14. 2008 Olympics

He had already arrived, somewhat, winning a title already in his then young career. This Olympics run would serve to further his coming out party though. He led that team in scoring with 16 points per game, a team that included Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, LeBron James, and Chris Paul among other top NBA players.

He was also top five in rebounding, while tied for the lead in steals. This is also rumored to be where the conception of the Big 3 took place which means extra bonus points. The aforementioned reasons are why this is one of the greatest Flash moments of all time.

15. Set career game-high for 3’s

Dwyane Wade has been a lot of things, but a three-point shooter wasn’t one of them, at least until his final NBA season. That didn’t stop him from trying though.

In such Dwyane Wade fashion, he usually saved his best performances for the biggest moments. In a playoff matchup against the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the 2009 NBA playoffs, Dwyane Wade put on his best Steph Curry impersonation.

He scored 33 points while hitting six three balls, en route to 60 percent shooting from deep that game. In case your math is a bit rusty, that’s 6/10 from deep. Because of what it was, from who, and when he did it, this is why this is one of the greatest D-Wade moments.
