Top 10 Plays of the NBA Finals 2005-2006

[wickyzerMan3]

I miss Gary Payton and the Sonics!!

[sixfootnine]

How come i hardly hear anyone talk about that NASTY jam by Wade over Dampier? It's no 3 on this countdown.. absolutely VICIOUS!!!

[marcoj25]

i remember watching this and every play the game would pause like 2 full minutes while wade went to the line

[Jefcool64]

The mavs are stupid, up 2-0 and you still lose the series? The officials might cause you to lose 1 game but 4 in a row yeah right

[Dre3K1]

I LIKED THAT SERIES. I'M GLAD GARY PAYTON GOT HIS RING...LET'S SEE IF THIS YEAR WILL BE THE SAME FOR J. KIDD AND DIRK

[WeAndWeR1]

Top few not up to much

[raccoonz21299]

what the **** the games were not rigged

[DallasSportsTroll]

Games 3* and 5* were rigged for the Heat in this series.

[raccoonz21299]

@DallasSportsTroll they were not rigged

[cameron0621]

@DallasSportsTroll Sorry loser much?

[jimmy6700]

@DallasSportsTroll Go hide under a bridge troll...GO HEAT.

[TheRtXaS]

It's gonna repeat this final. >:)

[SWAGGAMAN2192]

Wade shited on dat nigga Dampier. And now dey teammates. Lol.

[natemup]

that nigga Wade assassinated them boys out there.

[dwaynewade332]

in my opinion. this was the best finals of the decade

[SWAGGAMAN2192]

@dwaynewade332 No question!

[JUXcaptainHOOK]

best finals i've ever seen personally... as a heat fan... been a heat fan ever since WADE was darfted... i never seen a player take over a game or finals series the way DWade did... classic finals

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

SIXERS are going to the Finals this year

[Player3757]

@MrSouthphillyitalian HELL NAW

[123drosefan]

@Player3757 the chicago bulls are trust me

[SpacerAM2]

@123drosefan

The Bulls? Keep dreaming!

[TiKayedge]

i'd love to see mavs back to the finals

[TheGBMeneses]

@Kaioken1987 Injuries have slowed him down, but I agree. He was a lot more explosive back then.

[mrmacross]

I thought the highlight of the series was Wade at the free throw line.

[BigC954]

I MIss ZO!!

[SuperCockism]

godammn this series was so rigged.

[SpacerAM2]

@SuperCockism

Yeah the refs were favoring the Mavs the first three games of the finals if you look at those three games carefully. Then it was open season on Mark Cuban after the game 5 suspension on Jerry Stackhouse. When Cuban started arguing about it non stop. Jerry Stackhouse commited that same foul on Joe Johnson of the Suns that fractured his eye socket the year before. Which he got suspended for doing to Shaq in game 4 of the finals.

[Exarion1117]

Refs were betting on the Heat clearly in this Finals,pretty sad to be honest.

[Christusolus]

How is number 9 not a travel?

[daninator13]

@Christusolus you get three steps if you come off of a dribble beacuse they count it as half as step.

[RHCPmagic]

Gary Payton was soo clutch in this series...... Yo I bet this is when LeBron made his decision.. after seeing wade in all his glory I bet he wanted a taste of it too

[bigdaddymatty17]

Great memories.

[GC32321]

Mavs 2 Refs 4

[jllerena20]

@GC32321 refs didn't miss shots and miss free throws you dumb fuck.

[GC32321]

@jllerena20 The refs influenced the outcome of the series, everyone knows that. The Mavericks choked a bit, but a lot of it had to do with poor officiating.

[jllerena20]

@GC32321 okay dirk nowitzski is the biggest bitch in the NBA, even bigger then pierce and Garnett and also Gasol, he always looks for the foul and 80% of the time he gets it . He choked, Terry choked, and we had a kid named Dwyane Wade who could not be stopped maybe if wade disappeared you might have had a chance.

[GC32321]

@jllerena20 Maybe if Wade did not shoot more free throws than the entire Mavericks team we would of had a chance. No point in arguing, this series was 4 years ago. Now the Heat have LeBron and the Mavs window is pretty much closed. Dirk did choke in game 3, but he is not a bitch. he is a hall of famer, and is the greatest shooting big man of all time.

[lilballer91am]

@GC32321 Dirk Nowitzki had ap. 20 pts and made only 2-1x field pts the rest was all free throws so ?...

[GC32321]

@lilballer91am why would you reply to a 6 month old comment

[marcellrips]

LMAO miniture seizure at 0:22

[tothebeaty0]

#1 is great. let me tell yall that shot was his only score in that game.

[rolandroiroi]

@tothebeaty0 OMG really?? 

[tothebeaty0]

@rolandroiroi for real

[pbbasketball]

the best finals in XXI century

[spobrocy]

@pbbasketball I don't know man. The finals that we just watched a few weeks ago were incredible! 2005 finals went to seven games also.

[Agriloth]

Mbenga= 2 Finals Appearances

Lebron= 1 Final appearance

Lol, Mbenga pwnz all.

[brgod]

@Agriloth now they both got 2

[lakerkid91]

@Agriloth Shit about 4 ain't it? Wasn't he on the team the other two years they went to the finals?

[heatchampions25]

i was happy when they won i almost hit my head on my roof when the buzzer sounded i couldve dunked if their was a goal.

Does anybody know where to find the finals commercials this series cuz i want to see them.

[Melakesimeon]

nba finals should be more like this

[sencella]

im happy payton and wade got a ring, but in the other hand, its sad to see a player like nowitzki without one.

[craigcox43]

TheBaller3 really, just what else can I say. People who have fun playing basketball need to all study the way to dunk, I only just not long ago done the exercise program over at (50 inch vertical [dot] com) - it's the best course there is (I'm barely 5'9!)

[mike23456789101112]

IS IT ME OR 1:16 GARY PAYTON FUCKKKING TRAVELS LIKE A MOTHER FUCKKKKKKKERRRRRR SOME 1 SEND ME A MESSAGE OF WHAT U THINK

[llJAFYll]

i loved 2005-2006 year. 4 straight playoff wins. wow (Y)

[Ernesto3054Life]

haters can kep hatin

[TehSamurai]

It's a shame the Mavericks choked and lost to Dwyane Wade four times straight.

[davidakad]

when miami won the championship....

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

[LionelMcSassafras]

These finals were so lame

no disrespect to the Heat,

but i doubt many NBA fans consider watching Dwyane Wade shoot

free-throws to be quality television or quality basketball.

[M2Canes]

@LionelMcSassafras

Not Wades fault that Dallas couldn't stop him without fouling him.sure some were bad calls,but bad calls went both ways.

[doudoub2005]

i loved those finals

heat had a stacked team... shaq..wade..alonzo..payton...w­alker etc..

[TheDignam]

@doudoub2005 A VERY EXPERIENCED TEAM !

[Babulle548]

how did the mavs loose these finals !

[airandy41]

@Babulle548 Two words, David Stern.

[vhingster]

@airandy41

AGREE..with you with this. but your missing another word..conspiracy..

[TheDignam]

@Babulle548 They loose the finals in the GAME 3, they had 12 points (or something like that) in advance in the beggining of the 4th quarter.. They should kill the game and at 0-3, it was over for Miami..

[Exarion1117]

@Babulle548 Mavs 2 Refs 4

[SpacerAM2]

@Exarion1117

The Mavs settled for jump shots. While Wade was driving to the basket alot more ,and going to the foul line more. So of course Wade is going to go to the freethrow line more. You are just a Heat Hater.

[spurs34343]

those were some shit plays

[SoUtHCraZy]

Ahh.. That year was the best.. with the best players for the heats.. Zo' Payton' Walker' Williams' Wade' Jones The best M.I.A !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMaskedStation]

@SoUtHCraZy

You forgot shaq lol

[SoUtHCraZy]

lol my bad yea and shaq!!!!!!!!!!

[P0casP0cas]

At #2 the commentator said gary stackhouse instead jerry :D

[MrBadabingbadaboom]

no teams roster can compare the last 15yrs and o team that has won can compare 2 the heats 06-07 team i mean maybe the lakers with gp kobe rick fox karl malone and shaq but they didnt win a ring did they GP J.WILL WADE POSEY WALKER SHAN ANDERSON HASLEM ZO AND DIESEL it dont get better under the cap

[JudgeHibachi]

thats actually not a good roster

[ziggyzigzag13]

the lakers and celtics both have better lineups this year. any starting 5 with rondo allen peirce garnett and perkins with sheed coming off the bench could fill the rest of their roster with HS players and still make the Finals in 2006

[angel561234]

D-Wade is better than Kobe and Lebron it is just that the teamates of Wade is weak unlike LeBron has shaq and kobe has Gasol, Artest and many more if Heat will have at least 2 super star i think they will be champ

[8cali94]

d-wade is better than lebron period

[joblagz]

i remember that payton shot.. less than 10secs and its all tied and im like.. damn, now what.. then payton hit two big shots.. great shots

[RJastig41]

top ten of the decade? a sure spot,huh?

[jedipudu]

I thought the mavs gave the series away. No disrespect to the heat, they made plays when it counted. The mavs make just 1 stop in miami and they go back to dallas up 3-2 instead of down. But almost only counts in horse shoes so I guess I just made a moot point.

[raider8sox]

OMFG, Complete HeaRTBREAKER of a series!!!

[L3g3nd4ryb4113r]

Dude this series was so fucking intense

[datuboa]

good finals matchup..not my favourite but wud def be sumwer in my top10 of the decade..number 1 would have to be 01 lakers-76ers

[nyknicks208]

top ten of the decade?

[LALkobebryantLAL]

perhaps u didnt knw there're onli 10yrs in a decade?

[MisterRozz]

Nice, Terry used Shaq as a ladder on play #4.

[TheJerseyChimpmunk]

he traveled at #5

[htownnigggga]

haha how was #1...#1?

[misterjon1]

that was the turning point in the series...

[nmantor]

Im happy for Shaq, Gary and others but sad for Dirk

[arskaZ9]

DAMN RIGHT!

[MDotts829]

fuck all the haters

[joblagz]

wade gave retiring payton, williams and mourning a ring..

[ciruratm]

wade din't give shit to anyone. are you kiddin? that miami team was plenty of all star level players: payton, williams, mourning, walker, shaq even coach pat riley. yes, all of those players were old and even payton retired that same year but c'mon! wade's numbers last season were just ridiculous but didn't go farther than 1st round! that ring was an entire team efford. wade's awesome, but he'll never make it again until he gets good company to support his game.

[joblagz]

you're right, but game 3456 is all about wade.. he made it happen, payton and mourning were great role players, they earned the title, but it is till wade who made it possible.. i remembered that game where they were down by double digit and its wade who erased this lead and gave it to his team.. wade is a future hall of famer..

[LALkobebryantLAL]

tis is for sure ..

but u dun hav to give so much credit to wade cos he had shaq and payton(considered all-time greats) with him .

i knw tat overall he did a great job as well even though i missed the whole series ..

if u tink wade sucked back den, check out kobe in 2003 or 2004 finals ..

he had :marlone(2nd all-time scorer) shaq , payton(if im nt wrong)  n phil as his coach .

let alone defeat the pistons in the finals, the lakers absolutely gt owned bk den .

[daking3o5]

wtf? shaq hardly did shit in the finals. and payton was already declining nasty. dwyane wade was basically what got the heat back into the finals. not because shaq or payton. cus wade.

[srwgundam]

@LALkobebryantLAL Shaq and Payton? I'll give them credit for helping the Heats to the playoffs, but look at the stats and performance during the 05-06 playoff...I can simply say that it was all about D-Wade, no player came close to what D-Wade did during that year's playoff

[LALkobebryantLAL]

@srwgundam payton was arguably th most best in defense at his position. i doubt they would have so much success without him.

[LifeSoAsian]

yeah wade had more than 30 points in abouht each game!@joblagz 

[23Thijs]

@joblagz can you tell in what game that was with the double digit lead thingy? I forgot...

[blitzencheeze]

@joblagz he is one right now :D

[smackdatpat]

This was such an exciting series to watch. I don't think I'll be watching the finals this year though. I can't stand the Lakers, and the Spurs aren't much better.

[tehsamjones]

uuh the spurs aren't playing in the finals this year...

[smackdatpat]

But the lakers are. I can't stand the lakers or spurs, and I won't watch a finals where EITHER of those two teamsb are playing. Make sense now?

[ChinaBear39]

Dirk was so close to winning a championship, i really hope he gets another chance, cos he is such a great player, but d-wade was too good in this series. the officiating was bad the whole playoffs, so you can't just say that he got good calls. He plain dominated that series. im pissed off that shaq won though, he is so up himself liek i won without kobe, but he didn't do shit in the finals, it was all wade

[H0LLYW00DFL954]

gary payton came through in the clutch

[donjuan456]

shaq had form a legacy

[FrYLocK41]

im a fan of neither team but this particular finals was fixed, given the fact that stern hates cuban and is looking for a new mj, wade had like 30FTs per game in this series something like that

[gathuarox7]

because he had the balls to take it to the basket all the time and not settle for jumpers like every player on dalls

[FrYLocK41]

yeah but alot of those fouls were touch fouls and questionables, like the one at the end of game 5, it was so questionable and it decided the game

[danynumero6]

i agree, wade is my fav player, i think he deserves to be talked about in a conversation regarding whos the best player in the NBA just as much as Kobe and LeBron, maybe more.

[kirby74192]

i hate myself for watching this video. The six most painful sports days of my life.

[Aria6900]

if anyone says that number nine(d-wade) was a travel, they can go die.

[LionelMcSassafras]

@Aria6900 it was a travel

[argindwayne3]

wade the best fuck the rest

[bnroth]

Miami still the best after 3 years!!!!!

[legglax7]

thats gay they gave the mavs more top plays and the heat won

[belgurd]

actually legglax the heat got 6 plays and mavs got 4 idiot

[Fulltilt420]

Thats cause they were the better team and the Heat had help from the NBA.

[gq26]

its true. terry and dirk choked thats what happened

[mafoco82]

MJ like performance in finals by D-Wade.. incredible!!!

[smashingpumpkinhead]

god, Mike Breen's announcing is so sobering and anticlimactic, even when he tries to be exclamatory

[Tjtracks]

there are so many haters...the game was fixed? haha wow

Wades the best

[bozzelbagger]

lol look how high off the glass gary payotns shot waz for #5

[JohnMUTDMazzawi]

the only way that this series might have been fixed is if the Heat payed Novitzki and Terry to choke.

[InZomnia365]

LOL. Amen to that!

[bearosofl]

8cali94 wade got praised cuz he averaged 34 ppg in da finals we won 2 years ago crying like da pussy ass bitch u are wont get dem boyz da trophy we got 305 WADE COUNTY respect dat faggot

[dwade1002]

i'm only gonna say this once, MIAMI WON FAIR AND SQUARE AND D.WADE KICKED ASS, and theres nothing you can say about it. so stop lyin and hatin and DEAL WITH IT!! the better player clearly won, Dwyane Wade

[Willemims]

He got treatment by the refs. So no, it wasn't fair.

[PeanutButterGamer]

D-Wade was untouchable in that series!!!

And by untouchable, I mean if you laid the slightest finger on him, he went to the line.

[Willemims]

Exactly, they would call fouls even though the mavs wouldn't touch D-Fraud!

[xfactor541]

I suppose you morons don't want to comment on "D-frauds" season this year? I mean its not like he lead the league in scoring, had 7 assist per game, and was the first player 6' 4 or shorter to ever record 100 blocks and 100 steals in a single season......even if you want to whine about the calls in the series.....how can you be mad at wade he didnt blow the whistle.....hes one of the top three players in the nba right now lets move on

[FlightNine]

This is why DW3 made All-NBA First Team this year ... thanks :)

[bushbush2]

3 fucking years later and you are still whining lol

sad

[GibsonRock4All]

hhaha yeha they kinda tooka break there in the middle

[And1AirJordan23]

#3 shoulda been #1

[8cali94]

mavs could've won the title that year

i hated how everyone praised d-wade in that series after he went to the foul line like 60-70% of the time and the refs are making stupid calls like touch fouls and making him untouchable

[ImperialFreedom]

Like what they do with Pierce now.

[8cali94]

hell yeah

[danynumero6]

stop talking bullshit man, Wade had an incredible series, regardless of whether it was free throws or 3 pointers, theyre still shots you gotta make when you have the chance. It shows how clutch he is too. Besides, free throws werent the only shots he took too.

[VOLODMIGUELDAVID]

WHERES SHAQ IN THE TOP TEN

[Ernesto3054Life]

lmao i still laugh at mavs fans blaming the officials, plz nowitzki didnt choke he just couldn't when it matter due to our DEFENSE and wade> whole mav roster

[Brays014]

i wont deny that the mavs choked, but this was the best finals series in years.

[Raford146]

jason terry can dunk? wow

[KobrickCryant]

Yeah right, dirk's fade away jump shot at game2 was the shot of the series, and how the fuck that Gary Payton/Mourning two top plays out of 10?

[johnwahab]

Notice how Dirk is accused of being a choker but in the top plays you can actually see he did make huge plays for his team, notice how you dont see any clutch plays for Wade? All he had to do was flop whenever he was touched and he would get freethrows at the end of every close game. Rigged officiating won the Miami heat the championship.

[DB3HEAT]

He made big plays? He had a shot in a game that the Mavs lost, and an assist, wow, big plays. Shut your hick ass up, Wade made more clutch plays than both teams combined. He made a game 3 winning block to fuckin turn the series around. Dirk is a choker, that's why he lost in the first round the next two years, and lost to an 8 seed in the biggest playoffs upset ever. Please make up an excuse for that one dude.

[lHeartHk]

Pretty sure Number 3 was the best play.

[falkner23]

how was DWade's tomahawk dunk not in the top 10 it was jordanesque so sick man

[KendrickJobe1]

LBJ23 and KB24 are excused and praised for coming up short and being exposed in the Finals. Dwyane Wade wins the Finals MVP but gets criticized -- BASSACKWARDS !!

[Jordan23LBrn]

mavs use b my fav team now im stickin wit da suns n they gon win da championship in 09

[mAs212011]

GOOOOO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NewYawkCityFTW]

dwayne wade the best? plz stfu kobe is better, lebron is better, dwight howard is better, KG is better, chris paul is better

[intae7777]

don't mention that rapist

[thedawg385]

And this video is a slap to your fucking bandwagoned face.

[danynumero6]

how is someone like Dwight Howard who cant shoot to save his life better than Wade who was the leading scorer this year?

[NewYawkCityFTW]

being the top scorer doesnt mean your better then almost anyone

[danynumero6]

i was just giving only a few examples.

[SorryForMyLackOfWit]

Jason Williams and Antoine Walker winning rings is a joke.....

[melik2et2]

i bet its gonna be the lakers and celtics again next year

[anjtube9]

This capped off the best NBA season for me I've ever seen, with my fave player ever DWade showing you why he is potentially the best in the NBA. The playoffs in 2006 had so much drama I doubt we'll see anything like that again in a while.

And DWade will be back in 2008-2009 out of Lebron and Kobe's shadows where he was in 2005 and 2006. All you Lebron and Kobe stupid bandwagon fans have to accept Wade was the best.

The HEAT will be back, just watch.Go WADE and HEAT!!

[tsw731]

this finals was a joke...the heat were terrible the next two years with basically the same team.

[falkner23]

tsw731 are you a fucking idiot how was it the same team the next year dwyane wade fucked up his shoulder with him out the heat is nothing if that injury didnt happen the heat could of been back in the finals the next year, 2006 finals was so sick it was great,the 07 & 08 nba finals completely sucked man they were a joke

[tsw731]

agree to disagree then, falkner, but it's well-known that this was one of the most controversial finals of all time.

[falkner23]

i guess so man, but i feel this was one of the most exciting finals of this era & dallas mavericks choked away a championship, while the miami heat got the job done in the clutch

[haydenisalegend]

how good is zo's dunk over dj

haha facial

[shewit08]

2 much "ticky tacky " calls for me d-wade was not fouled most of the time

[kingdylword]

wow dallas realy chocked lol up 100-99 game 5 then they were tied 95-95 game 3 dallas had this finals but they choke like always

[donjuan456]

miami was unstopable that year shaq is my favorite player and wade was graet

this year lakers nba champ forever

[mikealfo]

Wade shot all those free throws because Dallas couldn't defend him without fouling, its that simple. Dallas sucks and always will.

[evo656]

Heat own so does gary payton too bad they realesed him :(

[CAG1993]

i think that 3 should have been #1, and 4 shouldnt have even been on the list.

[ManuelKobe]

I still wonder what payton was saying at number 10

[ray32333]

alonzo mourning is still unbeliveble

[itbastin1991]

this was probably the most obvious rigging in NBA finals history

[COWBOYS82288TRIPLETS]

this finals was total bullshit... the refs screwd dallas!!
