Dwayne Wade. He not only hit the shot that took Game 5 of the NBA Finals to overtime, but he also ices the victory with 2 foul shots with 1 second left. This guy is out-of-this world amazing. I remember watching him in the NCAA tournament when he was with Marquette. He was fun to watch then. I definitely didn’t peg him for the next superstar though. It seemed like he wasn’t flashy enough. He didn’t talk trash, he was a team player both things not typical of the NBA superstar. But it looks like with his performances in this year’s Finals (dropping 28, 23, 42, 36 and 43 points respectively), he’s solidified his place as an ‘A List’ superstar in the NBA. I couldn’t be happier to see it. A guy who is humble, a team-player, and a quiet leader stepping up to lead his team to a 3-2 lead over Dallas.
