In 2009, LeBron James and his team were visiting the Miami Heat. With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, James tried to dunk over Jermaine O'Neal and got blocked. Wade got hold of the ball and started moving towards the Cavs basket.

Before the defense could have realized what was happening, the Flash was high up in the air and came down thunderously on a meek-looking Anderson Varejao. Varejao went body-down to the floor and Wade stepped over him like Iverson once did over Lue.

Upset about the dunk, Varejao exchanged some words with Wade and both were given a technical. The Cavaliers won the match 111-104 but the damage that Wade did that day will remain with them throughout the history of the game.

LeBron James who considers D-Wade like his brother had praise for him when asked about the dunk.

“It was great, probably top 10 all-time. That was an unbelievable play by a great player.” James said.
