Still can't give Shaq the credit? He took Miami from a good team and made them Champs. That's a leader.
it was kinda cool to see Riley up there, giving his speech, kinda' took me back to the Lakers 80's days for a quick sec
^forreal. wade is sick, but miss me with all this 'wade/lebron are as good as kobe' talkprops to d-wade tho. i wanted dallas to win, but wade played his ass off and he EARNED the finals mvp award.
kobe is the best ....but that doesn't mean he's DIVINE

That's a leader.holy shit the ONE person that agrees me is sgv.lol anyways NIK i got to call you out on this :Quoteit was kinda cool to see Riley up there, giving his speech, kinda' took me back to the Lakers 80's days for a quick secdude IIIIIIIII barley remember the pat riley lakers , you're like 3 years younger than me, no?congrats to the heat, they deserved this championshipanyone complaining about foul calls is a punk, seriously a championship team finds a way around that, a real championship team doesn't blow big leads and squanders time outs and open shots. a real championship team doesn't lose 4 straight. and anyone who discredits shaq is a bigger punk, seriously, the heat got rid of a good chunk of their roster for just him and look at the difference, a CHAMPIONSHIP. dr. bus should fire mitch as soon as he can then resign his ownership of the lakers, cuz this just proved how big of a mistake it was not keeping shaq. i'm glad shaq got his ring. dude deserves it. IMO this is the Swan Song of the last of the REAL centers, shaq and ZO...after them it's just a bunch of tall shooting guards who fold under pressure. i'm not going to run around saying shaq deserved MVP consideration, i think wade derserved that 200%, but i strongly beleive you can't say the heat would have gotten this far with lamar odom, caron butler, and brian grant. "when the heat lose this series shaq will be remembered for his bad work ethic" i beleive that's what NIK said .....well to rebuttle thatthe heat won this series and shaq will be remembered as the most valuable center of all time, and it can strongly can be argued he can be considered the best.

Come on now, we all know DAMN well Riley and Wade and even the addition of all those hungry role players had a LOT more to do with them winning the championship...He just won a title, most likely his last, and in that elation (and relief that it actually happened) Shaq heaped praise on the people that won it for him. With that, he said something very disgusting..."Pat Riley is the greatest coach I've ever had"After all Phil has done for Shaq, pushed him when he needed pushing, got him to his peak, he was his "white father", he allowed him to take those "in the middle of the season injury vacations" each and every season without much to say, let the offense run through him when he wanted it, lead him to 3 straight championships, MVPs, the man did more for Shaq than Riley could dream of...And after all that, he's still making those childish remarks for his vindication...Shaq is an embarrasment.

BUT wade is in the same "elite class" of players that kobe is in. players who are above superstar status. only players like kobe and wade could go to the NBA finals and average 40 plus , and draw calls in their favor

LMFAO. Dude, do we watch the same NBA? Are you sure you're not a Heat fan convert?
