Dwyane Wade looks really neat in NBA Live 06. Too bad even the videogame version’s gonna get spanked.
Screw Vegas. Put your money on the $7-plus billion per annum videogame industry. EA Sports, publishers of NBA LIVE 06, ran a videogame simulation of the NBA Finals and concluded that Dallas would grab its first NBA title on a final-seconds Dirk offensive rebound and dunk in the seventh game to chill the Heat 90-88. Dirk also swished and snatched his way to Finals MVP honors, averaging 25.3 points and 10 rebounds per game. Here’s the simulation run-down:
Game 1: Dallas 97 – Miami 90
Game 2: Miami 101 – Dallas 97 (OT)
Game 3: Dallas 93 – Miami 90
Game 4: Dallas 102 – Miami 101 (OT)
Game 5: Miami 93 – Dallas 81
Game 6: Miami 87 – Dallas 84
Game 7: Dallas 90 – Miami 88
