i have, and you speculate. i wasn't referring to his triple double, but to that way he played in the fourth quarter and overtime. he took over like he can and should in the second and fourth (team seems to like the third tho), and was also leaning on how he played in last years finals. spoelstra finally said stop parker to him the way he said stop durant last year. what i really don't get is how a 28year old current player has a legacy already.

Well, I get what you are saying about the legacy thing... I mean people were talking about it before he won anything. But... the fact is everyone knows he is great, how great that is yet to be seen. No one gets as much hate and love at the same time if they are not great.
He came into the nba out of highschool with a 100 million dollar contract before he set foot on the floor. He has an absurd nike deal, one that may only be passed by Wades Lining Deal, if his shoes are ever released in the US.
Off topic, one thing that still gets me is that people hate him for doing the "decision" the way he did. Yet people either don't care or don't know that his little live ESPN The Decision special raised over 6 million dollars for various charities "it is known". It was a whole special put together by agent Ari Emanuel with ESPN.
