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.

    Nothing better for me than when Wade (as a rookie) hit the buzzer beater over B-Diddy against the Hornets in the 2004 Playoffs:

    My favorite memory was Dwyane Wade in game 4 of the 2006 NBA Finals. Scored 30+ and completely took over. Turned around the series and won himself a championship before Lebron. Unforgettable in my opinion.

  • flash

    the miracle shot of game 5 against the Celtics. he rolled up and had this look on his face like “the flash is back ladies and gentlemen!”

  • Andre

    When Dwade this year blocked Kevin Garnett this year of 2011 playoff and his great dunking for a PG.

  • MichaelChoo

    My favorite Dwyane Wade playoff moment without a doubt is his dunk on Jermaine O’Neal against the Pacers. One of the sickest dunks I’ve ever seen.

    My favorite play was when he dove into the crowd at the end of game 1 against Boston . He showed some great effort plus it looked like he was attempting some sort of stage dive.

  • Hernann

    D. Wade with the crazy behind the back layup vs the Mavs in the 06 Finals

    i personally liked his backcourt violation against the mavericks. it made it better when the league had a press release saying it wasn’t a violation despite the verbiage in the rulebook.

  • Ben Gantt

    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.

  • baltimoresbest

    Coming back from an 0-2 deficit against Dallas in the Finals and winning in 6 games. Easily the best moment of his Playoff career was as that final horn sounded.

  • Seb

    ’06 Finals Game 5; the Heat down 10+ points before Dwyane just took over the game and helped the Heat to take control of the series.

  • Jeffco3

    You guys spelled T-Mobile wrong. “T-Molbile” Opening graf, last line.

  • http://www.bulls.com Rigo Gonzalez

    Y’all know AT&T bought out T-Mobile and will make it official in a few months, right?
    Just saying, for those of y’all pink-dress wearing, wack fast rapping, not knowing if Dwyane will finish a dunk peeps that heart T-Mobile and can’t stand AT&T.

    easy, its gotta be game 3, ’06 finals. or even the rest of the finals after that,
    42 points, after losing 2 in dallas and then leading the Heat to 4 straight to take the chip? Dwade sh*tted on the entire mavs squad.
    he AVERAGED nearly 35 pts, 8 rebs, and 4 assists.
    shaq was on the decline, so that’s just about as close as a “one – man squad” there will ever be that wins a championship.

    My favorite D3 playoff moment was in the 2005 playoffs in game 4 against the Washington Wizards where D3 hit 44 points, grab 7 rebs, had 4 dimes, 2 steals, and 1 block it was crazy game and D3 prove why he is a fetaure hall of famer.

  • Rasheedionics

    Game 5.. 2006 Finals.. fter Erick Dampier stuffed home an open dunk to give the Mavericks a 93-91 lead with 11 seconds remaining, the ball was given to Dwyane to tie the game or potentially win it… With his defender draped all over him, Wade drove to the basket and banked it in with two seconds left to tie the game up at 93 apiece. The Mavericks wouldn’t be able to convert on the other end and the game would be decided in overtime.

    I’m sure you know how it goes from there.

  • Kid Dynamite

    Mine has to be in last year’s first round vs the Celtics when he was shooting out of his mind and started having a conversation with his hand. He had that look like Jack Nicholson in “The Shining”..

  • tinyroads

    Stern letting him get to the line so often against the Mavs in ’06? Counts? Can I say none? I just wanna win the phone.

  • shuref00t

    Body-slamming Rondo.

  • Kevin Wilson

    When he shot more free throws than Dallas.

    Even though I am a Heat hater, I’ve always been a Wade fan. My favorite moment of his playoff career was definitely his dunk over Jermaine O’Neal during his rookie season. I remember a lot of people sleeping on Wade before his rookie season, and even after he played so well people still underrated him. That dunk was him announcing his arrival on the big stage and making casual fans take notice. He was already on his way to being a star, but that signature. Moment was his first step toward being a superstar.

  • Casey Roblin

    2004 Playoffs. Vs the Hornets. 11 Seconds Left. Wade crosses up Baron Davis and hits the game winning floater. “Stan Van Gundy went to the rookie and he delivered!” Clutch.

  • Kyle

    EUROSTEP. AHHHHHHHHHH.

  • blake saiontz

    NBA championship celebration him and shaq

  • logues

    when dallas looked like they were gonna go up 3-0 in the finals then dwade just took over the rest of that game and that series and became arguably the best player in the league during the finals in only his 3rd yr

  • randy wilson

    my fav moment waswhen wade shook kg with the little manu step threw then came back and broke ray allens ankles with the 3 u knew the celtics couldnt beat them in that moment

  • Dudley L.

    When D-Wade took over the Finals. Averging 34.7ppg for the Finals. That is my favorite D-Wade moment. I never saw someone dominate a Finals series like that(I am 16, so i didn’t see Michael Jordan live in action expect for his Wizards day)Led his team to a 4-2 series win after being down 2-0. That’s crazy!

  • clayton

    last year when he rained 3′s on the celtics in game 4

  • stayweird38

    Mine is when the CHICAGO BULLS MADE THE HEAT CRY HAHAHAHAHA GO BULLS!

  • Maayan Dotan

    My favorite D-wade playoff moment was when he made that amaing euro step on kevin garnett. He completely comfused him and then went for an amazing back layup.

  • Ricardo Hodges

    His game winner against the hornets when he was a rookie

    My favorite D-Wade Playoff Moment happened during the 4th game in the 2006 Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons. The Heat were leading the series 2-1. Wade was struggling in the first half but made a change in the second. It was the 4th quarter, 11 minutes and 5 seconds were remaining. Gary Payton received the ball on the left corner and made his move inside. He passed the ball to Wade from between three defenders. Dwyane got the ball at the right wing and started running toward the basket. He went up with a Pistons player in front of him (unfortunately I don’t remember his name), made contact, drew the foul, turned his back to the basket and as he was falling down, he was able to extend his right arm and put the ball into the basket for a chance to make a three point play. He fell hard on his back, but quickly sit up and made the cameramen’s day. The Heat won that game and never stopped until they beat the Mavericks in the Finals and earned their first ever Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy. Dwyane Wade was named the Finals MVP and proved that hard work pays off. It was my favorite moment because it was the first NBA game I watched. Since then I became a huge fan and started playing basketball too. Even though I’m a Bulls fan, it’ll be great to see these two teams play against each other the next round. I can’t wait!

    The greatest Wade moment has to be the game against the Bulls on March 10, 2009. Wade had 48 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, hit the three-pointer at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime, then stole the ball and shot a running-three pointer as time expired in double OT to win the game… Then he climbed on top of the table and screamed “THIS IS MY HOUSE”

  • Linos

    May 29th 2006. Wade. Eastern Conference Finals. American Airlines Arena. Game 4. Against Detroit. 2-1 series to Miami. 62-61 to Miami. 11:04 remaining in the 4th. Series momentum in the balance. He receives the ball from Payton. He drives past four Pistons. McDyess meets him to block his path. He turns his back. He draws the foul. He flips the ball over his shoulder. And-one. Pistons devastated. White Hot Heat estatic. He slides in front of cameramen on the baseline. He smiles. He ponders, “If you think that’s crazy, wait till you see what I got in store for you in the Finals.” A simple lay-up for a few. A coronation for what was to come for the many.

  • rob stewart

    His FALL SEVEN TIMES GET UP EIGHT commercials. I can’t relate to all of his awesome crossovers, dunks, spin moves, and step-back jumpers. But I know exactly what he’s talking about when he encourages his fans to get back up when they fall

  • jose

    Game 6, The Finals. Wade pulls down the final rebound of the game, only to throw it into the air in a surge of emotion. Every spectacular play,every powerful slam, every Superhuman performance; all of that was summed up into one heave in the air and a buzzer sound. The sweetest sound in the world at that moment for him, the team, and every single fan watching.Words can’t describe great moments such as those, but the announcer did his best . .”Dwyane Wade, The World Is Yours. . . “

    My favorite DWade moment in the playoffs happened in the Eastern Conference finals of 2006 against Detroit. In the previous year Detroit has eliminated the Heat in the playoffs. They were very physical on Dwade… very reminiscent of Jordan’s experience before he got his first ring. Fast forward to May 29 2006 4th quarter, it was a very close game and Wade catches a pass and slashes to the basket. McDyess helps on defense and Wade was hit while in midair.. he turns his back to the basket and flips the ball.. And one. DWade was unstoppable.. At the moment I knew that DWade is going to dominate the league.

    Like Michael when he finally won over Detroit, DWade and the Heat won the series and proceeded on winning the championship against Dallas. And like Michael, DWade will dominate the league for years to come.

  • http://pra.sh Prash

    I liked when DWade put the ball through the hoop. That was pretty awesome. Yeah.

  • melody

    at game 5 vs celtics when he drove to the rim and literally just flipped up the ball and made the shot (:

  • Nicholas Fitchett

    My favorite Dwayne Wade playoff moment is when he kept running blindly into the Mavs players during the 06 Finals and the refs kept calling fouls against Mavs players who were not even close enough to touch him… Turned me off of the NBA for a long time.

  • Roman

    Huddling with LBJ and Bosh after they took out the Celtics. Essentially showing they stuck together through the entire year and not just the playoffs.

  • HT

    Diving into the crowd. Willing to do what out takes to win

  • Shawna

    My favorite DWade Playoff Moment was game four when Wade took a pass from Lamar Odom and proceeded it to slam it over the 6’11″ Jermaine O’Neal who was in his prime considered one of the best defenders in the league at the time.

  • Steve Crisostomo

    My favorite moment was his block on kevin garnett. highlight of the whole game.

  • Yaniv C

    Every moment from Wade is a special moment!

  • Saifur Rob

    When D-Wade drained 42 points in game 3 of the 2006 finals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5n7UEEkw8M
