Question by KING (Doesn’t stand 4 Lebron!): Who fault was it that Howard was so “high” that he caused Dallas their final timeout in GM 5, The Refs or Josh?
In game 5 of the 2006 NBA Finals with 1.9 seconds left in regulation, Josh Howard was so high that he called his team’s final timeout while Wade was at the line. That caused them to have to dribble down court instead of advancing the ball for a better shot.

Here is video of him motioning his hands while walking of the floor..

Who fault was that, The Refs or Josh Howard
It was not a “player coach conversation”. Video shows Howard WALKING OFF the floor while motioning timeout. You can’t blame the refs buddy!
Best answer:
Answer by Sheedtastic
It’s a player-coach conversation, how does the ref get in the way?
Whose fault was it that Battier driving to the basket and Wade ran into him (not a foul?) and bump him in the shoulder and ended up injuried himself. Is that mean Battier is stronger than Wade? Or Wade is just a pu$$y, or he is just that weak?

What do you think? Answer below!
If not Howard, I blame then Dallas coach Avery Johnson for not taking charge of the situation and tell the team to CONCENTRATE during the final seconds.
LOL… OH YEAH!!!! I forgot about that. Ha!
That’s what he gets for taking bong hits during halftime.
Nice one.

Lame angry intent gone bad… LOL… someone needs to teach him how bust up a locker room.
1) He is not overrated. Wilt was a great scorer…but Wilt was not a great Winner.
2)Jordan did win six rings with one of the best all around player’s (PiP).
But look at Bird or Magic’s roster’s when they were winning.They had 3-4 HOF on there roster and won less. Celtics had the greatest front line ever!
3)Yes the bulls still played well after Jordan retired …. Pip had a lot to do with that…bottom line they couldn’t get it done.They couldn’t close the deal……what separates good from great ?..closing the deal and winning the championship. If anything that proved Pippen is underrated.
______________________________________
Bird played with a lot of HOF..from Mchale, Parish,Walton and Tiny (?hof)to Maxwell (?hof) he won 3 rings.
Bird is a great player..Jordan is a little(2 rings) better.
______________________________________
Jordan’s has 3 ring’s on Bird..1 on Magic.You can’t compare era’s….from Clyde.Barkley,Magic,Stock/Malone to Payton/Kemp he played some great teams…..anyways I don’t think it’s about the stats with Jordan.He had something special, I don’t know exactly what ,but I know it was there.He connected to more people then any athlete ever…that’s what really made him great.
______________________________________
The fact we are even talking about him now ..means he’s the greatest……
The question is why was he the most marketed athlete?When you answer that, you will find out why he is great
He was a underdog who became a champion amongst champions! The greatest ever!………………….
______________________________________
We are the fans who love the game of basketball.We are the ones who dream of last second shot’s to win the game….We are the ones who dream of being on “fire” in the NBA finals..We imagine soaring through the air and dunking…We are the fan’s..we are the ones who have the love for the game.
Michael Jordan will always be that kid dreaming…..something inside him made him never forget his love for the game.He will always be that fan dreaming of becoming a champion….he will always be just one of us.
This is what made him great.
______________________________________
Pure skill and a undying love for the game, made him arguably the greatest ever…………so let’s recap..
He’s great..the most entertaining player ever(you said it).He is a champion(second to only “the great Bill russell”)he is the second greatest scorer (only behind Wilt) Appealed to more people and was marketed to more people then any other ATHLETE in HISTORY!
So how in the hell is he overrated?….hope you have more then meaningless stats and a 5yrs without PiP.
______________________________________
Of course if Jordan didn’t have great teammates he would have been a great player with no rings…similar to Dominique Wilkins
In order to be considered the greatest you have to be a NBA champion.Would MJ be a champion without Pip?…no.Would Magic be a champion without Kareem?..doubt it How about Bird without Parish etc… All these great players had pure skill and they were blessed to have great teammates also.With skill, love for the game and great teammates they all had a chance to become champions….and all three ,Bird,Magic and Jordan capitalized on it…….that’s what separated them from their peers.Then Jordan separated himself from them…when you look at his whole body of work (his winning,his legacy,his stats, but MOST! importantly who he is) he is the greatest.
