After struggling to carry a lackluster Miami Heat team to 15 wins, many thought Dwyane Wade would never be the same. Those doubters seem to have been proven wrong. Wade is the leading scorer for Team USA, and has been one of the most consistent players on the team.

Things definitely seem to be looking up for the Heat. Miami's team seems to have been rejuvenated, with the drafting of Michael Beasley and retaining of Shawn Marion. It seems these acquisitions have inspired Wade to be the player he once was.

In the 2008 Summer Olympics Wade has averaged 17.3 points in only 18.7 minutes per game. It seems Wade has gotten his explosiveness back and looks better than ever.

It definitely will not be easy for the Heat to win the division, as Orlando has become a contender, Washington is solid, and Charlotte and Atlanta are quickly rising in talent and experience.

It should be an exciting year for both Miami Heat and NBA fans, as one of the league's best players is back with a vengeance.
