But no shot in his entire career was more meaningful to his team than the one he hit at the end of regulation in last night's Game Six of the NBA Finals. A miss would have resulted in the Heat's elimination. Instead, he buries the shot, the Heat win in overtime, and we are going to Game Seven.

Game Five of the NBA Finals saw the return of Manu Ginobili to the spotlight, as he played his best game of the year in the most important game of the year. That, combined with Danny Green becoming the most prolific three point shooter in a single NBA Finals ever, propelled the Spurs to a win and a 3-2 series lead. Tonight, we will either have a new champion, or a Game Seven.

After their embarassing game three loss, the Heat would probably benefit from a different approach. There is chatter coming from Miami that they may move Lebron James to center and start Mike Miller, which would create some intriguing matchup difficulties for the Spurs.
