nothing to do with this thread though since if one of the three was replaced by lebron, there would be a gap.

^ but Fisher instead of Kobe and Haslem instead of Wade would work!

Just goes to show you how tough it is to get to the Finals, that three teams can dominate the game for the past 16 seasons. Is this the season where we have two new Finals participants or do the Spurs and TD continue to cheat Father Time and continue the streak? My hopes are on the latter.

Less than impressive when you consider that Wade was never the man.

Kobe and Duncan are what make the list impressive.....more Duncan.

Wade was definitely "the man" in 2006 for the Heat. Even though I thought he got some favorable calls against the Mavs. I'd also say he was right there with LeBron for their first two finals together. The last two, not so much, however Duncan was there with him for the last two finals, solidifying the streak.
