Heat, Spurs, and casual fans alike have been treated to a wild and wacky NBA Finals. Both teams continue to trade blow out victories, and each game has produced a new hero.
Game 1: Tony Parker: Parker hit three crucial jumpers in the fourth quarter of game one, the last being a circus shot over the reigning MVP as the shot clock literally expired. The bank shot seen round the world secured a Spurs victory. Parker finished with a game high 21 points.
Game 2: Mario Chalmers: "Rio"...as he's called by his Miami comrades, found his shot in the second half of game 2...making a series of three point plays on his way to a team high 19 points. Miami went on a 33-5 run to seal the deal.
Game 3: Danny Green and Gary Neal: Green and Neal combined for 51 points on...get this...thirteen three pointers. No need to tell you the Heat caught two black eyes in that one.
Game 4: Dwayne Wade: Facing local and national scrutiny for his pedestrian finals efforts, Dwayne Wade exploded for a fantasy owner's dream stat line: 32 points, six rebounds, six steals, and four assists. Wade's "06" effort tied the series at 2-2.
Game 5: Manu Ginobli: Also facing local and national scrutiny for his pedestrian finals efforts, Manu Ginobli rebounded nicely with 24 points, and more importantly, ten assists. Ginobli's passing lead to several three point plays, and the Spurs are now a win away from another world title.
There are some notable names missing from this list....who will be the hero of game 6? follow @plcolter
