The 2006 Heat are totally overvalued here bc of Shaq. In the 2006 Finals, he averaged a little over 13 pts a game, and it's not like the Mavs had any great defensive center. He was old. He was not going to be scoring 28/game like in his Lakers playoff games, yet thats what he's doing here.

In fact, the 2006 Heat are overvalued period. They are not a very good team compared to other championship teams...a few things go different and the Mavs could have easily swept them in the Finals (they were down 2-0 and about to lose game 3 when suddenly Wade couldnt stop getting fouled). They only won 52 games. What are they doing in this bracket, let alone getting to the third game??

Something tells me we're headed for a Bulls-Bulls-Bulls-Lakers/Celtics final four. Not surprising, really.

Yet again, Hakeem gets undervalued...
Hakeem avgd 27.8 ppg in 95, 33.0 ppg in the playoffs, 32.8 ppg in the finals; in the 94 finals he avgd 26.9 ppg against a Knicks team that only allowed 85 ppg. The 96 Bulls would not hold him to 22.2 ppg with those 2 tomato cans they had at center. And since the Bulls needed 6 games to beat the sonics that year, I'm pretty sure Hakeem, Clyde, Horry, Cassell, Kenny, Mario and co. would have won more than one contest

As I said before, this exercise seems to favor newer teams too much. I don't really understand why, since there are no stats for measuring the change in overall talent from year to year
