Gabrielle Union’s hubby, Dwayne Wade makes NBA history.
American professional basketballer Dwyane Wade now has more blocked shots than any guard in NBA history.
According to Associated Press, the 37-year-old Miami Heat star swatted away the 1,052nd shot of his career Monday night, blocking an attempt by Atlanta’s B.J. Johnson. When factoring in regular-season and playoff games, that’s one more block than the great Michael Jordan had in his career.
Dwayne’s wife and award-winning actress Gabrielle Union, 46, posted a short lovely message to her hubby on her insta-stories saying “So proud of my baby.” While the 6 ft 4 baller who is close to retiring posted on his Instagram timeline said that the new block record means something to him.

Jordan who got six NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards during his career, still has the all-time regular season record for blocks by a guard with 893. Wade’s two first-half blocks against the Hawks gave him 877.
Johnson became the 449th player to get a shot blocked by Wade. Joe Johnson and Ben Gordon have been blocked by Wade the most, 12 times each.
Wade who is a father of four is also the 10th-highest-scoring NBA player by total career playoff points scored (3,954).
