left knee and reconstruct Nike air shoxhis career. Less than two years after winning the NBA Finals MVP in 2006, Wade's reckless,

relentless playing style had left him banged up and down a notch among the league's elite perimeter players -- though not

nearly as low as his Miami Heat had plummeted in the standings.
With some observers wondering if he had plateaued, grown complacent with his rapid rise to fame or was simply too injury

prone, Wade told Grover, the famed workout guru best-known for training Michael Jordan:Nike air shox "I got to get back to what got me

there."
Seeking merely to get healthy and return to the form that made him an NBA champion, Wade emerged from two months of arduous

training perhaps better than ever. The redemption began last summer in Beijing, where Wade came off the bench and was the

leading scorer on the gold medal-winning Olympic basketball team -- a team that featured friendly rivals LeBron James and

Kobe Bryant. And it has carried air maxover to the NBA's regular season, where Wade is now the league's leading scorer, averaging a

career-best 28.7 points, and has helped the Heat move beyond a franchise-worst 15-67 campaign.
"Going through injuries, going through a 15-win season, it's no secret everybody had written me off, saying I was this, that

and the third," Wade said. "I wanted to let everybody know that I do hear it. I'm going to do my job to shut everybody up.

When the Olympics came, I think I hushed a lot of people up -- but I have to keep doing it."
Wade often says that he plays with controlled anger, and he has had plenty to fuel him.
"Last year was the point in my life where it hasn't been as rosy -- on and off theCheap Air Jordan court," said Wade, who is separated from

his wife and the mother of his two children, Siohvaughn. "As an adult, as someone who is going to live life and goes through

some ups and downs, you know it's going to come. The only thing you can do is try to get through it, try to be who you are

through it and eventually know that the storm will be over. It's going to change."
The Heat (17-13) already has air jordansurpassed last season's win total -- a testament to Wade's talents, considering that Miami is

rebuilding on the fly with a rookie coach (Erik Spoelstra), a rookie point guard (Mario Chalmers) and limited depth and

experience.
"Dwyane's been fantastic, particularly from a leadership standpoint," Spoelstra said. "Every single day, from training camp,

he's led the way. He's shown the young guys this is important, this is how we do things with the Miami Heat, and here's what

it means to be a professional. I think for the first time in his career, he realizes everybody is looking to him to be the

leader. Not only by example, but to really tell people how to do it."
Wade isn't getting his points by just slashing and gliding to the rim. He developed a consistent midrange jumper last summer

in hopes of prolonging Shox Arraw+his career. He also isn't focused on just scoring; he ranks among the top 10 in assists and steals and

is averaging a career-high 1.5 blocks per game. "I've proven over the years that I can score a lot of points, sometimes at

will," said Wade, 26. "Now it's about putting it all together and being a complete player. If I'm a complete player, it will

make my team better.
"I felt in '06 in the Finals, that was the best I was at that point, but so far, for the regular season, I feel like, after

six years in the league, this is the best I've been," Wade said. "I hope I can say the same thing at eight years in this

league, nine years, and I Shox Pursuit+just get better and better."
Heat President Pat Riley shut down Wade in March of last season, a few weeks after dealing away Shaquille O'Neal to expedite

a rebuilding process. Riley determined that it wasn't worth Wade expending his energy when his body had never fully recovered

from surgeries on his shoulder and knee in the summer of 2007. Riley told Wade to get healthy, so Wade got Grover.
Wade, a native of the Chicago suburb of Robbins, Ill., had been working out with Grover since before he entered the NBA.

Grover designed a demanding rehabilitation program for Wade that focused on strengthening Wade's whole body, not just his

surgically repaired left knee, and restoring Wade's explosiveness. Desperately wanting to participate in the Beijing

Olympics, Wade was more than eager to cooperate. "He sort of went back to his first year in this league, when he had that

chip on his shoulder,"Shox Turbo V+ 5 Wade's agent, Henry Thomas, said. "He had to prove himself all over again."
Wade was in the gym four to five hours a day, five days a week, pushing his body to new extremes. Grover only asked Wade for

a six-week commitment. Wade gave him eight weeks.
"He's extremely self-motivated," Grover said of Wade in a recent phone interview. "There were times when he was down and we

had to push some buttons and push him through. We know the individual and how far we can push them. And with Dwyane, there

were no limits."
Grover assigned a physical therapist, a massage therapist and a basketball skills trainer to assist Wade in his

rehabilitation and workouts, which often were conducted alongside New York Knicks forward Quentin Richardson. Grover added

more than $200,000 worth of hydraulic training equipment to help Wade, who started out using no weights for his leg lifts and

finished the program pushing up four 45-pound weights on each leg.
"There was a lot of times I put myself through it and I kept thinking, 'When I get Shox NZhealthy, I got to make people pay for

this.' We did some things that had us dizzy sometimes," Wade said. "It was rough. Tim didn't take it easy on me at all. He

helped me push through my mental blocks that I had, knowing that I'm not injured no more and I have to push my body to get

stronger. I picked up a lot of muscle because of my workouts and I'm just healthy."
When Wade gained more confidence in his game, he called friends James and Chris Paul to work out and scrimmage with him for

two days at Grover's gym.
"D-Wade is a guy that's always proved doubters wrong, ever since he began playing the game of basketball," James said. "To

see him back healthy, back at 'Flash,' as you guys call him, it was good to see."
USA Basketball Managing Director Jerry Colangelo visited Wade in Chicago in June and determined he was fit to play in

Beijing. Wade repaid Colangelo's trust by scoring 27 points in the thrilling gold Shox Turbo+ IV 4medal victory over Spain. "We can argue who

the top three or four players are in the game, and he'd have to be in there somewhere," New York Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni,

who was an assistant on the Olympic team, said of Wade. "He came way back and surprised us this summer. I'm thinking, 'I hope

he can play.' And he was probably our best guy."
Now that he is back in the discussion of the league's best player, Wade is focused on a much more challenging assignment. "My

job is to lead [the Heat] back to our winning ways," Wade said. "Everybody else that's up there, they have ready-made teams.

I've already had mine and I've won a championship. Now, I'm helping to rebuild an organization with this team. It feels

good."
