It's hard to overstate how awesome Wade was in leading the Heat to their lone championship, particularly in the final four games when Miami rallied from a 2-0 deficit to stun the Mavs.



Wade started the comeback by leading the Heat back from a 13-point fourth quarter deficit in Game 3, scoring 12 points in the final 6½ minutes to send the game to OT. He also made the biggest play of the series with his crazy dribbling foray to the rim at the end of overtime in Game 5 that -- controversially -- earned a whistle from referee Bennett Salvatore and a trip to the line for the winning free throws.



For the series, Wade averaged 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.7 steals -- and this in a slow-paced series (neither team cleared the century mark in regulation in any of the six games). His basket attacks were so deadly because the Mavs couldn't stop fouling him. Wade shot a whopping 97 free throws in the six games -- the most of any player since the merger -- including 25 in Game 5.



Overall, Wade's 33.8 PER is easily the best of any Finals performer since the merger. While it seems strange to have somebody besides Michael Jordan in the top spot, the truth is Jordan never dominated a Finals to this extent. At the time, many called Wade's performance Jordanesque. It turns out they might have been selling him short.

In what world is 34.7 points/7.8 rebounds/3.8 assists better than 41/8.5/6.3 and 38/16.7/2.7?

He capped it with 30 points, six rebounds, five assists and four blocks in the Game 5 clincher.



And he shared the rock, too -- Bryant averaged 7.4 assists per game for the series, helping L.A. carve up a stout Orlando defense led by Defensive Player of the Year Dwight Howard

Kobe faced the DPOY in the Dwight Howard and the number 1 ranked defensive team in the league and still dropped 32.4/5.6/7.4. He hardly got any calls in that series to top it off.

Few interesting facts about the 06 playoffs

While Wade averaged 34.67ppg 7.83reb 3.83ast and 40ppg on 51% fg form 0-2 down with the highest PER in history of finals that same year Kobe wrecked havoc on the Mavs with his epic 5-22 performance and the game he scored big vs them he had 25 yes 25 free throws in 3 quarters (I know how you Kobe fans don't count free throws) and had a FG% of 44% for the year in regular season where there is 0 INTESITY PMSL

Look at the fouls Kobe was getting vs the ones Wade was getting. Kobe was getting HACKED. They don't even compare. Kobe would have dropped 80+ on the Mavs if he played the 4th quarter. Don't ever compare that scrub to Kobe ever again.

[Legend killer]

The stats hurt I know SoBIG PMSL. Maybe we should talk Kobe shooting 38% vs Detroit in the 04 finals the same Detroit Wade bent over a year later

Kobe played the 1 number ranked defensive team every single time he went to the finals and faced the DPOY 4 times! Sixers had Mutumbo, Pistons had Ben Wallace and the Magic had Dwight Howard!

Pistons defense in 04 was GOAT level. Kobe faced them under the hand checking era. Wade faced them when hand checking was ILLEGAL.

[Legend killer]

Why did Wade have no problem bending the Pistons over???

Pistons weren't allowed to play the same type of defense that they played on Kobe. That's why.

[Legend killer]

It must hurt that even Wade's 2011 finals (where he WAS INJURED) WAS BETTER then any other Kobe finals performance according to BB pundits

I wish Kobe had faced them just a year later when the NBA made hand checking illegal. He would have murdered them.
