Wade breaks Jordan's record for most career blocks by a guard

Miami, March 5: Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade has broken one of Michael Jordan's records.

Wade, who is in his final NBA season, reached 1,052 blocks for his career with a first-quarter rejection against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday (March 4), giving him the most blocks by a guard in league history.
