Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade knows all about winning titles. 

He is a three-time NBA champion and has one Finals MVP trophy. So his opinion matters when describing great players. He did so during Sunday's Super Bowl by showing love for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. 

"If I was a QB I feel like I’ll be Jalen Hurts! I love the way he plays the game of football," Wade posted on Twitter. "I can’t wait to continue seeing more of these young quarterback matchups!!!

Wade was referring to Hurts' matchup against Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who led his team to a 38-35 victory. Both quarterback did not disappoint on the big stage. 

While dealing with an ankle injury, Mahomes completed 21 of 27 passes for 182 yards and three touchdowns. Hurts finished 27 of 38 for 304 yards and accounted for four touchdowns (three rushing). 

Wade also commented on this being the first time two black quarterbacks faced each other in the Super Bowl. He tweeted: "Two Black quarterbacks staring in the Super-Bowl is the flex but it being Black History month is a bigger flex! Let’s go!!!"
