Revealing the Truth: Stop Saying the 2006 Finals Was Rigged Mark Cuban!

In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade and Bob cover everything from the 2006 Finals controversy to the rise of Linsanity. Wade sets the record straight on Mark Cuban’s “rigged” claims, highlighting the Heat’s resilience, Pat Riley’s leadership, and the value of veterans like Gary Payton. He reflects on the 2011 rematch with Dallas, the importance of veteran presence in young teams, and how injuries changed the course of stars like T-Mac, Yao, and Brandon Roy.

The crew also looks back at Wade’s redemption in the 2008 Olympics, the Heat shutting down Jeremy Lin’s historic run, and the lessons Wade applies to marriage and longevity, inspired by Ice T.
