The 2006 Heat Covertly Partied Their Way to a Championship, ft. Antoine Walker
Tuesday, 17 September, 2024

After losing in 7 games to the Pistons in the 2005 East Finals, Heat President Pat Riley knew he had to make moves fast. With an aging Shaq and a ready-to-win-now Dwyane Wade, Riley knew Miami's window was shrinking. That summer, Riley completely re-hauled the roster, bringing in veterans Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, James Posey and Gary Payton. But when the team - led by Head Coach Stan Van Gundy - stumbled out of the gate, Riley took matters into his own hands, firing Van Gundy and re-taking the head coaching reigns. The rest was history. Antoine Walker joins the show to talk about his introduction to Heat Culture and their road to a championship. 00:00 Beginning 01:53 Club Shiznit / 2005 Celtics 02:30 Pat Riley Replacing Stan Van Gundy 08:58 Shaq and Wade’s Relationship 12:15 Introduction to Heat Culture / Weight Tests 19:25 Gary Payton 24:03 Coach Spo’s Influence on Dwyane Wade 28:21 2006 Bulls 33:06 Refereeing in 2006 Finals 35:06 Dwyane Wade vs Paul Pierce 35:57 Championship Celebration + Alcohol Poisoning 41:05 Lore of UCLA Summer Pickup Runs 47:05 Why Toine is Upset with Chicago Basketball 49:00 Michael Jordan Summer Time Chi Runs Learn more about your ad choices.
