There’s truly never been anybody else like him.

In order for LeBron to have compiled stats like these, he not only had to lead his team to the playoffs but also advance far enough to rack up these stats. And get this: LeBron is also the youngest player to have such a postseason, doing it as a 22-year-old in 2007, the first time he made the Finals.Ĭumulative stats like this are rarely impressive, but the postseason is the opposite. In fact, the five oldest players to do it are, in order, 2020 LeBron, 2018 LeBron, 2017 LeBron, 2016 LeBron and 2010 Kobe, who was 31 at the time. On September 18, 2018, Wade re-signed with the Heat.At 35, LeBron is by far the oldest player to have such a postseason. He passed Larry Bird for 10th on the NBA's career postseason scoring list. On April 16, Wade scored 28 points to end the 76ers' 17-game winning streak and lead the Heat to a 113–103 Game 2 win over Philadelphia and even the first-round playoff series. On April 3, in a 101–98 win over the Atlanta Hawks, Wade reached 5,000 assists in a Heat uniform, becoming the ninth player to score 20,000 points and collect 5,000 assists with one team, joining Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Larry Bird, John Havlicek, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West. Wade had 15 of his points in the fourth quarter. On February 27, Wade scored a season-high 27 points, the last of those coming on a jumper that gave Miami its only lead of the fourth quarter with 5.9 seconds left, as the Heat rallied to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 102–101.

A 12-time NBA All-Star, Wade is Miami's all-time leader in points, games, assists and steals, shots made and shots taken. After 1½ seasons away from the Heat with the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers, Wade was traded back to Miami in February 2018. With LeBron James and Chris Bosh, Wade helped guide Miami to four consecutive NBA Finals from 2011 to 2014, winning back-to-back championships in 20. In the 2008–09 season, Wade led the league in scoring and earned his first NBA scoring title. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Wade led the United States men's basketball team, commonly known as the "Redeem Team", in scoring, and helped them capture the gold medal. In his third season, Wade led the Heat to their first NBA Championship in franchise history and was named the 2006 NBA Finals MVP. After a successful college basketball career with the Marquette Golden Eagles, Wade was drafted fifth overall in the 2003 NBA draft by Miami. ( born January 17, 1982) is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
