 Dwyane Wade does not seem human. He can't be. How could a human being accomplish what Wade does game after game with the Miami Heat? How could a man -- someone born on the same planet as the rest of us -- lift off the ground, contort his body in midflight, orbit around two opponents, rise another foot higher, then drop a ball through a hoop without so much as a swish? Whatever else he may be, Wade is without doubt a superstar. In only his second year in the league, the guard was named a second-team All-NBA selection, a second-team All-Defensive NBA selection and an All-Star. On top of all that, People magazine named him one of the world's 50 most beautiful people. Superman, eat your heart out.
