The only one getting robbed here is Wade, of votes rightfully cast.
Well it's not like the time Wade robbed the Mavs of the 06 title with all those free throws.
Those were earned.
It was the perfect storm for Wade. The Mavs strategy was to foul Shaq every time he got the ball down low. For some reason Avery Johnson was determined that Shaq wasn't going to beat them. Once the Heat were in the bonus, which was usually very early, Riley went away from Shaq and let Wade go to work. The Mavs didn't have anyone who could stay in front of Wade so they fouled him a lot. Plus the league had really been cracking down on handchecking that year. It all resulted in a ton of FTs.

That's just your homerism talking but Dirk got his revenge in 2011.

Oh that's garbage. People who talk like that usually didn't actually even watch the 2006 Finals and are just Heat haters.

He does not belong within reaching distance of this spot, and I implore all Wade voters to look to Sir Charles in the next round.
I'll go along with that. I think elmouse03 knows his hoops but I really don't understand his fascination with Zeke this early. It's kind of dumb frankly.

From 88-91 he beat the #1, #4, and #6 guys on this list. The #4 guy was playing with #3 guy on this list at the time. The #6 guy played on the greatest front line ever and the #1 guy had the greatest pure #2 option ever and maybe the most complete player to ever play the game on both sides of the ball. Isiah did have some good teammates around him to help him beat those guys but he didn't have what those guys had around them at the time he beat them. He was the best player and leader of those teams as well. Stats don't match up to Wade in some areas of course but what Isiah did that I mentioned cannot be overlooked.
These should be anonymous polls, so people aren't influenced by others votes. Also, no one should be allowed to 'change' their vote after they can see an undesirable result coming in their eyes.

Let me get on my laptop.
Fine
I'm just saying that this one has been up for over 2 days now and Wade at this point has a decent lead if the votes were all counted. Time to wind it down.

I think we went over this already. At least the 2nd one.

Wasn't saying "Fine" to that. Was saying it to y2k getting on his laptop.
