D-Wade's great comeback

In 2006, Dwayne Wade owned the NBA Finals. The Heat played the Mavericks, and the Mavericks won the first two games. D-Wade made sure that the Mavs didn't win another game. He scored 42 points game 3, 36 points in game 4, and 43 points in game 5. The Heat won all three games and then won game 6 to end the series. Wade was the series MVP and everyone expected him to be a league MVP candidate for every year after that.

It didn't work out that way. Wade missed 31 games during the 2006-2007 season and almost all of the second half last season. His stats and his production went down dramatically. We were all wondering where the D-Wade of 2006 was.

We've found him in China. In this Beijing Olympics, he is the leading scorer on the US team coming off the bench behind Kobe. In 18 minutes per game, he is averaging 17 points! Also, he is shooting 73% from the field with some additional sensational dunks to hype up the crowd. What else can I say? When everyone just about forgot about him, he has come up huge and helped our country dominate the Olympic Games. He also has gained a wider fan-base!

Way to go Dwayne!
