(Dwayne Wade: The New Michael Jordan)

Tonight, the defending NBA champion Detroit Pistons will take on the Miami Heat. I predict that Miami will win in six games - even if Shaq is not at full-speed. The human eraser, Alonzo Mourning, is an adequate substitution, at least defensively. And Dwayne Wade is just too athletic for the Pistons.

For years, we have heard various players described as "the next Michael Jordan". But Dwayne Wade is really the closest I have seen to a player able to fill in MJ's legendary shoes. He has the athleticism, awe-inspiring moves, out-of-the-gym leaping ability, and killer instinct to be one of the best players ever. He also has the charisma and charm to be an international star. The only noticeable difference between Wade and Jordan, is that the 6'6" Jordan is two inches taller, which makes a big difference when playing in the post.

Wade is an unusually unselfish ballplayer and has phenomenal court vision. When he finds open men, such as Eddie Jones or Damon Jones, they have the ability to finish -usually from behind the 3-point line.

People might say I'm crazy to pick the Heat without a healthy Shaq. He may only show up for 2-3 games as his dominant self. However, the same can be said about the Piston's Rasheed Wallace. Although he is not injured, he is a head case who usually takes a night or two off during any given series. The Piston's need Wallace to come through even more than the Heat need Shaq. However, Wallace just is too unstable to be there and bring his A-game the whole series. His disappearing act - combined with Miami's home court advantage - will be enough to put the Heat over the top IN SIX.

Are you fucking crazy? Detroit is going to play whoopass on the Heat in 4. It's a sweep. We are going to stop Wade just like Joe Dumars used to crush Jordan. History will repeat itself.

6.
you nailed it brother.
listen...this is a team effort and the Heat have proven that.
now....Wade is also injured and the Pistons will need to alter their game plan yet again.
"All hands on Shaq...go for it and pay."
Miami has an endless bench and they
will use it like never before today. Who will step up? I don't know...no one does ....not even the Heat...that's the fun part.
Game 6 will be one for the books.
Set your Tivo/VCR/Beta...whatever you have. Send a copy to Detroit for review while they watch the Heat head to San Antonio.
