No, sorry. I guess you could research it on the Information Superhighway.

Not fully researched but a good first pass for the Heat Finals experience:
Players
Shaquille O'Neal (6th trip)
Steve Smith (2nd trip)
Shandon Anderson (2nd trip)
Staff
Bob McAdoo (5th trip, 1st as coach, 4 as Laker player)
Ron Culp, trainer (2nd trip at least)

I think that's it as far as players go. I thought maybe Eddie Jones, but he only was in LA until 1999.

I'm surprized that Mouse hasn't hedged his bet with a Pistons identity. One thing for sure - no way the heat win their series now, mouse is on board.

Gregg Popovich (3rd trip)

Brett Brown (3rd trip)
Mike Brungardt (3rd trip)
Will Sevening (3rd trip)
Joe Gutzwiller (2nd trip)
PJ Carlesimo (2nd trip)

Notice that the players with Finals experience are all starters except for Robert Horry, who closes-out every game for the Spurs. The only coach without experience in the Finals is Don Newman.

The Pistons obviously have recent Finals experience.
The Heat only has 1 player in the normal rotation with Finals experience. Shaq. Shandon Anderson last went to the Finals in 97 with Utah and Steve Smith last went in 03 with the Spurs.

Their trainer and Bob McAdoo are the only coaching staff members with Finals experience (although Riley in the FO has plenty).
