The Heat are bigger, better defensively, have better outside shooting to space the floor, and a much better bench. It's Jordan and Barry taking difficult shots against Shaq, Wade, and company taking easy shots.

Jordan is great, but he's not infallible.

Are people really voting for the Knicks despite them only having the clear advantage at one position?

In all honesty, i thought the Heat were the best team in this tournament (mine being second, off course! ).

Considering this particular match-up, i agree with BobStack: the Heat are better at 4-out-of-5 positions. And not necessarily because they have the better players (who am i to diss on Rick, who is one of the 3 players to win the championship without an All-nba teammate?), but because i think the Heat players mesh better.

Snaq O'Meal is the greates asset in this tournament. You surround him qith MVP-winner Cowens for rebounding, hustle and defense, Durant to score from all over without having to hog the ball, a good defender in prime Wade and Penny (who is a mismatch for almost every other PGs) and you got yourself a winner.

The Knicks bench, who i think is not well-planned, further widens the gap between these two teams.
