We've seen this from Wade before... kind of

While Dwyane Wade continues to have one of the more remarkable NBA Finals in history, the columns singing his praises continue to mount.

But there was one in particular that caught my eye. Rick Bozich of the Louisville Courier-Journal recalled the 2003 NCAA Midwest Regional Final in which Wade tore apart Kentucky, then the No. 1 team in the nation, leading Marquette to the Final Four.

Wade's performance that day was remarkable. He had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. But he had help. Robert Jackson, perhaps the most underrated player in the history of Marquette basketball, put up 24 and 15 against Kentucky. Steve Novak came up huge with a couple of key 3-pointers.

But, so far in the NBA Finals, Wade has done this by himself. It was pretty obvious on Sunday night that Wade was going to take the final shot of overtime — and Dallas still couldn't stop him. You can complain all you want if it was a foul or not a foul, but Wade doesn't get that call if he doesn't repeatedly take the ball to the basket.

What he's doing in these NBA Finals is legendary. Sure, a sign of the times to come came in college, but this is on a completely different level.
