DIRK!

Let it be known now and forever, Dirk Nowitzki is clutch.

After one of the best playoffs ever I really hope the players and owners don't screw it up with a lockout. With the NFL on strike you could easily make the argument that the NBA is the best in American sports right now.

Great series - Greater outcome, I'm wondering just what Wade thinks of LeBron about now.

best what? Professional Basketball Association? i'd have to agree with that
the league however is a joke. they need to get rid of guaranteed contracts so you dont have teams trading a superstar for a few corpses with expiring contracts so they can clear cap room next year

salaries aren't the problem
dumbass GM's giving them out are the problem

but prepare for a lockout, this one will be longer than football.

I'm thinking the same thing. Wade's smart and you can tell every time Lebron answers questions with I'm awesome and you're not Wade's biting his tongue.

They need to get a better coach in Miami for sure. Spoelstra brings nothing to the table but ego patting, which Lebron doesn't need anymore of. I still think they made it to the finals despite him and as a Bulls fan hope that they keep him around for awhile so they don't live up to their potential. Chalmers should have started all season and Eddie House should have played way more minutes than he ever did to stretch the floor for Wade and Lebron to attack the rim. A super overvalued defense during the regular season and no legitimate good PG or C hurt them for sure.

Funny now that Miami can be labeled as a great team during the regular season who just can't get it done in the playoffs (like the Mavs were).

I don't give a flip about the NBA, but LeBron / Heat jokes are too much fun.

Today, the city of Miami declared it LeBron James day. All employees get to stop working 12 minutes early.
LeBron has inked a new sponsorship deal with Tampax for their new line of super-pads. They are good for 3 periods.

Michael Jordan points in Finals games:
36,33,29,28,30,39,39,26,32,46,33,31,42,44,55,41,33,28,29,36,23,26,22,31,38,26,22,38,38,33,37,24,34,28,45

So when will they stop the comparisons? I can't believe what a mental midget this guy is... so physically talented and gifted and such a pansy... Lolbron.

Rashard Lewis is the problem
