Hey im not even a mavs fan. I just think wade gets wayyy too much credit for what he does. He made half his pts off of free throws, and it just seems like every call goes his way when it comes to a foul.
I think even the announcers made a comment about that in game 4 (I think) about how Wade went to the foul line more than anybody else in recent time and was only one of a handful of people to ever go 20 times in a game, or something of that nature. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I thought it was interesting that even the announcers seemed to have thought it a bit odd.
Yeah they pulled up a statistic about free throws made in a game, and I think jordan was the only other one who made over 20 free throws in a finals game.
I just think its rediculous that these people call him this "budding young star" like he just went crazy in this NBA finals series. Dwayne Wade is good, VERY GOOD, and will likely be for his entire career, but he didnt do anything different than what he did in the first couple playoff series.
Look at the statistics...
His Field goal percentage didnt improve, it was actually WORSE than 3 of the 4 playoff series (including the finals)
He made 59-76 of his free throws from the line against the Mavs, and he had the WORST free throw percentage out of all of the playoff series he played in
He made 3-11 3 pt shots in the series...Again, not a very good number
