvpzxKQ nah alot hes been said to be shorter. Hes more 6 ft 3 and 1/2. The NBA often adds an inch or too to players heights.
He was one of the best college players in history
i watch this today because his jersey number 3 is retiring in heat today. my 1st nba idol now im loving ja morant
I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin which where Marquette is. Watched his whole career. The things he's doing here, doing his whole college career. Seen it coming. I'm Wisconsin Lonnie and I approve this message ™
Thank you Lonnie. Back to you john

@@antagonist7924 Just saw OKC and Bucks live. First time in the Fiserv. Both teams on pyro right now 🔥💪🏾
Closes thing to MJ.
zeebuggy that would be Kobe.
Carlos Perez yeah you're right. Early Wade resembled early Jordan and this video is an excellent example of it. Kobe's game resembled later Jordan when he was less of a slasher and more of a mid range player.
That's absolutely true !!!! D.Wade the legend
agree
Agree, early on, I can see that
I remember being a young man, like 20 and not even following college ball (still don't, die hard NBA), and I kept hearing about this kid whose name was spelled wrong. When he started killing dudes in the tourney with "no jumpshot" everyone was wondering who he was. We didn't really find out until 2006.

kid has high ceiling
This is when everyone was put on notice. Wade's coming out party. The rest is history
Who is here from Wade's jersey retirement?
Wade probably searched his highlights numbers here for his speech. 😂👍
Yup
After I saw this game. And Miami drafted him. I knew what who we GOT. HEGOTGAME# BEST,Heat #1 pick. That we'll ever HAVE. WAYDECOUNTYBABY# 305# #3 3HEATCHAMPIONSHIPS#
Dude out there looking like he just emulating what Jordan would do then do it lol
Dwayne wade had 29pts 11 rebs 11asst
bungeegums and 4 blocks
I remember watching 👀 and thinking dwade #1 pick...but that year LeBron..Melo...Bosh
Put dwades mind in this body 😂😂😂
They probably didn't mention Bogans was injured.
The apogee of D Wade’s college career
Wade destroyed them.
Jesus Christ died for our sins and promises us eternal life. He died, then rose from the grave in 3 days. He is The Son of God. The God of Israel.
Serious hops DW
4:58 The "FLASH" start here not when Shaq name it
We could have really saw melo and D wade in the championship game🤦🏾♂️
Except for a better Kansas team! Kirk Heinich, who later played twelve years in NBA and in his prime was all-defensive team a number of times, guarded Wade and stopped him from having the type game he had against Kentucky. Kansas won something like 103-69 . . . Marquette was never in the game.
dwayne wade was only SEMI elite because he didn't face legends like jerry west larry bird magic johnson michael jordan kareem abdul-jabbar oscar robertson wilt chamberlain and bill russell
3:38 lol

russellbr8k I’m a heat fan and I’m pissed that we drafted him. That kid Darko is going to he AMAZING
