Miami Heat All-Star guard Dwyane Wade had four blocks through the first five games of his team's series with the Charlotte Hornets.
His sixth in Game 6 on Friday night tied him with Hornets owner and NBA legend Michael Jordan - who was in attendance at Time Warner Cable Arena - for the 30th-most rejections by a guard in NBA postseason history at 158. He added two more in the second half, pushing past "His Airness" (and John Salley) into the No. 29 spot.
