LeBron is going back to Cleveland

[GrayStangGT]

ESPN did a story a while back saying he wants to be the 1st player to make $1billion.

Hasn't Micheal Jordan already reached that.

And Magic.

He won one against a younger Dirk fronting a better Mavs team, and without LJ or CB.

Wade didn't win a goddamn thing. Those refs served that shit up on a platter. And with no cameras around, I guarangoddamntee you that Wade will admit it too.

If Bosh doesn't take the Rockets' max offer now, he's dumb.

Wade did have a past his prime Shaq who I thought performed decently. Certainly I thought Wade was in his prime at that time and that the Mavs got screwed by some controversial plays.

The Wiki.

And the Game 5 controversy.

Officiating Controversies: With 9.1 seconds left in overtime and the Heat trailing by 1 point, they inbounded the ball to Wade, who caught the ball in the air and then landed in the backcourt. Mavericks' team owner Mark Cuban felt Wade had therefore committed a backcourt violation after receiving the ball.

Dallas was then penalized with an incredibly controversial foul call (known later as "the phantom foul") that sent Wade to the line to shoot the game-tying and game-winning free throws with 1.9 seconds left on the overtime game clock. Wade hit the first free throw when Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson signaled to Josh Howard to call a timeout after Wade's second attempt. Howard mimicked Johnson, in order to clarify the coach's orders, and Josh Howard was mistakenly awarded the Mavericks' last remaining time-out, which prevented them from advancing the ball should Wade convert on the second attempt. Wade eventually made the second free throw to give his team a one-point lead after which Devin Harris attempted and missed a hail-mary half-court shot as time expired. Wade set an NBA Finals record for most made free throws in a game with 21.[6]

After the game, a frustrated Dirk Nowitzki kicked a ball into the stands and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban caused many "acts of misconduct" resulting in fines of $5,000 and $250,000, respectively, for the two men.[7]

Some info I copied and pasted from the interweb.

Wade's 42pt game 3, 36pt game 4, 43pt game 5, and 36pt game 6 turned the series around, he basically singlehandedly took the series over after the Heat went down 2-0 against the Mavs. In games 3-6 Wade averaged 39.25ppg on 51%fg.

Wade played fantastic basketball the entire playoff run, Shaq was in "past his prime" beast mode vs Chicago/Detroit.
