How much credit does this guy get?

Admittingly I watched spot minutes here and there but everytime I did tune in - it seemed like Shane was swishing 3s, making big time plays, or getting under Westbrook's skin.

Battier came up HUGE in the Finals! He's a big reason the Heat are champions tonight!

he upgraded our D to another level despite not having good stats himself. his stats are never that impressive and that's a good reason why he's probably the most underrated defender in NBA history, but his influence is so HUGE you just can't overlook it tbh

Who would have ever guessed that a classball player like Shane would be carried to the promised land by monkey ball?

58% from 3point land (averaged 3 made per game) at in the finals after shooting just 34% in regular season. Wonder who they're going to sign for Tax payer MLE this year..

Great line ... El. :lol
But as much as I cant stand Battier he was the third most reliable player for the Heat. He played great defense, made plenty of hustle plays, he took a charge in every game, and hit most of his open shots, he even snuck in a few drives. I wanted him on the Lakers but he had such a crappy regular season I thought I was crazy. Even in the playoffs ... he was just mehhh ...but in the Finals he was Horryesque ...

Bosh, Lebron, and Wade are douchebags but Battier is a good player, plays defense, and not a diva or spoiled brat. He played on some shitty teams and finally paid his dues.
