Recap of the 2006 NBA Finals and Season

2006 NBA Finals
MVP - Mia Dwyane Wade
Unsung Hero Award - Mia James Posey
Gutcheck Award - Mia Udonis Haslem

The two teams in this year's NBA Finals once again deserved to be there, surviving years of devastating playoff defeats. Young stars continue to flow into the league. Lebron, Carmelo, and Wade will carry the NBA into the next generation. There is still a clear cultural divide between league management and its players, but that hasn't hurt the quality of play out on the floor. The playoffs, as exciting as this year's were, still need to be shortened.

The All NBA H-duk Team is comprised of the 5 best players from the previous season according to my calculations. Some players can be out of position, but it must be reasonable. All of the playoffs are included. I also choose an MVP on my own (the Finals MVP is based on the actual selection). This year's MVP is Steve Nash for the second straight season. I will insert the number of times each player has been selected to the team next to their team. The team has existed since 1999-2000. This is its 7th year.

2005-2006 All NBA H-duk Team
C Dirk Nowitzki Dal (2nd)
F Elton Brand LAC (1st)
F Lebron James Cle (1st)
G Dwyane Wade Mia (1st)
G Steve Nash (2nd)
