Ten things to look for in the NBA Finals ...

1. Shaquille O'Neal is coming off a conference finals performance that a lot of people didn't believe he still had in him. He has lost nearly 30 pounds and the foot, ankle and knee problems of the past five seasons are gone.

What this really means: On the heels of what O'Neal accomplished in the Eastern Conference playoffs, he is making a huge statement that he's not content with the three championship rings he won with the Lakers. He does not just want to feast on Oreos and ice cream sandwiches once the season is over. He wants to gobble up more championship rings.

For all of O'Neal's light-heartedness, humor and desire to catch everybody off-guard whenever possible, he does take NBA history seriously. He wants to be included in the same breath as Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain as not only great players, but great champions. The Mavericks will take a shot at neutralizing the runaway Shaq Diesel with DeSagana Diop and Erick Dampier and may try playing small ball to mess with O'Neal. It won't work.

2. At 7-foot, 250 pounds, Dirk Nowitzki may very well be the toughest matchup in the NBA today, and he broke new ground with his offensive versatility during the Western Conference playoffs.

What this really means: Nowitzki made the transformation this season from a great talent to a great player. He has made the leap from a top-10 player to at least top five and maybe top three. With coaxing from his young coach Avery Johnson, Nowitzki learned it wasn't enough just to wow people with his ability to grab the ball off the rim and fly up the court with the capability of stopping on a dime and draining a 3-pointer.

This season, particularly in the playoffs, Nowitzki realized the advantage of his size and power at the basket as well as from the perimeter. The combination proved devastating to the Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns — all the way to a 12-5 postseason record — led by the frequently spectacular Nowitzki's 28.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists. Getting him under control with a combination of Udonis Haslem, Antoine Walker and maybe even James Posey is likely to be just as futile as the Mavs attempting to stop Shaq. There will be zone trap combinations — that you can count on.

3. A lot of people so obsessed with the development and dominant play of LeBron James have lost sight of how special Miami's All-NBA guard Dwyane Wade really is — on both sides of the court.

What this really means: In the first four games of the conference finals against the Pistons, Wade averaged 30.8 points and shot a record .695 from the field. He finally slowed down to .550 in Game 5, then struggled in Game 6 with the flu, but still shot 40 percent and finished the series shooting .671. However, that's only part of the story.

His spectacular ability allows him to take over games and energizes everyone around him. That includes not only shooting and exploding to the rim but creating for his teammates, grabbing rebounds, stealing passes and blocking shots. Just consider what the late Cotton Fitzsimmons used to refer to as his "spectacularism," with his 26.2 points, 6.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.06 steals and 1.18 blocks. And just for good measure, consider this advancement — a career .241 shooter from 3-point range, he's hit 11-of-26 from long range in this postseason, an upgrade to .423.

Any questions?

He is the lightning rod of the series, figuratively and literally.

4. The most underrated and vital player in this series may very well be Mavs swingman Josh Howard. Then again, despite being the ACC Player of the Year and a first team All-American from Wake Forest, he's used to it.

What this really means: Howard is one of those dream players capable of doing just about everything necessary to win games at a feverish pace. Whether it's shutting down key offensive players in the open court — as he did with Steve Nash late in the conference finals against the Suns — hitting 3-pointers, or crashing the boards, Howard is one of the most underrated players in the game today.

At 6-foot-7, he is three inches taller and much longer than Wade, although not quite as strong or physically explosive. It will be up to Howard to at least be a significant factor in slowing down the special Heat shooting guard. But if you think he's just about defense, you are sadly mistaken. Howard has averaged 17.4 points during the playoffs, while making .476 of his shots from the field, .413 from 3-point range and .808 from the free throw line. He is a complete player, who, as the last pick of the first round of that wondrous 2003 draft that produced the likes of James, Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Co., still plays with a chip on his shoulder.

It's hard to believe it's been 18 years since Pat Riley last won a title. Could that streak be over soon? (Luis Alvarez / Associated Press)

5. It's been 11 years since Pat Riley came to the Heat promising a championship parade down Biscayne Bay Boulevard, a dozen years since Pat Riley has coached in the NBA Finals and 18 since he's come home a victor — just imagine the validation another ring would bring to him at the age of 61.

What this really means: A lot has been said about the stunning exit of Heat coach Stan Van Gundy after an 11-10 start this season, just months after Heat president Pat Riley said he would be more hands-on this season and created the perception that Van Gundy was on a short leash. There is also plenty that has not been said, since Van Gundy is clearly under a gag order. Regardless, Riley has proven that he could add the mercurial personalities and talents of veterans Antoine Walker, Gary Payton, James Posey and Jason Williams, and make it work.

They got better as the year went on, and nobody wants to win more than Riles. Nobody ever did. That his New York Knicks lost a heart-breaking Game 7 to the Houston Rockets in 1994 was devastating. He moved to Miami, and the Heat ironically kept losing to the Knicks. Finally, as Alonzo Mourning went down with kidney disease and Tim Hardaway's body fell apart, Riley went into the front office and went about rebuilding this team. His crown jewels are Wade and O'Neal, although the return of Mourning thanks to a kidney transplant was an unexpected bonus. At this point of his career, nothing short of a championship will do. Misery won't begin to describe his feelings should he fail to win this one.

nice bashardo.
Who do you think is going to win this year?
It seems it will be very close!!! alot of experts are going with the mavs.!
I cant tell.???

"At 6-foot-7, he is three inches taller and much longer than Wade"

Uhm...okay...No comment.

miamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaq time

I saw the game last night, and it is my prediction that the Dallas Mavricks will be the new NBA champions. They are faster, younger, they have home court advantage.
I think shaq and wade are all alone in this. :(
My heart is with the miami heat and SHAQ, and i hope he can win it for Miami, but, Sadly, it will be dallas smiling at the end.
Dallas wins 4-2.
If miami wins, they will have to take game two.
comooooooon Shaq.
