Dwyane Wade is the greatest and most respected Miami Heat player of all time. He has definitely earned that respect, after having a spectacular and classy Hall-of-Fame career.

When he has something to say about basketball, it is nearly always worth listening to.

Dwyane Wade had plenty to say when he was a special guest for Dax Shepard’s podcast. The comment that sparked the most attention was what he said about everyone’s favorite NBA debate: the G.O.A.T. conversation.

Everyone has a different opinion about who they think the greatest basketball player of all time is and why, but Wade had a different perspective to share. On the podcast he predicted:

“We are not going to have a conversation about the GOATs. Now it’s going to be the younger, younger, younger generation. And they’re gonna forget about Jordan like we forget about Kareem.”

Is Dwyane Wade correct? Could the next generation really forget the legendary Michael Jordan as the titleholder of the greatest-of-all-time?
