Then in the 05-06 season, there was the NBA Finals where the zebras handed him the trophy.


He still had to make the FT's. If the zebras tried to hand Shaq the trophy, good luck, especially if he pulls off another 0-11 from the line performance.

Without those ticky tack fouls, missed travel/carry calls, etc. Dwyane still would of had a very memorable performance IMO.

He averaged 16 free throws a game, 20 in the final 4 games. Had the calls been slightly better, he wouldn't have averaged 30 and the Mavericks would won the close games in the series.

If that was 2006, I'd say he deserved it with his performance in the Finals. Just remember, the media finds way's to congratulate guys that go so far. Dwyane won a title, and while Kobe was the better player, there was nothing new on him. Just the same old Kobe, knocked out in the first round. Not exciting for the media.

In 2006, Kobe was expected to miss the playoffs and finish 12th in the West. But instead while carrying a group of 3rd stringers, he led them to the 7th seed and pushed the 2nd seed to 7 games. Yet all I hear the media say is that Kobe "choked" and costed the Lakers the series.

You mean the Heat getting swept. By the way the Bulls are a great team and are probably the second best team in the East right now. Miami was plauged with injuries (Wade coming off one and still hurting during the series), and Wade did quite well despite his injury problems - averaging 24/5/6 for the series. Miami as a team wasn't clicking. It wasn't Wade who lost it for them singlehandedly, it wasn't him that got swept. If anything he kept the series more competitive than it could of been.

See that's the thing. The media likes to say that Wade single handedly carried his team to a championship. Yet when they do talk about the Heat getting swept, they'll either blame it on Wade's injury, team injuries, or on the Heat's play.

Then hate the media, and not Wade.
