05 playoffs exposed SNAQ's real impact on the Heat

[PJR]

posters who clearly never watched the 2006 finals straight reaching and throwing myths around. as a basketball purist,i hate seeing it.

The only idiot here throwing myths around here is you clown.

Talking about Wade didn't lead the Heat in 2006. When ALL the objective pieces of information (the NUMBERS) say otherwise.

Shut the f*ck up.

[tpols]

If someone's trolling you you can just ignore them.. anyone saying 2006 shaq is better than 2006 wade is trolling and probably isn't convincing anyone .

funny, because he didn't even have wade in his top 60 the other night. putting your biases aside: mourning, wade and shaq, when he wasnt playing for the heat, ALL thought differently - and those 3 were BY FAR the most important heat players during their championship run.

lol at shaq though. GOAT comedian

dont forget that shaq drew all the double teams, was the teams best defender and rebounder. his impact goes well beyond his ppg output.

you remove shaq in 2005, and the heat probably dont even make the playoffs.

yep 2005 shaq actually cared about his team. 2004 shaq for the most part during the regular season didn't really bother getting in shape.

it's a common myth that shaq was "lazy" in 2004. the lakers, led by shaq, made the finals and had homecourt advantage (only to lose it because of kobe's selfish play). shaq dominated ben wallace to the tune of 26ppg on 60% shooting. he also grabbed ~12 rebounds per and played quality defense throughout.

shaq's work ethic and longevity are massively underrated, if anything.
