Plus finals MVP makes people think dumb things....like Billups was the Pistons' alpha dog in 2004 when they didn't have an alpha dog.
Cool story....

And yeah Parkers' 4 game stretch against maybe the worst team to ever make the finals led to him being grossly overrated and some people even being re ed saying he was the Spurs' MVP in 2007.
You really should consider letting the PG thing go.
Why would I do that when the Heat are about to prove it right once again?
I'm not saying they are wrong but they are over-rated. The Spurs toughest series in 07 was the Suns and Duncan dominated that series.. He was the best player for 3 rounds of the 4 played.. Finals were easy that year..
Finals MVP is not a Conn Smythe Trophy last I checked...
He has hardware to prove it. Steve Nash was the 2 time league MVP (b2b).
You are having a hard time hoeing this PG row.
I thought Tim should've been MVP in 07 Finals as well, just as I thought Artest should've been Finals MVP last year.
MVP is a regular season award. I agree PGs are just as important as any other position during the regular season.
In fact, if your goal is to dominate the regular season then lose in the playoffs, building your team around a PG is maybe the best possible way to accomplish said goal.
How? If you put the best player from any three teams in the league onto the same team, you don't really need a strong PG.
Also, the heat acquired Mike Bibby for a reason.
A strong PG doesn't make a team weak. Your logic is incredibly flawed in suggesting it does, and you are once again relying on evidence that doesn't support your stance.
If Derrick Rose was at Dallas, do you think the Heat would beat Dallas? How about Steve Nash? Dallas has lost close games where a solid PG would have made a big difference.
I think you're entirely misinterpreting what he meant by that. I also have to assume you're very bitter. What he meant was, he didn't want to be the only player on the team worth a damn. Constantly having to carry a lottery team to the best record in the league. He needed to be with players that could actually play.
The Bulls aren't better than the Mavs...please stop drinking the regular season kool-aid.
Also look at who Chicago beat in the playoffs. Any team in the WC playoffs except NOH would've beaten ATL and IND like a redheaded stepchild
Well, you know what they say about assumptions.
You also don't want a PG keeping the ball out of Wade and Lebron's hands.
that's your argument? A washed up Mike Bibby?
The last 20 years support my stance. My stance is that you can't win a championship with a team built around a PG.
Derrick Rose would be the Robin, but no I'd still take Miami.
Series is not over yet.. If Bron averages 25 a game on 50% does he really deserve to take in winning the
What else is there to assume when you're saying the best player in the league, who carried the team on his back into the NBA finals(Wade played god awful in the Bulls series), and now is still playing excellent, can't be the man.
You know Magic won 5 but was not finals MVP all 5 times.
Derek Fisher
BJ Armstrong
Kenny Smith

That really makes no sense. The playoffs are just a series of games against regular season teams. The Spurs have proven that a solid PG does wonders for the team in the Finals. Detroit did the same thing. Your evidence against that is an absurdly stacked team like the Heat, the Lakers with Kobe and Shaq, and MJ/Pippen. Each of these teams had PGs, but those PGs didn't dominate the court like the top 5 in the league does.
Now you do have a point if you say money is better spent on other positions and leave the PG weaker as the PG doesn't normally rebound the ball or defend the paint.
I would not want Rose taking shots away from Dirk. If he had a pass first mindset, he would fit in with Dirk, but he loves to chuck. I'm not saying Dallas wouldn't be better, but having Rose isn't necessarily the solution.
I'd definitely take the Hornets over ATL and IND.
He doesn't want to be the man. He has all but said as much, repeatedly.
