'Flash' as Dwyane Wade was wont to be called in his heyday, was one of the toughest competitors Kobe ever faced in his 20-year career. Wade is one of the greatest shot-blocking guards in history, and at the time of this duel was a 2-time All-Defensive team selection (he bagged one this season as well).

The defending champions had a bit of an off-game against a surging Miami Heat powered by Wade's scoring bursts. They found themselves down 107-105 with 3.2 seconds on the clock, and Kobe receives the inbound pass with Wade harassing him and taking him as far away from the hoop as possible.

While it looks like a desperation shot, Kobe beats the perfect on-ball defense played by Wade and banks in a DEEP 3-pointer to give the Lakers the win on the night. He had 17 points in the 4th quarter that night.
