Well done guys, i know i havent been around for a while, but hey, congrats on the title

Since Haslem was banned from being in the arena for game 6, Wade presented Haslem with the team ball on the plane.



Puts a smile to your face, don't it?

I want to congratulate you guys on another ring . & thank you LeBron for the 7 years , and finally getting your ring. Still don't like the hour special , woulda been much easier on everyone if just said it on paper but yeah congratulation guys.

Last year was for storylines. This year, the Boston-Miami matchup is just about the basketball, and with two of the league's best defenses taking the floor, the pertinent question to ask is how each team is going to score. For Boston, the answer comes in the mid-range. For Miami, wherever Kevin Garnett isn't.

PLEASE MAKE SOME NOISE! Make your home court hostile and loud. Stand up and distract their free throw shooters! There's like 5 or 6 people underneath the basket distracting the other team while taking free throws. We need more than that or all of you people. Your team needs you! Don't just sit there watching like you're lazy. Just look at the OKC hostile crowd. The HEAT could use just ONE GAME. One game of full and loud support tomorrow night. Be a real 6th man for your team if you really love and support them. PLEASE!

Hey guys. Just came up with the idea and wanted to make a quick video before Game 5.

Enjoy.

I want to dissect an aspect of the game that I felt was critical before I go all emotional and stuff and talk more about excitement than the actual analysis of the game.

To me, this win is SO gratifying because the big 3 didn't have to put up monster points to seal the victory. Battier had 11 and freaking Miller had 23 off the bench. This was a team win and it felt as if the Heat were the teams on the ropes facing elimination rather than the Thunder. I just felt it was only fitting it was the entire Heat squad that got this win and ultimately, that gold ball...

Onto the excitement...sure I am hated here, sure I left when Shaq did and I came back with LeBron but I absolutely love this team as a whole and, even if some of you feel its unwarranted, take pride in the championship. This was a hard fought way and I am, along with all of you, not content with just 1 title...but I am excited and I am happy.

I pounded my chest and ripped my shirt off as the final buzzer rang. I ran around my house and danced like Chris Farley making myself greatly winded. I sat there and watch the post game pressers, I ordered the bluray for the champs and the shirt and I shaved off the beard I let go for this playoff run.

I am extremely proud of this team and while this won't completely silence the LBJ critics, I am proud of what he accomplished as a player and person this season. This entire team was on a mission and they succeeded.

Congrats to the 2011-2012 NBA Champions!

Nah, oh hell nah. You didn't earn the right to celebrate with REAL MIAMI HEAT FANS. You don't love this team, you left with Shaq. I am a well-known avid Shaq fan/homer myself, but for me there is nothing I love more in basketball than this Miami HEAT team, not the 2012 team, but the team and it's history in general. You jumped ship to Phoenix/Cleveland with Shaq, two teams that were favorites to be in the Finals and possibly win it all. I stayed here with the HEAT, through the 15 win season in 2008. I was here in the chat rooms in 2009 and 2010, rooting for the HEAT when they were the definition of mediocre. I might as well have been a draft scout after 2008 with the way I studied players and their backgrounds to see which one would be of the greatest value to the HEAT going forward, I bought a Beasley jersey a few hours after we drafted him.

Two of the last things I watched with my Dad before he went into the hospital for months before his passing was the HEAT celebration after the Big 3 signed and when the HEAT blew the Lakers off the court Christmas day in their first match-up. I was here for the good, the bad and the ugly. My love for the Miami HEAT never wavered. Not even for a second. The fact that you came back after not only the way you left, but the videos you made and the tweets you sent prior to LeBron's Decision and now in here celebrating after WE (the HEAT and it's REAL FANS) won the championship, it's the ultimate disrespect and you better bet your *** that I take great offense to it.

Told yall..Magloire 2.0

I'd always hated on basketball, mainly because it's not hockey. Sure, it's fun to play a game of pickup once in a while or shoot 21, but what a wimpy sport, c'mon. Why can't you lay a body check? Where's the slapshots, the goalies? Did I mention the "inventor" of basketball Naismith was Canadian? That's all I knew about the sport.

Had only ever watched one game live, back when the Vancouver Grizzlies were around. It was just "okay".

Fast forward 15 years, it's 2010. Chris Bosh going to Miami. Okay I've heard of him, he played with the Raptors, right? And what's with this Lebron James character. That name sounds familiar. I guess he's supposed to be pretty good.

So me and my old man happened to be planning a trip to Miami, and decided to catch a Heat game instead of a Florida Panthers hockey game, which would have been our default.  "Dad, I can go watch an Edmonton Oilers game any time I want. Let's try something new."  

So we picked up a pair of tickets in "uptown".  I was fairly impressed with this Lebron's play.

"Lot's of people have Wade jerseys, who is he?"
"I dunno, maybe they drafted him?"

LITTLE DID I KNOW! Never watched another game again that year on TV or live.  Fast forward another year. I'm in Florida again for my holidays. And towards the end I'm looking for stuff to do. There happens to be a three game home-stand.  Okay I'll get tickets.  Went to three games. Haven't missed a SINGLE Heat game since then, in January '12.

I love the game now. It's still new to me. I've learned so much from watching it, and even applied it to playing defence in hockey! (i'm not the first- it was the USSR hockey teams who first started running picks that they stole from watching B-Ball, so the legend says).  

I love watching a big guy like bosh with his gangly arms having such fancy footwork. It just amazes me. Lebron is one of the most impressive all round athletes out there Imagine if he'd have been a hockey player. Who knows!  Wade is just a beauty to watch too! Then I got to know all the other players too.

I'll always be a Heat fan. Love the city, love the team, the arena, THE WEATHER, THE BEACH. Even if they are last place every year I'll still be a HEAT fan for life! Even though I'm a hockey fan at heart (nothing beats skating, around with a club in your hand to bash people), the Miami Heat are my favourite pro sports team of all time.

To all you locals, do yourselves a favour and go check out a Panthers game sometime. You may discover a new passion. I've met several "converts" at Panthers games.

Hey guys , finally i have finished my mix for Dwyane Wade who recently won his 2nd championship with the Miami Heat. I hope you like this video. Enjoy

Due to the former NBA History Thread being very cluttered and the time put into "repairing" it would be put to better use remaking it better than ever, I have chosen to do just that.

For those who were unaware or weren't present at the time, the NBA History Thread's title is pretty self-explanatory. It was originally a project myself and fellow poster #1draftppick collaborated on with the intentions of further educating the younger generation of posters and fans on the history of the game and perhaps provide some reminiscing for the older posters and fans.

After being in a dormant state for a while, the History Thread will make a comeback this season under my Blog series, Courtside with WB3. The first part of my "NBA History" project will be picking back up where I left off, posting the career stories of all of the 50 greatest NBA players of All-Time, in alphabetical order. Without further-ado, I present to you NBA History!

LeBron. The guy has to score the most points, grab the most rebounds, try and work the offense at the point, and then go on the other side of the court and cover one of the best players in the NBA for the Miami Heat.

Seriously, I dare anyone to tell me who does that better than LeBron? Nobody. That is why he is the MVP and why he STILL is the best player in the NBA.

We are blessed to have him.

Heat win game 3 by 2.

Westbrook misses a three to win.....

Battier is 36 for his last 56 three point attempts ( 64%) on top of the usual game winning plays that usually go unnoticed or doesn't show up on the stat sheet. He deserves his own thread now!

WHO'S THIS ******?

I got you Dan...
