Not an athlete, but seeing what Erik Spoelstra did this year with the roster he had, and how injured that roster has been is pretty spectacular.

This is taking nothing away from Lebron, because there is truth to Lebron being the major factor to the Heatles, but the way it was held together and executed was a big part on Spoelstra.

I know Lebron won one in Cleveland afterward, but that was lead by a two man show. Spoelstra balanced out a very well distributed an offense utilizing three star players evenly.

Speaking of which, dude also has been shown to adapt a great deal by running a different offense in three different eras and has succeeded: Wade's prime offense, Heatles offense, whatever they running right now being possibly good enough to get into the play-offs.

Quite honestly, most coaches I don't think would be able to handle Waiters and Whiteside on the same team without shipping one out, most likely after some shyt goes down.

Even KD said Spo was one of the most underrated coaches he's ever seen.

The way people been preaching all this wax poetic about Spo and the Heat and how he deserves COTY you'd think they're at least above .500. nikka they're 37 and 40 and just dropped back to back games to the Knicks and Nuggets. :rudy:

Henrik Larson never got the credit he deserved because he spent his primers Celtic in the SPL, was a truly world class player who could have new in the running for world player of the year if it wasn't for the biased media.


Neil Lennon was also underappreciated in Scotland for being a sideway passer, a clogger and a "thug". I truly believe he only got this rep because he was a red haired catholic. If he wasn't he'd have got his deserved praise.
