Going into that series, I don't think anyone expected Kobe to make such a concerted effort to keep the ball out of Shaq's hands and chuck his team out of the series.
I was at Game 3 it was not a laugher ... they came from behind and stuck a fork in dem Lakers ... It was only like a 6 point game IIRC ... and Lakers led for a chunk of that game.
Games 4 however ...

Yeah, they were a great defensive team. As was all but every other that's won a championship the last 20 years. The other teams however didn't lack a star player and didn't have a below average offense.
I'm mentioning why they're a weak championship team. Their defense isn't a reason why they're a weak championship team, so why the would I mention it?Yeah, its dumb to mention their offense/lack of superstar but completely fail to mention that they were one of the best defensive teams of all-time. But DoK mentioned it so of course all these people agree and were thinking the same thing all along.
you're just a mav krew suckup
Pretty much every team before Walton's Blazers IMHO.
2006 Heat are severely underrated. They had Wade at his peak, a still relevant Shaq, Alonzo Mourning, Udonis Halsem, and Antonio Walker rounding out a very solid frontcourt rotation, along with Payton and Williams at the PG. Not a horrible squad by any stretch of the imagination
it was the Wade reffing catastrophe and their 2007 follow up why most people hate on em tbh
2013 Thunder
Who's the broad?
Ill tell you when the lakers get over .500
Bad Boy Pistons. Granted I grew up in the mid-late 90s, but no one seemed to remember or care about Isaiah Thomas. They were just champions because they were allowed to make basketball a giant slugfest.
1947 Philadelphia Warriors
11' championship was one of the most surprising ones in NBA history. beating portland in the first round was no surprise, then they came up as underdogs against the lakers and no one expected them to survive this, but to everyone's (excluding stretch and ghazi, of course) surprise, they swept the lakers and went on to beat OKC in the conference finals.
then it came to the finals against miami, again the mavs were widely considered the underdog and their chance started to look diminished after losing to miami in the crucial game 3. however, the mavs took advantage of miami's complacency and rescued themselves from what could've been a bitter replica of the 06' series. 11' were surely not the strongest team to win the championship in the past decade but the miami-dallas series that year was one of the classiest of all time, that's the point you want to make i guess.
2006 Heat in the last 10 years.
pistons didn't get mentioned because they were a perennial contender and one of the most consistent teams around that time imho. they continued to make the finals the right next year in 05 and only got beaten in the hands of spurs who were arguably the best team to win the NBA le in the past decade, then they made the conference finals in two consecutive years thereafter. it was like when you talked about eastern conference finals it was always the pistons vs. another team, s ing owned the east back then tbh
ESPN Dallas' MacMahon went against the Mavs that series
Of the years I watched (starting in 1995-96) the 2006 Miami Heat are the worst champions. They won the le with hero ball, and largely at the free throw line, legitimately or not. They were not the best team that year IMO, and would not have won without the NBA's slanted superstar rules.
