Miami Heat Win NBA Finals!

Keeping up with American sports is pretty easy in Taiwan. The biggest sport is baseball, so MLB is the most popular. Every Yankees game that the Taiwanese pitcher plays is televised on ESPN Taiwan. NBA is also very popular in Taiwan, and so I was able to follow the Miami Heat throughout the playoffs. I watched the NBA Championship game today and saw my hometown team win the finals for the first time! Dwyane Wade is definitely the key to their success. It's only his third season in the NBA and his performance in the finals was the best since Michael Jordon's. As talented as Jordon was, there is no doubt that there will be another player to perform at his level in the near future. Dwyane Wade may not even be the best player in the league. But his performance in the finals sets him apart from all the others. He averaged 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists, had game winning free throws, and dominated just about everything in the finals. Wade did all this in just his third year in the NBA.
