Dwyane Wade has still got it.
The 34-year-old came up clutch in his Chicago Bulls debut, drilling a step-back three over Boston Celtics guard Avery Bradley to put his hometown club up five with under 30 seconds remaining.
This is how he celebrated the shot:
The bucket marked Flash's fourth trey in the contest. The last time he recorded that many in a regular-season game was in January 2013, according to Kevin Pelton of ESPN. He had seven 3-pointers all of last season.
Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union, was impressed with his long-range shooting.
So it turns out I married a 3pt specialist... Who is this guy?!?!??! @DwyaneWade ❤👀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

Chicago held on to win 105-99 and start the season 1-0. Wade finished with 22 points on 7-of-18 shooting from the field and 4-of-6 from deep, to go along with six boards and five dimes.
