5 major Miami Heat franchise records held by Dwyane Wade

#3 Total assists - 5009

Miami Heat v Dallas Mavericks - Game Four

Given the Heat's lack of elite playmakers through the years, it comes as no surprise that Wade has led them in total assists over the course of several years now. With 5009 assists and counting, Wade has now been the Heat franchise leader in total assists for over 8 years now, passing by Tim Hardaway at 2867 assists in middle of the 2009-10 regular season campaign.

Wade is one of the greatest playmaking guards in pick-and-roll situations in the history of the league, make no mistake. The Wade-and-Shaq pick-and-roll combo was so dominant for the first couple of Shaq's seasons with the Heat mainly because of Wade's elite deceleration and ability to hit the roll man with a sweet bounce pass at the perfect time.

Wade's linkup play with LeBron on the fast break borders on telepathic - his outlet passes to The King are legitimately the stuff of legend.
