Dwyane Wade Teammate Quotations

Hopefully, I can become a staple, like my teammate Shaq. I'm grateful that NBA fans think so highly of my game.

You try to bounce back and that's all I tried to do every time I had a bad game. I was just putting the effort forward for my teammates to make plays and make plays for myself. So I did a decent job of bouncing back.

If someone wears something you like, you make comments on it. And if someone wears something we don't like, we make comments on it, too. That's just what guys do, what teammates do. Besides that, we don't really compete in that space.

Well, it used to be Kobe Bryant...the second best all time...now, I have a new favorite player to play against...my former teammate, LeBron James.

The thing is, I don't do these things for recognition, being a good teammate, being a positive member of the community. I do them because those things make me whole and complete.

I put it on my shoulders at the end. I tried to make some plays. I went through a tough stretch but my teammates gave me confidence. ... At the end I was in a zone. I haven't been in one of those all year. It feels good to finally get one.

The first half I was looking for my teammates more than my shot, and in the third quarter I just decided to be more aggressive offensively.

The first few minutes were pretty rough on me. I actually told a couple of my teammates I wouldn't be out there for too long.

I had to pick my spots, more than anything, to get my teammates involved. Then, like Shaq and I always say, the fourth quarter is my time.

It's just getting the ball in your hands and making a play. I've got confidence in myself and my teammates have confidence to get me the ball.

I approached the game differently by coming out and focusing on getting my teammates the ball. That is something I want to continue to do. I want to open things up and get my teammates the ball. Then I can start looking for my offense.

I try to bounce back. That's all I try to do every time I have a bad game. I just put in the effort to try to make play for my teammates and make plays for myself. I did a decent job of bouncing back.
