    Shane's accomplishments:

    1. Leading Houston to 22 game win streak.
    2. Leading Houston to 3 playoff berths and their only playoff series win since Olajuwon's days.
    3. Leading Memphis to an upset of 1st seeded Spurs in that franchise's only playoff series win.
    4. Getting Miami over the hump-- from choker to champion.
    5. Now teaching the Heat the secret of the 22 game win streak.

    True, but with an 11/20 performance today against the Heat, Rudy Gay's gotten his Toronto FG% over the .400 mark!

    Take THAT analytics!

    It's crazy to think how good the Raptors would be with Battier instead of Ruday. Eastern Conference Champs? NBA Champs? A 34 games winning streak? I'd say at least all three... multiple times

    I am glad for him,but he hasn't lead Miami to this streak. Lebron has. He has played an important part,but he isn't the most important player on this team.

    Battier has now been part of 3 winning streaks. This cant be a coincidence.

    You have to look at the talent level on those teams and team chemistry.
    If you take Yao,LeBron and Wade out,how many games would Battier win?

    Battier is the utmost leader in two of the top 3 winning streaks of all time in the NBA.

    Congratz to the BATMAN!

    LeBron James said during the middle part of last season that Battier was the most important person on their team. Pretty modest statement there, but he said that Battier completely changed their culture and the way they prepared for a game.

    Did Lebron ever have a 22 game win streak before Battier showed up? Of course not.

    Lebron might have done the heavy lifting this time, but Shane taught Lebron everything he knows about streaking. Lebron use to choke when the moment came and the pressure rose, but Shane showed him how to just let it all hang out and perform.

    Well not this season, but only because their superstar was hurt.
