You know why they call him the Big Aristotle?
Because Aristotle couldn't hit free throws either.
For the NBA Finals, I’d lean towards Dallas but I have to admit I haven’t watched them much so I wouldn’t put $ on it.
Basically I think they’re more seasoned and a better shooting team. Also now that the refs have been calling Shaq’s brute force moves more closely, he’s had to try and play a “skill” game—not his strength, and if he hasn’t learned it after all these years it’s a little late.
Nowitzki averaged more points and more rebounds than Shaq this year. It was actually the big schmoe’s worst scoring and rebounding year in his career and his second worst FT % at .469. Ok, so maybe there’s some wear and tear that brings down his ppg/rpg, but no one’s FT % should ever drop.
He just doesn’t have the work ethic to develop his skills.
If he ever had a serious injury nothing I've seen has shown he has the will to work his way back. If he can't work hard enough to hit free throws, you think he'll work through the pain of rehab? Forget those Icy/Hot commercials, he’d just Kemp it.
Dallas has averaged more points and rebounds in the playoffs and has 5 players averaging double digit scores. Miami has three. If Miami has any hope it’s more in Wade’s hands that in Kazaam’s.
