Dwyane said that superteams are actually good for the league. He said despite many people dislike superteam like his old Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors, but people watch their games.

He made the declaration during the post-practice media session, according to ESPN. In 20 minutes he talked about various topics including the free agency. He said that although there are many people dislike the Warriors and Kevin Durant, but they will tune it to watch and expect them to fail.

"Our game is growing. Eyes are on our game," he said. "And at the end of the day, me as a player, I just love the fact that players have the ability to control their own destiny.'

However, Wade's opinion may not represent the majority of the people according to FOX Sports. As there are so many players criticized Durant's decision to join the Warriors which has already been a powerful team.

Wade was in the similar situation with Warriors in Miami Heat. He received two star players joined the Heat in 2010, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Prior to their arrival, Wade was already a champion in 2006 with the Heat.

Together with Bosh and James, Wade formed what the media dubbed as "The Big Three" in Miami Heat. They brought the Heat the back-to-back championship in 2012 and 2013, and for four consecutive years Miami Heat advanced to NBA Finals. Therefore, Wade has experienced the benefit of superteams to attract more people to watch NBA.

Heat drafted Wade in 2003 and for 13 years straight he played for Miami Heat. During the 2006 championship title, Wade also played with supposedly a superteam. The 2006 Miami Heat championship team were powered with two veteran center Shaquille O'Neal and Alono 'Zeke' Mourning and also veteran point guard Gary Payton.

During his 13 careers in the Heat, Wade has played 855 games for Miami Heat. As a shooting guard, he averaged 16.5 points, 4.6 assists and 2.5 steals per game. Watch Dwyane Wade Top 10 plays in his entire career below:
