    Does not matter. DWade did all by himself what LeBron could not and was afraid to continue trying to do. Win a Championship. Shaq and Alonzo were over the hill. DWade had an historic effort to win a championship. Thats why LeBron made his decission to come to DWades team.

    Right, does not matter because your gonna hate no matter what. Shaq was still an all NBA first team that year miami won. The best player lebron had while he was with the cavs was mo freaking williams.

    Bingo! 2006 DWade during the finals was off the charts and he carried that team into the finals. Shaq was clearly riding Wade to his 4th ring. Pretty much like Lebron is now.

    Really now.

    So before it was "lol david stern and the refs gave that ring to Wade"

    And now it's "lol wade did it all by himself!!!"

    :rolleyes:

    i don't think anyone is doubting the gay duo's talent level. i hate their smugness and self entitlement. LBJ could easily win it all with just a moderate upgrade in supporting cast.

    most ppl just think he's a douchebag who doesn't want a level playing field.

    See, these are the comments I don't get. Sure, if you didn't like the Decision, you have an argument. And, if you're upset that 3 players that were center pieces of teams and in their primes joined on one team - crushing our hopes of getting one of them, that's understandable too.

    However, I don't get the "collusion" argument. Every single team has players that call free agents every single season and try to recruit them and most of the time us rockets fans are all for it if we can benefit from it. It's just unfortunate Wade is good friends with some of the best players in the nba.

    Wade didn't win a ring by himself in 2006. I hate when people say that. It's impossible for one player to do it all by himself.

    If I recall Haslem gave Dirk fits, but let me guess Wade was the cause of that.

    No, but the ring the Lakers won that rightfully belongs to the Sacramento Kings is tainted.

    Obviously he didn't literally do everything on his own. But you can't say that team was star-studded. Wade was the main man; he did the majority of the work.

    Nice try, but epic epic fail. I grew up in Sachse, Texas and we called it Sac Town. Moved to Houston when I was 18. lol

    Anyone who thinks that either one of our championships were tainted are just losers, knicks fans or magic fans.

    We won, they lost...Two rings! case closed!



    BTW: I hope LeBron & Heat win this year. It would have been nice of him to have stayed in cleavland, but just ask Sir Charles how nice it is to sit next to Kenny The Jet Smith and see his bling while his fingers are naked.

    Rings = Legacy & lets face it, Cleveland or Miami.....Snow or Beachs, Overcoats or Bikini's, All Stars or role playing assets?

    What would you do?

    I will never support the Mavs after what went down in the 05 playoffs, they are almost Jazz like to me now.

    It wasn't tainted but it wasn't as impressive as a ring against Jordan in the 92 finals would have been. Lebron's rings won't be tainted but they will be less impressive than they would've been if he didn't have a ridiculous amount of talent around him.
