With just more than a month of regular-season games remaining in Dwyane Wade’s NBA career, he’s done chasing records. Except for one.
Wade, who is often mentioned with Kobe Bryant and Jerry West as the NBA’s best shooting guards in history behind Michael Jordan, is on the verge of surpassing Jordan for most blocked shots in a career by a guard.
Entering Monday’s game against the Hawks, Wade is one block from tying Jordan in career blocks (including the regular season and playoffs). Wade has totaled 1,050 blocks (875 in the regular season and 175 in the postseason) in his career, and Jordan finished with 1,051 blocks (893 in the regular season and 158 in the postseason).
