In a recent appearance on the DLLS Mavs podcast, former Mavericks majority owner Mark Cuban said, “We hurt in 2006 after it was stolen from us, and I’ll take that to my grave that it was stolen from us.” The Miami Heat eventually won the 2006 NBA Finals, claiming the franchise’s first championship. However, it was also the beginning of the peak for superstar Dwyane Wade. “You’re not about to tarnish the work that I put in as a young guy to do something that not a lot of young guys have done in this game,” Wade said on his podcast, Time Out with Dwyane Wade on the WY Network, in response to Cuban. It was an astounding six-game series for Wade, averaging 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
