The 2013 Finals were a special one for the Heat, and the series was dramatic. We move the clock to 11 years ago, and in the first five games of the Finals that year, the Spurs took a 3-2 lead.
In Game 6, the Spurs had a five-point lead in the last 30 seconds and a five-point lead in the last ten seconds, and it looked like they were on their way to winning the championship. However, we also saw the final process, Ray Allen hit a 3-pointer in the bottom corner to drag the game into overtime.
In overtime, the Heat defeated the Spurs in the end and dragged the game into a tie-break. And after entering the tie-break 7 battle, the Heat defeated the Spurs to win the championship. So if Ray Allen hadn't hit that crucial 3-pointer in the '13 Finals, how many people's fortunes would have changed?
Let's first take a look at the impact on James, who applied to leave the Cavaliers in 10 years in the hope of challenging for a championship. In '12 they made it to the Finals, but lost to the Thunder. And in 13 years, if James loses again, then his position will be greatly impacted. Coupled with the fact that he lost to the Warriors in a row, then he would have reached the Finals 10 times and won only two championships, so it would be almost impossible to become the second person in history.
And for Duncan, if he wins this championship, then he also has a great chance to win FMVP, which can also bring his championship to 6, FMVP to 4, plus two regular season MVPs, and 15 times to the All-NBA team, 15 times to the All-Defensive Team, among the top five in history, or even the top three.
And this championship also has a huge bonus for Wade, the top two are Jordan and Kobe Bryant, no one can shake it, and the reason why Wade is considered the third percentile in history is because he has three championships. And without that championship, Bosh wouldn't necessarily be in the Hall of Fame.
