Prior to his arrival, there was a lot of Harding to Miami basketball.

Wade burst onto the scene, a shy kid from Marquette, fifth pick in a draft that had higher profile players.

But he was the first in his class to turn heads in the playoffs.

Wait, putting the move on Davis.

There is way.

Flash was born.

The kid from Chicago became the savior the Magic City needed brought the heat back to win its first championship in one of the greatest finals performances ever.

Rebound over.

Not long after the Heat ALS were born.

This is the dream come true.

The NBA's version of a rock band were forced to be reckoned with Blaine.

Later, he comes with LeBron director from high above the rim of the Bradley Center.

Most importantly, four straight trips to the finals and two more titles going back.

The years following had vintage Wade moments, the birth of Father Prime and a split that left all of Miami in a daze.

They wanted me back in Miami, I considered it, but then today I went where I wanted to be, although absence truly does make the heart grow fonder.
