Battier in the NBA Finals


RE: Battier in the NBA Finals



Yeah, because when people think of the Heat, they think of third assistant Bob McAdoo. Wow, now, that is a stretch. 
- Posted by hardtobelieve00
Probably as many people think of McAdoo as Battier when they think of the Heat (dookies excluded).

I can assure you that McAdoo and Battier aren't even on the same level as far as greatness! Lol! By the way, do you actually think people think of Battier when they think of the Heat? Lol!
If any Duke fans would like to start the statistical comparisons and awards and championships between these two feel free to start! Lol! Advantage Carolina again!

Wonder why they keep interviewing James and Wade after each game and not Battier? They must have changed their policies on who the stars of the game are. Battier is a role player who doesn't get guarded because of the star power on this Heat team. Is he still part of the team.....absolutely! Does he contribute......yes! Will this series be decided because of him.....no!

RE: Battier in the NBA Finals

He's a key role player for the Heat, like Rodman was for the Bulls.

Not sure I would put him on Rodmans level. Battier definitely plays harder all the time but Rodman was a rebounding machine unlike any player that I have ever seen. I guess compared to Jordan and Pippen yes he was a role player but compared to Battier no. Thats not a crack on Battier.

True that.
In NBA championship seasons with the Bulls, Rodman was all defensive 1st team once and rebounding champ thrice.

RE: Battier in the NBA Finals

Rodman's a HOFer. I would not say Battier is quite yet in the HOF discussion. But if you guys want to, I guess it just further proves Battier is playing pretty well.

Yet........Lol......I actually think it would be great because then 20+ more Carolina players would make it in too! Good times in North Carolina for sure!

Meantime, UNC alum Bob McAdoo is going for his 4th NBA Championship ring (to add to his 2 as a player and 1 as a coach). How 'bout dem Heels???!!!

Lmao.......like I said before, when you haven't had anything to brag about this is what you have to lower yourself too! One year with a Duke player in the finals and you act like Carolina has nothing and Duke has won the lottery! Someone needs a hug!! Lmao!
