"That Miami Finals really was a tough one to swallow," Jackson said before the Lakers won 96-91 on Saturday night in Dallas. "I think Wade averaged about 25 foul shots a game. You couldn't even touch him. That was really tough to swallow and I think he understood there's kind of a pecking order in this league and you keep your mouth shut at times.''

That series was the worst officiated NBA Finals in league history. Games 3, 5, and 6 were the three most crucial games of that series, as well as three games that Miami either won with fourth quarter comebacks or in overtime, Wade shot a total of 64 FT's. Dallas, as a team, in those 3 games, shot a total of 74. In game 5, Wade shot as many FT's as the entire Mavs team.

Just checked the box scores for all of those game's in the NBA Finals 2006 and here is Dwyane Wade's FTM-FTA

 

@ Dallas Game 1: 6-10

 

@ Dallas Game 2: 11-14

 

Miami Game 3: 13-18

 

Miami Game 4: 8-9

 

Miami Game 5: 21-25

 

@ Dallas Game 6: 16-21

 

Add up all those FTA's Wade was averaging 16 FT's a game still a ton for one man to do that but nowhere near the 25 FT's avg mark that Phil is talking about. I think all of us just remember game 3, 5 and 6 were he took a ridiculous amount of free throws. Wade in total shot 97 free throws in the series. The whole Mavericks team throughout the series combine all 6 games shot 196 FTA's

That was when Wade was D-Aid, D-Wheel, all of the names associated with flopping.

 

He did change his ways, though.

 

Who remembers my art?

Cute art but I believe Kobe is another person who gets superstar calls, but then again so does LeBron.
