This is why Dwayne is the greatest Heat player of all-time, Lebron led them to 2 rings and 4 finals appearances, but this ring was their first and he put the whole franchise on his back in those last 4 games.
Nigga Please 🤣 After 06 Nigga Was An Afterthought Lol He Could’ve Been The Greatest Heat Player If He Did Again In 2011 But Cmon LeBron Got 2 MVPS 2FMVPS & 2 Rings Lol There’s No Way In Hell Wade Is The Greatest Heat Player, Get Real
Independent fact checkers found this to be unfounded. In 2006, the way the referees called the games had a much greater affect on the outcome than Wade did.
One of my favorite videos I’ve watched on YT in a little. Been saying a lot of the points you brought up for years when it came to the free-throw line merchant dialogue that constantly gets brought up anytime you mention Wade. He attacked the rim at a higher frequency than the vast majority of perimeter players in history and we’re confused as to why he generates a lot of fouls?
People foul Shaq on purpose and even he couldn't reach these free throw numbers in the playoffs. Please tell me why dwade is harder to stop than Shaq at the basket.
@@swollpenispok8172Shaq was the trickiest player to officiate in NBA History. A lot of the calls for him could easily be called Offensive Fouls against him with the constant lowering his shoulder into the defense's chest. Referees in turn sometimes opt for a no call instead due to the physical nature of his game.
It wasn't just Wade getting those calls. I'm a Heat fan and I admit this was rigged for Wade. I used to disregard the calls due to being bias, but after learning to put my bias to the side I feel unappreciated for this win. The Mavericks was the better team.
Amazing video and right on the money with everything you said. 06 finals is definitely one of the best performances I’ve ever seen and turned me into a big NBA fan
Yep, same here. The beauty of his body movement is flawless that's when I start watching NBA because of him, and then there's Jordan, Kobe, and lebron..
his peak is better than all of theirs. he isn’t just more aesthetic to watch, he simply peaked better than anyone ever. the game tape shows it. complete package on both sides of the ball.
I'm really glad you made a video on this. D-Wade is such a fun player to watch & I never understood why this Finals gets dogged on NBA Twitter. Wade had one of the greatest first steps in NBA history & the size & strength to finish through contact - and the Mavs generally slanted their lineups towards offense for most of the mid 2000's, with Dirk even playing at center in some sets. Even the basic statistics back that up - if you look at his free throws per 100 possessions they're always around where Jordan & LeBron were, around 14-15 - and with more minutes plus the Mavs' general lack of rim protection means free throw numbers in the high teens or low 20's were definitely in play. There were missed or questionable calls - there always are - but they're nearly always the exception and not the rule.
All these numbers are unnecessary. To those who know what they are looking at, d wade is better than curry. The ones who debate stuff like that use stats and need stats to tell them otherwise.
@@Jonathan-A.C. curry shoot better. Wade a better driver, passer, screener, floor general, and what casual never consider, DEFENSE!!! wade leads all guards in blocks in the history of the game. He frequently got steals, and played great help defense and on the ball defense.
@@venusspacey9685 Better driver maybe, but the difference isn’t big. Passing I would hesitate on. Screener and otherwise Rebounder and especially Defender, I agree, but overall, Curry is still better Offensively, and it’s not just because he won two MVP’s. If you look at Curry’s peak vs Wade’s (prob 2021 to 2009), I would say they’re very close or at least they’re equal. I wouldn’t say it’s wrong to say Wade is better, but it is in no way a big difference (if we’re talking just talent/skill, and not achievements). And your point is just using biased things in which Wade does better, but you can do the same for Curry. Better stamina, way better Off Ball, FAR FAR better 3pt shooter, better mid range shooter (this one is actually closer, cause Wade’s mid range game was elite at peak), better Free Throw shooter, much more overall Efficient, better Handles, etc. If you’re looking at peak, they’re a hell of a lot closer. Wade’s Defense especially is very dominant, even though peak Steph is pretty passable as a Defender at that point. But if you’re talking career and longevitity, even outside of Wade’s last 2 years but including all of Steph’s years, they’re essentially comparable, except that Steph is only going to continue doing more (if not injured) and playing at a high level, and Wade was already falling off due to the nature of his injuries in Bron’s later years in Miami (and that was only about 10 years into his career). Certainly if Steph is going to play a solid amount of games (50+, we’ll say) for the next couple seasons, he should easily outpace what Wade has done. And none of this is talking about Accolades or Achievements, so just comparing overall Skill/Talent/Impact
This was one the best performances I've ever seen. I just remember watching this entire series back when I was like 20 and was awestruck by how ridiculously easily Wade would get by defenders and how helpless they all looked haha. The weird narrative that people often spread to try and discredit this tour de force is simply a lazy take and not at all what was going on. This was a GOAT tier slasher in his prime with the entire overwhelming total package of elite strength, agility, and speed. Combine that with his determination and IQ, he just attacked relentlessly and refused to settle besides the middies when he wanted to keep a defender honest. This guy invited and seeked out contact at the rim and has something like the 20th most recorded dunks of all time. He just couldn't be stopped! Great video!
Definitely Wade in those finals was something else. Literally - something no one seen before. I am remembering now, how shocking it was to see him taking all those middies and making them, while during the season I could swear that he never took any. And that was definitely absolutely something no one was prepared for. Where that boost of skills came from? Did he call Kobe and asked for advice? However besides that - now rewatching through your videos it became so apparent that Wade was already mature and composed during that period. Also to your point of taking advantage of the rules - for me there's a major difference between Wade and guys like Harden, because I am pretty sure that Wade was manipulating rules only when it really mattered, while Harden and others do it for a living. He was named Flash not because he could beat everyone to the free-through line. :) But seriously - great video and such a sweet memory. Thank you once again.
The truth is the Mavs choked, Dirk shot 39% from the field for the series, & D-Wade took advantage by stepping on their throats through his mid range & ABILITY to get to the FT line & basket. Mavs should’ve been up 3-0, but they choked away game 3 then got blown out in game 4. It was 2-2 with no controversy at that point. But, the Mavs should’ve been up 3-1 AT LEAST. So, they just played bad especially Dirk. Speaking of, D-Wade STATISTICALLY OUTPLAYED Dirk in both finals they met in (06 & 11). Just saying.. Oh & fun fact: made FTs for the series, Heat: 125 Mavs: 122. Take that info however you want to take it. Great video though. All facts. Respect for giving D-Wade his due 💯
Trying to understand the mental gymnastics that lead to, dirk shot 39% therefore wade getting 20 FTS a game is completely normal, a feat nobody has ever done, not even Shaq.

I’ve always held the belief that while Kobe gets compared to MJ stylistically, his skillset was a lot closer to the older, 2nd 3-peat MJ. In my opinion, young DWade was the closest thing we’ve seen to late 80s Mike.
@@HoopVenuei agree . Kobe from 06-12 was 96-98 jordan clone. Everything from how his jumper looked, to his fadeaways to the post footwork was late 90s jordan. Wade and somewhat bron were late 80s jordan. The all around play, heavy slashing with midrange shooting and occasional 3 pointers, they both played similar to late 80s jordan. Id say LeBron was 89 jordan and wade was like 87 Jordan. 89 Jordan had the most drive attempts like lbj, and got a lot of triple doubles while constantly slashing while 87 jordan took a lot more mid range shots like wade.
@@bytheriverinpeace2301Early 2000s Kobe especially 2001-2003 was like 80s MJ for sure. “Kobe with no regard for human life!!!!!” Real fans remember that dunk.
a lot of people like to compare lebron or kobe to jordan, but wade was probably closer to jordan than them 2. he had the combo of quickness and strength that made him elite slasher. he didnt have jordan jumping ability or hands to palm the ball, but he made up for it with his wingspan which help him play bigger than his 6'3/6'4 frame. also 06 was around the time when no hand checking was introduced so it made perimeter players like wade unstoppable. you put smaller/quicker defender on him = he outmuscles him to the basket. you put bigger/stronger defender = he flies past by him.
Nobody is comparing Lebron to Jordan because they're similar, it's only a matter of how dominant they are at the game. Lebron's game is obviously nothing like the guards, he plays his own way.
I watched this series a few months ago and nothing seemed out of the ordinary in that series in my opinion. Yes wade got a few superstars but most of them looked legit, Dirk was terrible in that series and the Dallas made a lot of dumb decisions. The refs had nothing to do with wade hitting those clutch jump shots in game 3-5-6. Also the heat were up 20 in game 4 with wade only shooting 10 Fts.
Personally, I have a ton of respect for D.Wade and players with that old school method of playing basketball the right way. Sadly, contact sports when played the right way takes a toll in the athlete' body especially when the athlete does not engage in PED's for their rehab. This is why D. Wade eventually became injury prone due to wear and tear at the professional NBA level. Thanks for sharing your take and your research.
@leroyrobinson659 although they publicly denied this recent media reports in relation to the feedback from these athletes themselves point strongly to tje possibility of them using these substances.
Mavs couldn't guard him for shit. Wade COOKED Howard all series long and kept relentlessly attacking the net like i've never seen before since MJ 95% of his FTS all earned if you actually notice how every foul is just the same one over and over again. Mavs were undisciplined for the most part infront of Wade. Sure some few tacky calls here or there but that's part of the game
Whatever, dude. Phantom foul calls in Wade's favor AT CRUCIAL MOMENTS turned the tide of that series. Wade was good, BUT THOSE CALLS IN CRUCIAL MOMENTS WERE BS.
Exactly The meatriding and denial thatHeat fans have for this series is disgusting. Anytime Dallas makes a run to overtake them wade would quickly get sent to the line to defend their single digit leads. Aside from game 3 and 4, Mavs should have won game 5 and 6 by atleast 12 pts each game
@@ultimateyagermanfunny yall talk about wade but never decuss dirk played like ass smh dirk why dey lost don't blame one player if u match wade wit dirk mavs win but he did not stop the hating

@@qbcomicaddict2590 No actually it’s not. learn what IQ means. Sentence structure is something that’s learned and is man made. IQ short for intelligence quotient. is a number representing a person's reasoning ability (measured using problem-solving tests) as compared to the statistical norm or average for their age. Sentence structure has nothing to do with IQ. People with high IQ have the ability to manipulate there environment to there favor. Such as on the court. People like wade can manipulate the game to get free throws by know how to draw fouls. Iq comes from a person individually and how there mind works you can’t be thought that like you can be thought sentence structure is my point. I think I will live without good sentence structure, at least for today.👍
Yup Wade was literally given FTs off bare minimum contact to win game 5 at the FT line. Literally who gets FTs in the dying seconds of a game to take the lead? I never saw Bron or Kobe win a Finals game at the FT line
@ultimateyagerman the only other instance I can think of is warriors okc. Before kd lost his pride. I think they sent igoudala to the line w no time left on some bs.
@@skullyready7786 "Dallas couldn't stop him 🤥🤥🤥" They actually didnt need to if the refs let them play and let Dallas run up a double digit lead on them, casual
Are you crazy? JT and Howard literally carried Dirk in this game. JT outplayed Dirk in this series; 22/4 2stls 48% fg and was outstanding this whole playoff run and in '11. Dirk was 23/12 39% fg in this series, had some nice clutch moments but was overall pretty bad. He got absolutely CARRIED in Game 1 going 4-14 for 16 points while JT was 13-18 for 32 points.
Good video. Reminds me of what the bucks are going to do this season with DAME AND GIANNIS!!! With Middleton and brook, they cannot be stopped offensively!!! Our D will slip a little but will still be top 10… rim protection is key and we still have that. Have 4 bigs that are SOLID. Which the Celtics do NOT have.
I watched the series live. Every single game. Was in the 8th grade. They were fouling the shit outta D Wade. Also. A lotta fouls they ain’t call. They were landing in D wades air space consistently
Damn you’re telling me probably the best slashing guard ever had a statistical anomaly? What’s next a 6’3 waffle skinned guy single handedly changes court spacing and how we view three balls for the foreseeable future of the game of basketball ?
Nope. Most rigged series ever won't ever change my mind. No player should ever average more free throws individually than an entire team. Bullshit. Overrated wade owes the much better dirk his 2nd ring. And i like wade and everything no hate just hate the rigged nonsense. Anything that can be bet and wagered on has the capability of being rigged. Sorry you guys don't want to believe ot just because you wish to stay in denial. It's all the big sports leagues too, not just nba. They've literally come out and said it themselves. "We're not a sports industry, we're an entertainment industry
Dwade finished top 5 in total dunks in the 05-06 season. Only other players with more were Dwight, Shaq, Shawn Marion and Melo. Lebron had 114. Combine this with having Iverson like speed, quickness, agilty and first step. Dude was a MUTANT. And no Kobe fan, dude was not in Wade league as an athlete (yes, I saw Frobe, I'm 42)
Slashers will always shoot more free throws than less athletic shooters. Mavs were setlling for a lot of junpers after going up 2-0 they must've felt like it was over, got complacent while wade got hungry and aggressive. If one guy is driving in 12-15 times and your best player is driving in 6-7 times, sorry but the slasher will shoot more free throws. He was making mavs bigs make a decision to try and block his layups or let him get the 2 points. He wasn't throwing his arms into the defenders like a james harden to draw fouls, he was just attacking strong, straight line drives into the paint that made dirk and dampier look slow and because of their lack of foot speed, his euro steps, hop steps and spinning layups made them have to foul him in order to stop him.
Drawing shooting fouls when they shouldn’t be called is a skill, but there’s a sequence of fouls calls in Game 5 and 6 that are suspect, and you showed just 1 of them. In fact it’s probably the worst one in Game 6, yet you explained it away as him drawing contact as he extends his forearm and pushes Dirk with it from 1-2’ away. Dallas blew multiple chances to win the series, but this one will always have an * by it because of Donaghy and those phantom fouls in Game 5 & 6. Not to mention the absurd suspension of Stackhouse for a hard foul on Shaq that wasn’t worthy of a series altering decision by the league.
They had to let him shoot free theirs because his jumper was suspect, this was 100% rigged. As a Dallas native and diehard mavericks fan I was crushed by how the calls completely determined the outcome
Yea it’s crazy how many points a guy can score when he gets touch fouls all day and jumps into defenders 😂 Dirks career is twice as legendary as this sidekick
The refs saved the mavericks from winning their first chip they were way better than Miami and they all thought the series was over game 3 then the whistles started blowing and the rest was history
Mavs simply collapses their defense because of that one man. Double or tripple team wouldn't work against this guy. He just too good to fast and super high IQ.
Why isn’t the first part of this video stating it was rigged? The refs handed them this series and Tim Donaghy came right out and told us after he was charged. Don’t lie to the people! Give the refs their flowers I guess….
It started way before that , go watch the eastern conference finals when they played the Pistons 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️, they we’re getting bailed out with some bullshit calls all game
The nba is rigged bro they gave this ring to wade and shaq in spite of Kobe because the elites wanted Gigi and as yu can see wade gave his child Zaya to the elites willingly… Kobe the only guy to win w/o a top 75 player and against the elites nba script
Love your videos bro, but i think you should speak in a more normal tone to differentiate yourself. Right now you're sounding too much like thinking basketball.
Yea proof it nobody on Dallas could guard wade stop all the crying dirk 38 pct why they lost the series ref didn't make dirk not counter wade scoring smh
Mavs where worried about Shaq. Shaqs man can't help at all. All wade does is play off that. Mavs don't have the size on the perimeter to check wade nor the speed to help on his drives. By game 2/3 heat realized let wade eat. Mavs weakness all year was they struggled with big scoring guards. They got lit up by pretty much every G/F premier scorer.

a lot of people like to compare lebron or kobe to jordan, but wade was probably closer to jordan than them 2. he had the combo of quickness and strength that made him elite slasher. he didnt have jordan jumping ability or hands to palm the ball, but he made up for it with his wingspan which help him play bigger than his 6'3/6'4 frame. also 06 was around the time when no hand checking was introduced so it made perimeter players like wade unstoppable. you put smaller/quicker defender on him = he outmuscles him to the basket. you put bigger/stronger defender = he flies past by him.
Nobody is comparing Lebron to Jordan because they're similar, it's only a matter of how dominant they are at the game. Lebron's game is obviously nothing like the guards, he plays his own way.

Welcome!
I watched this series a few months ago and nothing seemed out of the ordinary in that series in my opinion.
Yes wade got a few superstars but most of them looked legit, Dirk was terrible in that series and the Dallas made a lot of dumb decisions. The refs had nothing to do with wade hitting those clutch jump shots in game 3-5-6. Also the heat were up 20 in game 4 with wade only shooting 10 Fts.
Personally, I have a ton of respect for D.Wade and players with that old school method of playing basketball the right way. Sadly, contact sports when played the right way takes a toll in the athlete' body especially when the athlete does not engage in PED's for their rehab. This is why D. Wade eventually became injury prone due to wear and tear at the professional NBA level.
Thanks for sharing your take and your research.
And then Peds and stem cell therapy is why bron is still playing
@leroyrobinson659 although they publicly denied this recent media reports in relation to the feedback from these athletes themselves point strongly to tje possibility of them using these substances.
Another big thing is knew surgery even back then were so much worse you were just fillet this was before arthroscopic camera to find the correct spot
I APPROVE THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE✊
Glad to hear it!
How’d you get suspended from Twitter 😢
Pretty sure my account got botted, trying to get it back though.
Mavs couldn't guard him for shit. Wade COOKED Howard all series long and kept relentlessly attacking the net like i've never seen before since MJ
95% of his FTS all earned if you actually notice how every foul is just the same one over and over again. Mavs were undisciplined for the most part infront of Wade. Sure some few tacky calls here or there but that's part of the game
No my friend you won't mess up my childhood memory of Dwyane Wade. Still to this day the greatest NBA Finals performance
This is a positive video about Flash!!
Lmfaoo I hate how old 2006 looks. Good video man!
DWade 'Draw Foul' attributes were just on 99 during the 2006 Finals🤷🏿♂️😂
great video... well done sir
Thank you!
Whatever, dude. Phantom foul calls in Wade's favor AT CRUCIAL MOMENTS turned the tide of that series. Wade was good, BUT THOSE CALLS IN CRUCIAL MOMENTS WERE BS.
Exactly
The meatriding and denial thatHeat fans have for this series is disgusting.
Anytime Dallas makes a run to overtake them wade would quickly get sent to the line to defend their single digit leads.
Aside from game 3 and 4, Mavs should have won game 5 and 6 by atleast 12 pts each game
Which ones?
Yeah do they exist?
@@ultimateyagermanfunny yall talk about wade but never decuss dirk played like ass smh dirk why dey lost don't blame one player if u match wade wit dirk mavs win but he did not stop the hating
They was fouls phantom calls smh they foul him he was to fast for Dallas u guys cry to much being up 2-0 is a dame shame no talk why game 3 even got close huh ?? No talk of dirk miss free throw smh yall juz haters Dallas was up 13 and let wade bring the heat back
Not even halfway in and you got a sub from me! Lol this is amazing 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!!
Thank you for covering my guy bruh. You earned a sub from me
DWade has always been my favorite player he is easily the 3rd greatest SG in NBA history and honestly nothing pisses me off more than how casuals try and downplay how good he was
beautiful video
Glad you enjoyed!
this is when Wade county was born
This game was so badly rigged that it is laughable !!!! it’s like a comedy.
Great video. Any plans to make one on the 2002 WCF too lol, thats the other series that always seems to come up when people talk about rigging
What happened in that series?
@@holdmyweight3597 Supposedly the refs rigged it so the Lakers would win
Fans sweep this under the rug.
Dwade is the most athletic sg of all time
Michael Jordan like a 4.3 and had a 48in vert
@@admincxs1670 dwade was faster stronger than mj
In fact, Wade had more dunks and blocks than Jordan while playing less games. Wade was more physical. @@admincxs1670

Thank you bro, that wa nice
Dwade was known for his ability to draw fouls. People for thats a skill it’s not just the refs giving calls. It’s a IQ thing. They just mad they lost
Sentence structure is also an IQ thing.
@@qbcomicaddict2590 No actually it’s not. learn what IQ means. Sentence structure is something that’s learned and is man made. IQ short for intelligence quotient. is a number representing a person's reasoning ability (measured using problem-solving tests) as compared to the statistical norm or average for their age. Sentence structure has nothing to do with IQ. People with high IQ have the ability to manipulate there environment to there favor. Such as on the court. People like wade can manipulate the game to get free throws by know how to draw fouls. Iq comes from a person individually and how there mind works you can’t be thought that like you can be thought sentence structure is my point. I think I will live without good sentence structure, at least for today.👍
Game 3 was a two pointt game and wade shot 18 fts.
Game 5 was a one point game and wade shot 25 fts, the same amount as the entire Mavs team.
Yup
Wade was literally given FTs off bare minimum contact to win game 5 at the FT line.
Literally who gets FTs in the dying seconds of a game to take the lead?
I never saw Bron or Kobe win a Finals game at the FT line
@ultimateyagerman the only other instance I can think of is warriors okc. Before kd lost his pride. I think they sent igoudala to the line w no time left on some bs.
@@ultimateyagerman don't foul he getting foul Dallas couldn't stop him

Clearly you dont play basketball
@@skullyready7786 "Dallas couldn't stop him 🤥🤥🤥"
They actually didnt need to if the refs let them play and let Dallas run up a double digit lead on them, casual
Dirk taking absolute garbage teams for a ride to the finals twice
Are you crazy? JT and Howard literally carried Dirk in this game. JT outplayed Dirk in this series; 22/4 2stls 48% fg and was outstanding this whole playoff run and in '11.
Dirk was 23/12 39% fg in this series, had some nice clutch moments but was overall pretty bad. He got absolutely CARRIED in Game 1 going 4-14 for 16 points while JT was 13-18 for 32 points.
Good video. Reminds me of what the bucks are going to do this season with DAME AND GIANNIS!!! With Middleton and brook, they cannot be stopped offensively!!! Our D will slip a little but will still be top 10… rim protection is key and we still have that. Have 4 bigs that are SOLID. Which the Celtics do NOT have.
Dwade and Kobe probably had the highest IQ in the league at time...i seen them do things i haven't seen yet..
You should breakdown more old series
Deception is a skill
10:23 That "beautiful counterspin" is a travel. Can you count to three?
I watched the series live. Every single game. Was in the 8th grade. They were fouling the shit outta D Wade. Also. A lotta fouls they ain’t call. They were landing in D wades air space consistently
Goat wade
No amount of explanation can explain 16 free throws a game. Tim told yal the truth, it was rigged. I watched it live game for game
Facts.hurts me until this day
Damn you’re telling me probably the best slashing guard ever had a statistical anomaly? What’s next a 6’3 waffle skinned guy single handedly changes court spacing and how we view three balls for the foreseeable future of the game of basketball ?
Dwade is the 2nd best slashing guard behind jordan they couldn't stop him so they foulded him 16 times a game wasn't rigged
Shit was rigged. I watched the whole series. Yal are I'm denial
@@donovancrain534your grammar is in denial.
Nope. Most rigged series ever won't ever change my mind. No player should ever average more free throws individually than an entire team. Bullshit. Overrated wade owes the much better dirk his 2nd ring. And i like wade and everything no hate just hate the rigged nonsense. Anything that can be bet and wagered on has the capability of being rigged. Sorry you guys don't want to believe ot just because you wish to stay in denial. It's all the big sports leagues too, not just nba. They've literally come out and said it themselves. "We're not a sports industry, we're an entertainment industry
Dwade finished top 5 in total dunks in the 05-06 season. Only other players with more were Dwight, Shaq, Shawn Marion and Melo. Lebron had 114.
Combine this with having Iverson like speed, quickness, agilty and first step.
Dude was a MUTANT.
And no Kobe fan, dude was not in Wade league as an athlete (yes, I saw Frobe, I'm 42)
Slashers will always shoot more free throws than less athletic shooters. Mavs were setlling for a lot of junpers after going up 2-0 they must've felt like it was over, got complacent while wade got hungry and aggressive. If one guy is driving in 12-15 times and your best player is driving in 6-7 times, sorry but the slasher will shoot more free throws. He was making mavs bigs make a decision to try and block his layups or let him get the 2 points. He wasn't throwing his arms into the defenders like a james harden to draw fouls, he was just attacking strong, straight line drives into the paint that made dirk and dampier look slow and because of their lack of foot speed, his euro steps, hop steps and spinning layups made them have to foul him in order to stop him.
I see a lot of DWade in Jaylen Brown
Jaylen cant even dribble like Dwade. And not as explosive as him. Edwards and mitchell are the closest because of that first step and finishing
I can see a lot of Jalen Brown in d Wade
Drawing shooting fouls when they shouldn’t be called is a skill, but there’s a sequence of fouls calls in Game 5 and 6 that are suspect, and you showed just 1 of them. In fact it’s probably the worst one in Game 6, yet you explained it away as him drawing contact as he extends his forearm and pushes Dirk with it from 1-2’ away.
Dallas blew multiple chances to win the series, but this one will always have an * by it because of Donaghy and those phantom fouls in Game 5 & 6.
Not to mention the absurd suspension of Stackhouse for a hard foul on Shaq that wasn’t worthy of a series altering decision by the league.
The most athletic player gets more calls especially if he drives to the basket alot
They had to let him shoot free theirs because his jumper was suspect, this was 100% rigged. As a Dallas native and diehard mavericks fan I was crushed by how the calls completely determined the outcome
Anyone who hates on Wade for that 1st ship is a Dallas fan or their team got beaten by the heat that year cuz they had no answer for D Wade... period
Do d rose please
Yea it’s crazy how many points a guy can score when he gets touch fouls all day and jumps into defenders 😂 Dirks career is twice as legendary as this sidekick
He's like the tmac or penny that made it. With help/help, great player though
Penny had help, they just ran into Hakeem.
06 Dwade is very similar to Kyrie 2016
The refs saved the mavericks from winning their first chip they were way better than Miami and they all thought the series was over game 3 then the whistles started blowing and the rest was history
Dude stop lying game 3 wade took less free throws smh yall are liars dirk miss a key one at the end stop lying
Mavs simply collapses their defense because of that one man. Double or tripple team wouldn't work against this guy. He just too good to fast and super high IQ.
Why isn’t the first part of this video stating it was rigged? The refs handed them this series and Tim Donaghy came right out and told us after he was charged. Don’t lie to the people! Give the refs their flowers I guess….
rigged
Mid range game is dying 😢
3rd Best shooting guard of all time no doubt 🔥🔥🔥
Next do Steph Curry’s game 4 finals
Truth is it was a total rig job by the officials.
This finals was rigged by the NBA and it propelled Wade's artificial stardom. Mavs 2006 champs.
It started way before that , go watch the eastern conference finals when they played the Pistons 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️, they we’re getting bailed out with some bullshit calls all game
Huh? Wade avg 27 on 62% in that series, he DOMINATED them dudes.
The nba is rigged bro they gave this ring to wade and shaq in spite of Kobe because the elites wanted Gigi and as yu can see wade gave his child Zaya to the elites willingly… Kobe the only guy to win w/o a top 75 player and against the elites nba script
W
Rigged especially game 5 nobody should be taking 20+ free throws a game
Love your videos bro, but i think you should speak in a more normal tone to differentiate yourself. Right now you're sounding too much like thinking basketball.

That finals was fishy. The refs sent Wade to the foul line to boost the heat

Why because D wade is a legend 😂
GREATEST FINALS PERFORMANCE EVER
Mavs where worried about Shaq. Shaqs man can't help at all. All wade does is play off that. Mavs don't have the size on the perimeter to check wade nor the speed to help on his drives. By game 2/3 heat realized let wade eat. Mavs weakness all year was they struggled with big scoring guards. They got lit up by pretty much every G/F premier scorer.
Rigged ass finals
