You are once again ignoring key points I've made in my previous post about Wade not being that type of scorer anymore. Come on.
Shaq back in 2006 was so much better than Bosh right now, it should make your head spin. James Posey was younger and had some explosiveness back then and wasn't out of shape like he was now. Shaq said it himself- 'if we don't have Posey, we don't win that title.' And he was a rugged and tough defender. Antoine Walker was always overrated. But he was a formidable bench player to spark them. Udonis Haslem is still on the Heat, and is their best rebounder. But he will be marginalized here in 2011 due to Bosh's presense. Jason Williams and even an old Gary Payton were not scrubs. Alonzo Mourning was still a force to be reckoned with... without him, they don't win that '06 title.
All of that is great, my point was they won a title using the Atlanta Hawks offense...that was all, why the damn roll call? I know the roster, and don't agree with your assessments of some of them, but it doesn't matter. The central player was Wade. And in the finals, that is who got the ball every possession. And isolated on every possession damn near. That was their gameplan. I am not talking about the season. I am talking about the NBA finals. He beat a team singlehandedly using that style.
