Dwayne Wade

Dwyane Tyrone Wade, Jr. (born January 17, 1982) nicknamed Flash or D-Wade, is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat. Awarded 2006 Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated, Wade has established himself as one of the most well-known and popular players in the league. He had the top selling jersey in the NBA for nearly two years, as he led the NBA in jersey sales from the 2005 NBA playoffs, until the mid-point of the 2006–07 season.

After entering the league as the fifth pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, Wade was named to the All-Rookie team and the All-Star team the following seven seasons. In his third season, Wade helped lead the Miami Heat to their first NBA Championship in franchise history. He was named the 2006 NBA Finals MVP as he helped lead the Heat to a 4–2 series win over the Dallas Mavericks. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Wade led the United States Men's Basketball team, commonly known as the "Redeem Team", in scoring, as they captured gold medal honors in Beijing, China. In the 2008–09 season, Wade led the league in scoring and earned his first NBA scoring title.

A lot of people don't realize how good Dwayne Wade really is. Not only did he do something with Shaq that Lebron couldn't (cough, cough), but he was the leading scorer in the playoffs last year as well. Dwayne Wade's Heat last year were absolutely awful (a lot worse than what Lebron was given in Cleveland) and he still brought them to the playoffs. His performances over the last 2 years have proved that he is back to his performing level that he had in 2006. Wade's performance during that NBA Championship series may have been the best performance from a single player int he history of the game (even Jordan). D-Wade is the real deal and have we forgotten that South Beach is still Wade's team? After all, it hasn't been renamed around the streets from Dade to Wade county for no reason.
