Dwyane Wade's Most Memorable All-Star Game Moments
Dwyane Wade is a perennial All-Star in the NBA. This year is no different and marks the eighth straight year that Wade has been elected to the game. He's had some great games.
Wade has been the best shooting guard in the Eastern Conference for the better part of a decade, and that has been reflected in his play in many All-Star games.
Here are his five most memorable All-Star games.
2005 All-Star Game
1 of 5The 2005 All-Star game was Dwyane Wade's first-ever All-Star appearance.
Wade scored 14 points in the game, going 6-of-13 from the field with three rebounds.
Not a stellar performance, especially in a game where defense is at the end of the priority list.
However, it is important because it is his first appearance. Even then, he clearly showed that he belonged and was there to stay.
I especially like how he scores on Kobe Bryant.
2006 All-Star Game
2 of 5The 2006 game was just Wade's second appearance, but it may go down as his best one, too.
Shooting 9-of-11 from the field, Wade scored 20 points and recorded three assists and four rebounds.
His effort helped lead the East to a two-point victory over the West.

2008 All-Star Game
3 of 5The 2008 All-Star game was impressive, not because of the amount of points Wade scored, but because of just how much he helped the team in limited time.
Despite being a starter, Wade played the second-least amount of minutes on the team.
He still was able to contribute 14 points, and the East team was plus-22 when he was on the floor.
He also added three assists, four rebounds and the clutch shot at the end of the game, as shown in the clip.
2009 All-Star Game
4 of 5In the 2009 game, the Miami Heat's starting shooting guard scored 18 points on 6-of-13 shooting.
He added five assists and three steals.
Despite Wade's very respectable efforts, the East lost by one of the largest margins in All-Star game history: 146-119.

2010 All-Star Game
5 of 5The 2010 All-Star game was Wade's best All-Star performance by far.
In his sixth All-Star game appearance, Wade went off for 28 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and five steals, doing a bit of everything for the team from the East.
His performance highlighted a two-point win for the East.
He was efficient, too. He shot 12-of-16 from the field, 4-of-6 from the free-throw line and committed just three turnovers.
Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, Wade was named the 2010 All-Star game MVP. A sampling of his highlights in the game is in the clip. Enjoy.
