Cuban said the 2006 championship was robbed, US media data sparked heated discussion

On August 28, the NBA entered the offseason. Recently, the remarks of former Mavericks boss Cuban have attracted heated discussions, saying that the team was stolen from the championship in 2006. In response, the US media showed the free throw data of the Mavericks and the Heat in 2006, and the comparison between the two sides was shocking.

In the 2006 finals, the Mavericks once took a 2-0 lead. Just when everyone thought they would beat the Heat to win the championship, the Heat then won four consecutive games to reverse the championship. This is the first time that the Mavericks have reached the finals in the history of the Mavericks, and this series has also caused Nowitzki to be criticized that year.

When talking about this final, Cuban said: "It is a pain for us to stolen the 2006 championship. I believe it was taken from us until I died. Until we won the championship in 2011, the narrative was completely rewritten, and the emotions would heal over time."

In this regard, the US media ClutchPoints listed a set of data from the 2006 finals: the Heat scored 207 free throws, the Mavericks only scored 155 free throws, and the Heat scored 52 more free throws than the Mavericks. In the fifth game of the finals, Heat star Wade made 25 free throws by himself, while the Mavericks made only 25 free throws. The Heat finally won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain 101-100. However, five years later, the Mavericks finally took revenge on the Heat led by James, Wade, Bosh, and Nowitzki and his teammates eventually won their first NBA championship.
