Stat line: 36 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks

Facing a win-or-go-home scenario in Game 6 of the 2006 NBA Finals, Wade left little doubt he was among the game’s very best.

He shot 10-of-18 from the field and converted 16-of-21 free throws in the contest, hitting four straight free throws in the final 26.2 seconds of regulation, sealing the deal for his team.

Miami wrapped up its miraculous championship run with a 95-92 win led by Dwyane Wade. This powerful display was made even more impactful when you realise that Wade's partner-in-crime Shaquille O' Neal contributed just nine points. The influential demonstration of physical & mental toughness cemented his well-deserved NBA Finals MVP honours.

For the series, he averaged 34.7 points on 46.8 per cent field-goal shooting, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.7 blocks and one steal per game, and got the franchise it's first NBA title.
