The ’06 Finals MVP Almost Wasn’t In South Beach
Celtics coach and former Magic head man, Doc Rivers, recently chatted with Mike Lupica on ESPN New York and revealed his miss on trading up for Dwayne Wade. A close call, well, not exactly.
Rivers, a Marquette alum himself, had this to say about the chances of almost getting Wade:
“Obviously he went to Marquette. I watched him practice. I will tell you a quick story. Dwyane came in to work out with us when I was coaching the Magic and he really shouldn’t have. I think we were the 15th pick or the 14th pick. He had no business coming. He just came because of the Marquette connection.
