Dwyane Wade may have entered the league less than a decade ago, and his youthful indiscretions may still making national news , but the man has been around for long enough to know how to drag a team to victory. The Miami Heat star worked his 158th playoff contest in Wednesday night’s Game 5, against a Chicago Bulls team he grew up rooting for.
