I'm not excluding Shaq at all, but they haven't really missed a beat when he's been out or having a subpar (20 pts or less) game. Seriously. Heat's overall record: 49-16 (65 games, 0.754) Heat's record when Shaq scores 20 points or less (including DNPs): 24-4 (28 games, 0.857) Heat's record when Shaq scores 16 points or less (including DNPs): 12-3 (15 games, 0.800) Heat's record when Wade scores 20 points or less (including DNPs): 14-6 (20 games, 0.700) Heat's record when Wade scores 16 points or less (including DNPs): 7-3 (10 games, 0.700) Shaq's numbers: 22.5, 10.3, 2.9 Wade's numbers: 23.8, 5.3, 7.1 Shaq has certainly made this team several levels better than it could have been with last year's roster, but when you look at those numbers, can you really say that Wade's just his little sidekick?

there were also people who thought Kobe was the best on the lakers. Shaq is the MVP of the Heat, and he is probably also the MVP of the nba.
Most vociferous punk-a**-b****. Yeah, he's the MVP alright. I bet he's got some bangin rims on his ride though.
