Wade’s first three years in the league took the team one step farther each season, culminating with the Heat’s first ever NBA Championship in 2006. A franchise that didn’t even win a playoff series until their ninth year of existence and had won just three playoff series in total before drafting Wade and was coming off their lowest win total since their first three years in the league suddenly became an NBA powerhouse. What we got was 16 seasons - minus a 106 game detour through Chicago and Cleveland - of the best run in Miami Heat franchise history. I don’t think any of us expected what we got. I think I can speak for Marquette fans everywhere that we all hoped that the MU guard, fresh off leading the Golden Eagles to the program’s third ever Final Four appearance, would have a successful and productive career. On June 26, 2003, Dwyane Wade was taken fifth overall in the NBA Draft by the Miami Heat.
