MIAMI POST SEASON AWARDS

Alright now. It's been almost a week since Miami lost Game 6 and the Dallas Mavericks earned their first NBA Championship. Much congrats to the Mavericks organization and their players. Also, to me for picking them to win even though they got it done one game earlier that I thought. But if I am a Miami Heat player and/or fan, I would not count this season as a complete disappointment considering how absymal your start was. So, I going to give out some special awards to the Heat. They all may not have NBA Championships yet, but I'm going to them some awards:

BEST COMEDIC PERFORMANCE: This award is going to the person who did best impression of what a NBA player should not do when he is acquired for a championship run> That player is Mike Bibby. He hardly played any defense or consistently made a jump shot to benefit his team. His effort was practically comedic for all its mishaps. The 3 stooges couldn't recreate the sophomoric effort that Bibby gave. Richard Pryor, George Carlin, and Bernie Mac couldn't write better jokes than that joke of a season you had.

BEST THEATRICS: This award belongs to the player who makes a foul out of the opposing teams' player sweat drops falling on him. The award goes to Dwyane Wade. I expected more mental toughness out of the former NBA Finals MVP, but I was highly disappointed. Just because Gabrielle Union is your girlfriend does not mean you should bring all the elements of her profession into yours. What happen to leadership qualities to help will your team to victory?? Did they go away when you got the divorce from Siobahn Funches? You're at the post game conference talking that the worlds is happy that the Heat are losing. The world could care less. the world got bills to pay, children to educated, and football games to watch. But, truth be told, I miss 2006 Dwyane Tyrone Wade in the sense of the fact he was fearless. What others said or didn't say had no bearing on how he played. Dwyane played with a controlled choas that constantly gave ESPN moments for the Top 10 plays of the night. But you don't consistently see that anymore. Or maybe Mark Cuban was right on the "phantom calls" you received in 2006 that gave you your repuation of having such machismo. Either way, leave the theatrics to actors those on the TV screens and the stage.

THE SLEEPER AWARD: The award goes to the players that weren't constantly recognize for their team contributions. But if it had not been for their play, the Heat would not have gotten to the NBA Finals. These players are Mario Chalmers and Udonis Haslem. In the beginnning of the season, Mario Chalmers was suppose to be the starting point guard but the acquistition of Mike Bibby changed those plans. But did he disapear? NO! He outplayed his starting counterpart in every round of the playoffs especially in the finals. So, Mario Chalmers, you get major dap for me. I know you're a free agent this summer and Pat Riley has made you the team's top concern. And you should be. Your point guard was stellar in playing sound defense and knocking down timely three point shots when your team desperately needed them.
Udonis Haslem, you were major in the playoffs especially when the team's starting center didn't score in some of the games in the playoffs. Without you, the Heat would have lost against Chicago in the Eastern Conference Finals. By grabbing those necessary rebounds, playing some serious defense and occasionally knocking down your 15-20 jumper, you became a constant around a lot of incinsistenties. Your unselfishess to take a pay cut of 40% is beyond admirable (I couldn't do it) and to be applauded. Major kudos to you as well.

THE MUZZLE AWARD: This award goes to the player who needs President Obama's speechwriter because he should not be allowed to speak from the heart. That player is LeBron James. It started off poor in the press conference/concert/pre-championship parade. The infamous statement of,"We can win not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7..." Are you serious, man? You can't be. This must be a joke. I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to hop out of the audience talking about we've been punk'd. because that is the only justifiable explanation for such crazy talk before training camp even started. And it ended on such a sour note with you talking to about how people who rooted against you personally have to go back to their ordinary lives and you're going to continue to do you. But, doing you has left you without a ring. Regardless on how tacky Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was on his tweet after Dallas won, he made a valid point on the fact that there are no shortcuts to success. So, swallow all that humble pie you need to buy now and prepare yourself for the next season. I will give a strategy for success and it's called for 4 up's: Get UP, Show UP, Listen UP, and Shut UP. The media cannot miscontrue anything you say if you don't say anything.

MOST HERIOC PERFORMANCE: I almost called this award the Major Call of Duty Award. THere is no need to explain the purpose of this award. It goes to Mike Miller. Regardless if he didn't score consistently, there is no way you can criticize a player is going back and forth from the games to the hospital where his daughter is battling for her life. With Father's Day being tomorrow, you are major in my book. And there is nothing left to say.

THE RODNEY KING AWARD: Rodney King infamously said,"Can't we all just get long?" So, the recipient of this award goes to head coach Erik Spoelstra. He infortunatley was dealt with the task of being ego manager and head coach. In 2009, he was an unknown young coach who got his team to the playoffs and got them to overperformed. In 2010, he placed in a no win position. If they lose, he is not a good coach. If they win, he didn't play a part of it. With the media lurking around, whispering on how Pat Riley should be the head coach instead of Spoelstra. I applaud you for being able to not only keep your cool when the vultures came and doing a bang up job as head coach. Kudos to you.

BEST LEAD PLAYER IN THE NBA FINALS: The award goes to the player who showed up in EVERY game of the NBA Finals. That player is Chris Bosh. I know Carlos Boozer tried to throw some serious shade on you, but you got the last laugh outperforming him in 3 of the 5 games of the that series. Even when, the media was Big Gulping the LeBron tea and Wade Kool-Aid, you were the only one to hit a game winning shot. You were the the team's best free throw shooter. You weren't the one apart of the peanut gallery mocking Dirk Nowitzki on camera. Your play was never questioned in the fourth quarter in the finals. You showed up and get serious dap from me. You earned your playoff bonus and I can't say the same about everyone else on your team.

Well, that's all for now. Let's all pray tomorrow at church that there will be a NFL and NBA season. Amen...
