Contest: Favorite DWade Playoff Moment?

Post a memory and win a new T-Mobile Sidekick 4G.

Dwyane Wade has done it all. He’s led his college team to the Final Four, was an NBA lottery selection, and won an NBA championship. After a monster Eastern Conference Semifinals, DWade’s next challenge is bringing down the Chicago Bulls, who are coming with a full head of steam. While his team begins to prepare for a heated battle with Derrick Rose and Co., one of Wade’s partners—T-Molbile—is also ‘advancing’ to the next round.

T-Mobile recently released the Sidekick 4G™ by Samsung. The new Android™-powered smartphone pays tribute to its heritage with its stylish good looks and a killer keyboard while redefining messaging and upgrading to 4G speeds. We’ll be giving one away here on SLAMonline. To win, all you need to do is post your favorite DWade NBA Playoff moment in the comments section. It can be as brief or as lengthy as desired.

Say goodbye to your old flip phone and get with the new Sidekick. It’s on the house.

    My favorite moment is each time he steps on the floor.

  • Deuane

    His playoff series when he dunked over. Jermaine O’neal and Shaq gave him his nickname “Flash”

  • mo

    Best moment ever is rookie dwade’s 3-pt shot against baron davis in 2004 playoffs to lead heat past hornets. Strong second: soring 19 pts str8 vs pistons in 2006 playoffs

  • Nathan To

    The best D-Wade moment of the playoffs has to be when he comes back with the flu after two devastating losses in the first two games of the 2006 finals, scoring 42 points and giving momentum to the heat which would result in a 4 game win streak, making the heat the 2006 world champions!

  • James

    My favorite? When Dwade and the Miami Heats win the 2011 NBA Playoffs this year.

  • andre powell

    Definately the mavs series in 2006. That come back was epic

  • Taranvir

    My favourite Dwayne Wade moment was in the 2006 playoff finals when Dwayne Wade perservered throughout the series. He saw what he had to get, and he didn’t give up in the end. This is true character and dedication.

  • Summer

    When before he became popular, Wade had game winning point vs Charlotte in 2004 Playoffs.

  • Li

    my favorite dwade playoff moment was when he took over the series against Dallas in the 2006 NBA Finals. Even though Dallas was probably the better team, dwade was unstoppable and wound up winning the Finals MVP

  • William

    Favorite shot was during Eastern conference finals 2006 game 3 against Pistons. Wade got a pass from Payton and made an impossible shot against McDyess and company. It was a thing of beauty in terms of aesthetics, raw power, athletitism, control, hang time and difficulty. I was there for that game and the picture still hangs in my office. Quintassential Wade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyx7YpyWgVs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

  • gamafree

    D-Wade’s no look shot in game 5 versus the Celtics.

  • Keenan

    My favorite D-wade playoff moment is his domination of dallas in game 4 of the 2006 playoffs that lead to an eventual championship. He controlled that series after losing the first 2.

  • Damian

    DWade taking ova in Gm 4 vs. Boston

  • Sven

    44 points against Washington in 2005

  • Howard

    My favorite Dwayne Wade moment was when he led the Redeem Team to victory (not Lebron) as the top scorer. This was special because I remember all the doubters saying: “he’s done. He’s had too many surgeries. He’ll never be the same.” D3 proved them wrong with a gold medal

  • Josh

    My favorite DWade playoff memory is in the Finals against the Mavs. I know he had the flashy dunks against just about everybody, the flip over the shoulder against the Pistons, but this was the biggest moment of his basketball career, and he came through. It was game 3, 61-60 for the Mavs, and Wade had the ball at the top of the 3 point line. He went left, spun back to his right arond Stackhouse and finished the lay-up at the rim around 3 defenders and got the foul. Incredible play on the biggest stage.

  • Tommy Rodriguez

    Wades dunk over one of the best defensive player at time, Anderson Varejao. Poster dunk! Kodak Moment! King Kong slamming on Empire State building moment! WHAT A DUNK!!!

    Clip of my favorite Wade moment so everyone could be amazed by it.

  • Eric Wilborn

    All of them. How can you hate DWade’s playoff performances? I’m even from the Chicago area and it’s still hard to hate.

  • fernandogarcia

    im from Miami so my favorite dwade playoff moment is definatly the moment were he grabbed the rebound after a missed three by jason terry and threw it in the air……. a moment that will stay in my head forever…… dwade is the man and to me and is the greatest athlete in miami sports history

  • phommacharinh

    My favorite d-wade playoff moment was when he was being sooo aggressive he caused rajon rando to dislocate his elbow. Eventually giving the miami heat all the momentum to advance. He showed courage, strenght, and desirability. Sure it was his fault don’t blame the guy for trying to gain possesion of the ball. This had put the heat over the semi final hump and landed them a spot in the eastern finals.

  • Frank

    If game 3 of the 2006 finals doesn’t win this contest, then I just don’t know. I’ve never seen a more prolific scorer (points and percentage) take a team on his shoulders and work the frontrunner the way wade did. Let’s not forget how he blocked the in bounds pass as time expired. Wow!! just the memory gives me a chill. There’s a ton to choose from…Wades “hot hand” game vs 2010 Celtics, his rookie year game winner over B-Davis, the “back flip” circus shot vs. Detroit in the 2006 E. conf Finals. I could go on, but I don’t have to. Game 3…Epic.

  • Diego Terreno

    It’s strange, but i think the last seconds of game 6 against Dallas in 2006 Finals when Dwade understood that it was not a dream, but he really won the championship!

  • Kim A

    I cannot pick a specific, there’s just too many. Just watching him play is amazing-he can pull the flashy moves/but doesn’t have a huge ego&shows off(sometimes lol). He kinda started as an underdog-picked a team in need if major improvement and has brought them together&to the top with illnesses/injuries….as I see it: D.Wade doesn’t play for the team-he plays with them-but if a game’s looking grim he’ll take the lead and ‘clean up’!

  • ai come back

    5 threes against boston to make it look like the heat had a chance against the no 2 team last year after the 4th three he looks at his hand like its burnin dwade is a team carrier nuf said

  • http://youtu.be/yv6737AR_eY Frances

    My favorite Dwayne Wade performances during the finals was his over-all performance in the 2006 Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. He really showed his true talents in that game.

    When the Mavs were leading the series 0-2 and Dwade brought his team to win the series. Hopefully we see a rematch again this year to see the Heat take it again.

  • Chauda

    Let’s take it back to 2004, Miami Heat vs. New Orleans Hornets. This was a defining moment. With just a little over 4secs to go for the game, tied, Flash took B-Diddy with a behind the leg crossover, attacked the hoop with confidence and floated up a game-winner. That erased all the “who is this guy?” type of thinking. A star was born.

  • Ian

    I was just 5 years old when DWade came into the league, so its hard for me to remember much in his first few years. I do remember the 2006 NBA Finals against the Mavericks when the Heat were down in the series 0-2 and Wade had four huge games scoring 42,36,43, and 36, leading one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history. I remember being allowed to stay up to watch game 6 because the Heat had a chance to close out the series, and I watched the entire game wearing my Dwyane Wade jersey. Let’s hope they get another chance this year in the Finals.

  • http://slamonline.com AllDayEveryDay

    My favorite D Wade moment is when he got dunked on by Taj Gibson in the Eastern Conference Finals game 1 5/15/2011.

  • http://slamonline.com Chester

    favorite moment of wade when was when he got dunked all over by taj gibson in game one of the east finals 2011.

  • http://twitter.com/projecthope7 Cathy B

    hard to pick but would probably be the miracle shot of game 5 against the Celtics

  • Phenom

    My favorite moment was when Wade put his team on his back and made a changing history moment…. Down by 13 points with 5 minuets at home against Mavs and won the series….That game prove the world Wade is here to stay for a long time and consider as a future H.O.F!!!!! Can’t wait Mavs vs Heat 2011 Finals rematch were Amazing Happens…..

  • Zoom

    My favorite D-Wade moment was when it was his first time in the playoffs. He was just a rookie and it was game 1 last seconds of the game. D-
    Wade had the ball and made the shot. He earned lots of his respect that day.

  • Daio

    My favorite Dwyane Wade moment has to be when it all started. It was Game 1 against the Hornets, and as we all know, Stan Van Gundy went to the rookie. You gotta wonder what he was thinking at that moment when it happened–

    “Dwyane, you’re getting the ball. Everyone else, clear out,” Stan could’ve said.

    – and him face to face with Baron Davis, known around the league as a leader, and tough as nails. He put it through his legs once, hesitated to the side, and during all this, you could see Davis set in his stance, and could almost hear what he was thinking.

    “I’m gonna shut this rook down.”

    Then Dwyane shook him to the right while he headed left and finished with a chill floater.

    Guess Dwyane thought different.

  • Kenneth

    My favorite D-Wade moment was when he carried the Heat over the Mavs in Game 3 of the 06 Finals, coming from behind and win.

    My favorite moment from Dwyane’s career is the moment where the clock stopped at 0.0, and you couldn’t hear the buzzer because of the loud and proud fans of the Miami Heat. Yes, I’m talking about the 2006 Finals. Wade grabbed the last rebound and launched the ball in the air. That was the time when the whole world went crazy and loud. A new superstar was born. He ran to midfield and from the TV broadcast you could only see the big crowd moving with him. The whole team gathered around him and celebrated Dwyane like the new king. In fact he WAS the new king of the NBA after being crowned as the Finals MVP. He showed that being a great leader takes a lot of hard work but it can be achieved.

  • knicker

    My favorite moment was in 2004 when he was in his rookie year. First round of the playoffs, Heat vs Hornets, game tied at 79 with 4 seconds left to play. Wade got the ball with tight defense on him, made a crossover, and powered through the empty lane. Only a second passed and he was facing the whole Hornets team in front of him, but it didn’t hold him back. Wade was confident, he believed in himself (which is the most important thing in these kind of situations) and hit the floater over 3 players. As the ball was flying towards the basket, the whole American Airlines Arena stood up. Hands were starting to reach into the air because 20,000 fans knew what was going to happen. The ball hit its highest point in its flight and millions of people watching the game on TV soon realised they (too) were witnessing on of the biggest moments, which really gave a boost to Dwyane’s career. There was nothing like seeing this moment in live (even on TV). If you watch it on the internet it can’t give you the same feeling. Just look at me, I’m cheering for New York but seeing it really made a big difference in my life. So the ball started falling down and down… It was like a neverending moment. Then it finally went through the net with 1.3 seconds remaining from the game. And I think you know the story from here. It was the game winning shot and the moment when Wade really earned his respect which he carried on to this day including his 2006 championship run on his way.

    I THINK THAT THE BEST MEMORY OF DWADE WAS WHEN HE AND THE HEAT WERE LOSING THE FINALS AGAINST THE MAVS. THEN HE LED THE HEAT TO HIS FIRST NBA CHAMPIONSHIP AND HIS FIRST FINALS MVP.

  • Robert B
