Miami Heat superstar Dwayne Wade put together one of the most spectacular seasons of any Heat player in franchise history. His stellar play led to his selection to the All-NBA first team. Joining Wade on the team were LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Dwight Howard.
Wade led the league in scoring, averaging 30.2 points per game for the 2008-09 season. He almost singled-handedly led the Heat into the playoffs, including several memorable performances where he scored more than 40 points per game for multiple games.
In addition to his points per game, Wade also dished out 7.5 assists per game and 5 rebounds per game. LeBron finished second in the league in scoring and led the Cavaliers to a 66-16 record during the regular season and his Cavaliers haven't lost a game so far in the NBA playoffs.
