Dwyane Wade's NBA career may be over, but he's still out there teaching and passing on knowledge to the younger generation. Evan Sidery of Forbes and Bright Side Of The Sun shared a video of the three-time NBA champion teaching some of his tricks to Phoenix Suns rising star Devin Booker:
When Dwyane Wade gifted Devin Booker one of his game worn jerseys after they played last season, he wrote the following quote on it: "Anything you need I'm here. Keep going & keep working."

It looks like Wade is giving the 22-year old some tips in the post. Suns fans have to be thrilled with this footage.
Wade is one of the best ever at the shooting guard position. Booker, on the other hand, is becoming one of the most exciting 2-guards in the league today. However, as good as Booker is already at his age, he still has plenty of room to grow.
Devin Booker just had a career year by averaging a career-best 26.6 points on 46.7 percent shooting. However, his elite production didn't have much of an effect on the Suns, as they were still one of the worst teams in the league. In fact, Phoenix finished with the worst record in the Western Conference for the third season in a row.
If there's anything Booker should absorb from Wade, it should be on how to play winning basketball. The 6-foot-6 guard's high point production often comes across as empty stats that haven't translated into wins.
Nevertheless, the blame should not really fall on Booker's shoulders. It isn't his fault the organization is a mess.
The Suns, however, made some changes this offseason, signing head coach Monty Williams to a five-year deal. Williams is a well-respected coach in the league and should be able to tap into a level of Booker's game we haven't seen before.
