    "<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I've always been a pretty decent (3-point) shooter, but I never had confidence in myself," Wade said. "Now, I have that confidence because I work on it a lot. If people continue to give it to me, I'll continue to step in. ... It can become a weapon in my career."</div>Stats prove otherwise. He has a .171 percentage from 3 this year. But maybe he will pull a Jordan and improve his 3 point shooting later on in his careeer, Thoughts?

    He's a bad three point shooter. You can't tell me when you shoot below 20% from 3pt that you are even decent..that was the worst in the NBA I thought for guards who started?

    How could he have been pretty good this whole time without shooting alot of threes. I remember at the beginning of the year when his percentage all time was lower than Ben Wallace's.

    In the playoffs he has been quite good,in the regular season he doesn't take that many but I expect him to drastically improve next year on his overall shooting.

    When you shoot 17% from three, you barely take any, and you don't have confidence in yourself to make them, you are probably not a good three point shooter. Hell, DWade isn't even a good 20 foot jumpshooter

    He's 4-4 for wide open threes in the series and he had one crazy 3 that was pure luckA below average college SG would have made those 3s, there was nobody within 10 ft of any of them

    In the regular season, he didn't do good, but he has faired well in the postseason.

    Wade's jumpshot has been beyond great in the playoffs,he has been nailing the 20 footers with ease.This looks like a good sign for him since thats one of the aspects he should work on in the offseason.

    Dwyane is a good shooter, so dont tell me he is that bad from stepping out, what? 10 feet further? If he really worked on it, he could be decent.

    Wade is a good mid-range shooter. But he has trouble from the perimeter, but if he focuses on that part of his game and gets better at it, then you have an amazing player. I think he will become a better shooter from the outside.

    Lately Wade has really impressed me though. He's hitting shots a step or two in from the 3pt line easily and if he works on his game he can become a huge weapon, easily a 30 ppg scorer if he wanted.

    I think Wade is an excellent 3 point shooter, the only thing is, he only shoots it when absolutely necessary. About the 17%, this means that he has shot very little from this range and not enough to raise the percentage. If he shot 3's like crazy, he'd probably avg. 38-42%.
