Dwyane Wade

Year: 2004
Matchup: Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Hornets
Stat Line: 21 Points, 5 Rebounds, 5 Assists

Before Dwyane Wade became “Flash” or took 90-plus free throws in six games against the Dallas Mavericks during the 2006 NBA Finals (do I still sound bitter?!), he was merely a talented rookie that was overshadowed by the likes of fellow draft class members LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. However, it was Dwyane Wade making most of the headlines during the 2004 postseason as his first game consisted of a game-winning floater over Baron Davis and the New Orleans Hornets. Endorsed by Converse at the time, Dwyane Wade would make his playoff debut sporting the Converse Loaded Weapon PE.
