Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer believes people tend to overlook what Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade has done on the defensive end of the court during his legendary NBA career.
Dwyane Wade enters Tuesday with 865 career blocks. That's the second most in league history for a guard. Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan is first with 893.
Wade also has 1,582 steals on his Hall of Fame résumé. Everyone knows D-Wade is one of the best scorers of all-time, but Mike Budenholzer says people should also appreciate what Flash has done on defense, indicating he's a complete basketball player.
Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer, talking about how Wade has been "great for our sport" says what's overlooked sometimes is it's "amazing some things he does defensively" in career.

In his final season in the NBA, Dwyane Wade is showing he is still a very productive player. The Chicago native is averaging 13.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game for Miami as a reserve while shooting 41.9 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 67.9 percent from the free-throw line.
The Bucks take on Dwayne Wade and the Heat on Tuesday. Mike Budenholzer has to be hoping that Wade doesn't have one of his signature performances on both ends of the floor, otherwise it's going to be a long night for Milwaukee.
The Heat enter this matchup with a record of 21-20, while the Bucks are 30-12.
