An excerpt from the book:
No player in the history of the NBA has done as much for the Miami Heat organization as one particular man. That is why the Heat franchise has become synonymous with that players name. The player in question is Dwyane Wade. Ever since coming into the NBA in 2003, D-Wade, as he is commonly called, has transformed the Miami Heat franchise from being cellar-dwellers into a significant team in the NBA. He has put the Heat organization on the NBA map with his terrific scoring and leadership abilities and for his penchant for winning titles.
A surefire difference-maker who can do it all on the court for the Heat, whether in scoring, passing, rebounding, or defending, Dwyane Wade has been one of the best players the NBA has seen in this generation. Nicknamed The Flash, D-Wade runs the floor as fast as a horse and can finish strongly at the basket despite being a lot smaller than most of the men he bangs bodies with at the rim. With his superior dribbling abilities and point guard instincts, Wade can dictate the tempo of the game just by making plays for his teammates. And despite standing about only 64, Wade has hops high enough to block baskets at the rim, and he is widely regarded as the best shot-blocking guard in the history of the NBA.
