Last night was Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the series was tied 2 wins for the Dallas Mavericks, 2 wins for the Miami Heat. The Game was close for the first half until Dallas inched ahead at the half 51-43. Miami Heat Star Dwyane Wade #3 had been contained slightly, but being a Heat fan myself it was fun to watch the last period as D-Wade ate up an 11 point Dallas lead and tied the game at 91-91 with 2.8 seconds left. We headed into overtime that way and that was where the awesomeness of the game really happened. It would go Dallas scores, then the Heat score and with 9.8 left Dallas was ahead 100-99, the heat had the ball. Of course the ball went to D-Wade, and he made his way through coverage of four defenders to the hoop... but missed the layup, but he got fouled with 1.9 left in OT. The first one was as good as gold; nothing but net. So if he made this one, Dallas had a time-out if he scored, and if he didn't score they had a time-out. For some reason, Dallas Forward, Josh Howard #5 called time-out before D-Wade had his second free-throw. That was it, no more Dallas time-outs. D-Wade sunk the free-throw and the Heat won, and are now up in the series 3-2, after starting 0-2.
One last Question... Who the heck is Michael Jordan? D-Wade is so much better.

.................... D-Wade hasn't led his team to 6 championship victories, as far as I know. MJ's getting old, but back in his day nobody could touch him. Nobody. I'm no b-ball fan, but I've seen him play plenty of times and he's just the most complete player out of anybody as far as I'm concerned. Plus he starred in Space Jam, which is one of my favorite movies. He's better because he's in a Looney Toons movie okay? XP
Note D-Wade missed the layup... kinda ironic saying he's far better when he misses. Not that you aren't allowed to miss every now and then, just ironic all the same.

He missed the lay-up because he was fouled. And NOW, D-Wade is a Champ. Miami won game 6 last night 95-92. Wade finished with the highest point avg. (34.7) for a player in their first NBA Finals since Rick Barry of 1967, when there were only three games played instead of 7. D-Wade exceeded Michael Jordan's avg by 2.9 pts and he also became the first player in Finals history to score 40+ pts. at least three times. (Note: Rick Barry did that in two games)
D-Wade for one is faster than MJ was, from what I've seen with Pat Riley as coach, Shaq as his mentor, as well as Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning, he's got more potential than Jordan. He has a STRICT work-ethic and he also has a lot more talent than Jordan did; as far as natural gifting it seems. If you compare the two at the same age, D-Wade has already exceeded Jordan.

*shrug* meh fine. Here's me caring... or not.
He can be better if he wants. Rocking. Whoop-de-doo-da. I'm not into basketball so it doesn't matter either way to me.
