#4 Miami Heat at San Antonio Spurs, 8th November 2018
The Heat and the Spurs met in 2 historic Finals series in back-to-back years: 2013 and 2014. While Wade was already slipping from his peak game by the time they met in 2013, his rather disappointing performance in 2014 caused many experts to attach the 'washed' label to his name for good, even though he came back with a vengeance to the 2016 playoffs.
What can't be forgotten, however, is Wade's vintage performance in Game 4 of the 2013 Finals, when he dropped 32 points at the AT&T Center to help the Heat tie the series 2-2 on the Spurs' home court, allowing the series to extend beyond the 5 games in which it looked like it would finish after a 36-point blowout loss in Game 3.
Wade is a universally loved player, by and large - especially at this stage of his career. In a season when the Spurs will no longer have their resident wizard for the first time in 16 seasons, one final dance by a similarly aesthetically pleasing player on their homecourt will surely be welcomed like few other occasions.
