Why do Filipinos like Dwayne Wade so much?

[DARKSEID]

I was playing around with terms on google trends and I checked Dwayne Wade's stats for the hell of it, and there's a significantly higher volume of dwayne wade searches in philippines than anywhere else, including Miami and America as a whole

I guess he's just a beast in general.. And Philippines is a huge basketball country.

Makes sense they would like a great player. But maybe there is a particular reason why he's searched more than other huge stars?

I went to Marquette while Dwayne Wade was there.

If google existed during the michael jordan era, then they'd need a higher y-axis scale to show he big he was among us pinoys.

That's why a good amount of them like the Heat. I think Wade falls in there because he's been in Miami since his start

[George Orwell]

he is considered extremely handsome over there

Pinoys knew who's the true leader of the team, not some outsider who ditch away after he got tired of it

Honestly anywhere in Asia. When I would tell people I was from Chicago people would immediately say "Michael Jordan". And then of course "Al Capone. Bang. Bang.

word, dwayne wade is a non entity compared to jordan's popularity even up to now and good you mention al capone, nobody knows who elliot ness is, it's all al capone and he's an effin scumbag who embraced the limelight during the prohibition era.
