In the last few days, NBA 2K has been steadily releasing the ratings for many of the players in the upcoming NBA 2K18 video game that is set to be released in mid-September.
One of the latest features that have been announced has been all-time teams for several different franchises. In light of that, Dwyane Wade unveiled both his and Shaquille O'Neal's rating for the all-time Heat team.

Wade spent the first 13 years of his career with the Heat where he accomplished plenty at both an individual and team level. He helped lead the organization to its first three championships while also becoming the all-time leader in points and assists. During that stretch, he earned 12 All-Star Game selections, eight All-NBA team nods, and three All-Defense team selections.
His career averages with the Heat currently sit at 23.8 points with 5.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.7 steals. This should put Wade as the highest-rated player on the all-time team unless LeBron James is possibly included on the roster as he could boast a similar if not better overall rating.
Meanwhile, O'Neal played in 3 1/2 seasons with the Heat where he averaged 19.6 points on 59.6 percent shooting from the field with 9.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. During this span, he helped the Heat win their first NBA title while putting up a near MVP season where he narrowly lost out to former Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash. O'Neal may have had a short tenure with the team, but he made a tremendous impact while also still playing at a high level.
What should be interesting to see is the other members of the all-time team that could include James, Tim Hardaway, Alonzo Mourning, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Glen Rice,and Steve Smith.
