Miami Heat: Flash reminds you about his dominant 2008-09 season

Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade had one of the greatest seasons ever across 2008-09. He’s here to remind you in case you had forgotten.

While you may not like the Miami Heat, you can never accuse them of being dated or out of touch. The same thing can be said for a Miami Heat and NBA legend in Dwyane Wade.

In 2019’s society, we oftentimes get caught up with the latest, greatest, or newest trend out there. With it being heavily associated with a phenomenon known as FOMO or “fear of missing out”, we often like to make the latest or most recent great thing or accomplishment, “the best ever”. It’s safe to say that Flash is aware of this phenomenon as well.

This was the original post from a twitter user and apparent Miami Heat fan. The actual post contains a video montage of highlights from Dwyane Wade’s phenomenal 2008-09 season. Here is what WoW had to say, via a retweet of his own.

It really is “3”, it really is. If you take a peep at the montage, Wade gave the people everything they could ever ask for on the basketball court that year. It displayed the dunks, the assists, the blocks, the big shots, everything. This was pretty much indicative of what he was able to do on the court that entire season.

He averaged 30.2 points per game on his way to winning the NBA Scoring Title, an All-Star appearance, a first-team All-NBA selection, and a second-team All-NBA Defensive team selection that season. He also threw in 5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 2.2 steals, and 1.3 blocks that season to tie it all together. He did this while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor overall, 31.7 percent from three which was his second-highest three-point shooting percentage for a season over the course of his career, and an effective field goal percentage of 51.6 percent.

Although the Miami Heat would lose in the first round of the playoffs that year to the Atlanta Hawks, Dwyane Wade continued to be electric while doing all he could to nudge his team along. He averaged 29.1 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.6 blocks during that lone playoff series.

Plain and simple, this was a vintage D-Wade year. We didn’t forget, even though some apparently did. This is the “amnesia” that Flash was speaking about.
