“All 3 different guys' games was something that I can reach” - Dwyane Wade says he’s modeled his game after Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson Comment Share Former NBA player Dwyane Wade Dwyane Wade had an outstanding NBA career and has revealed that he patterned his game after some of the greats, including Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
