Growing four inches in the summer before his junior year, Wade proceeded to average 20.7 points and 7.6 rebounds during the ensuing season, while also tallying 100 assists and 73 steals. Wade attended H.

 In Wade's first year at Marquette, he did not play because of academic problems. When Wade became eligible his sophomore year, 2001-2002, he led the Golden Eagles in scoring with 17.8 PPG. He also averaged 6.6 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game, leading Marquette to a 26-7 record, the school's best record since the 1993-1994 season. In 2003, Wade led Marquette in scoring again with 21.5 PPG; Marquette won the school's first and only Conference USA championship with a 27-6 record, and Wade powered the Golden Eagles to the Final Four, the school's first appearance in the Final Four since winning the 1977 national championship.{{ men_s_basketball:11.jpg}} In Wade's first year at Marquette, he did not play because of academic problems.

 Perhaps Wade's most memorable collegiate moment came in the 2003 Midwest Regional Final in the NCAA Tournament in Minneapolis. Against heavily favored, top-ranked and top-seeded Kentucky, Wade recorded a rare triple-double, recording 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, including 4 blocks and a steal on defense to lead Marquette over the Wildcats 83-69 and into the Final Four. Wade was only the fourth player in NCAA Men's Tournament history to record a triple-double, after Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and Andre Miller. Marquette finished the season ranked #6 in the AP poll, the school's highest ranking since the 1976-1977 season.  Perhaps Wade's most memorable collegiate moment came in the 2003 Midwest Regional Final in the NCAA Tournament in Minneapolis.

-Selected fifth overall in the 2003 NBA Draft, Wade quickly emerged as a star on a relatively young Miami Heat team after averaging better than 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in his rookie season. He further distinguished{{ men_s_basketball:9.jpg}} himself with outstanding performances in the 2004 NBA Playoffs, particularly against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. In the end, however, Wade's successful rookie season was somewhat overshadowed by the hype surrounding fellow rookies Carmelo Anthony and, in particular, LeBron James. Wade did earn unanimous selection to the NBA 2004 All-Rookie team and also finished 3rd in rookie of the year voting (behind James and Anthony). He also ranked in the top five among rookies in six major statistical categories, ranked second in field goal percentage, second in steals, third in scoring, third in efficiency rating (15.26), fourth in assists, fourth in minutes, seventh in blocks per game, 11th in rebounds per game, and 12th in free throw percentage.+{{ men_s_basketball:9.jpg?250}} Selected fifth overall in the 2003 NBA Draft, Wade quickly emerged as a star on a relatively young Miami Heat team after averaging better than 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in his rookie season.

 As a testament to his success, Wade was chosen as a member of the USA's Olympic basketball team during the 2004 offseason. However, he had a limited role as most of the playing time was given to more experienced veterans. But with his defense, Wade was considered one of the few bright spots on a team that otherwise performed poorly by the standards of U.S. Olympics basketball, eventually finishing with the bronze medal. Wade averaged 7.3 points and 17.5 minutes in the eight games that the USA played in the Olympics. He also earned himself a number two rating in registering steals against Olympic opponents, averaging slightly more than two per game. As a testament to his success, Wade was chosen as a member of the USA's Olympic basketball team during the 2004 offseason.

-In his first trip to the NBA Finals, in which the Miami Heat faced off against the Dallas Mavericks, Wade continued to display his great ability. His performance in games three, four, and five, in which he scored 42, 36, and 43 {{men_s_basketball:7.jpg }}points, respectively, brought the Heat back from a 0-2 deficit to lead the series at 3 games to 2. Wade's Game 3 performance was especially memorable; Wade finished with 42 points (tying his career playoff high) and 13 rebounds (career high). 15 of his 42 points came in the 4th quarter, in which the Heat erased a 13 point deficit over the final 6:34 with a 22-7 run which included a go-ahead jumper by NBA veteran Gary Payton that sealed the win. The Heat went on to win Game 6, taking the 2006 Finals series 4-2, and Wade was presented with the Finals MVP trophy. Dwyane had the third highest scoring average ever by a player in his first NBA Finals with 34.7 points per game.+{{men_s_basketball:7.jpg  }}In his first trip to the NBA Finals, in which the Miami Heat faced off against the Dallas Mavericks, Wade continued to display his great ability.

 At least one journalist claimed that Wade was the recipient of "phantom foul" calls, allowing him to attempt almost as many free throws as the entire Dallas Mavericks team. ESPN journalist Bill Simmons argued that lopsided officiating gave Wade an unfair advantage. [1] On the other hand, Washington Post sports columnist Michael Wilbon believed that the Miami Heat was the better team [2]. At least one journalist claimed that Wade was the recipient of "phantom foul" calls, allowing him to attempt almost as many free throws as the entire Dallas Mavericks team.
