Let’s go back to a time when Dwyane Wade was flat out dominating the league with relative ease.
We’re not talking about his breakout season in 2004-05, his first title in 2006 or any of the Big 3 years.
Figure it out yet?
We’re talking about his MV3 campaign in 2008-09.
If you need a little refresher on what he did that season, let’s go down the list:
- Averaged 30.2 points (a league-high), 7.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game on 49.1 percent shooting
- Scored 30 points or more 39 times, including 13 instances where he hit at least 40 and three occurrences where he racked up at least 50 (one of which we’ll get into shortly)
- Became the first (and still the only) player to record at least 2000 points, 500 assists, 100 steals and 100 blocks in a single season
Whew.
