ONE-OF-A-KIND Collectors edition 2 DVD set:
The story of The Miami Heat 2006 WHITE HOT Championship Season - 15 Strong:
Relive the all the excitement and drama of the Miami Heat's 2005-2006 roller coast journey to the NBA Championship.
Disc ONE
Includes Highlights of all the post season beginning with the 1st round all the way through to the Game 6 victory of the NBA Finals. Also included is rarely seen footage of post-game and locker room interviews throughout the playoffs.
Disc TWO
Includes Live local news coverage of the Parade of Champions in downtown Miami – 3 hours of coverage IN ITS ENTIRETY! Also included is rare footage of the HEAT PRIVATE PARTIES at the Dallas Hotel (the night of their Championship win), Pride 112 Miami Beach Steak House (later that week on Thursday).
The Live coverage of the 'White Hot Champions parade' is of excellent quality, compelling and in its entirety. Also, the quality of this DVD production, particularly the DVD menus, are top notch in part because they are rich with inspiring transitions and montages. The LIVE coverage gives you a close-up perspective you won’t find anywhere else unless you were there or watched it in South Florida as it happened. From cameras and local reporters on the street, to keen insights from the players during press conference interviews, and even interviews with fans on the streets, When you relive that day through the lens of Miami’s hometown media, you’ll understand why Pat Riley said he’d never experienced such love and support like the fans of Miami showed on that joyous day.
Compared to the few minutes of parade coverage the Sports Illustrated DVD provided at the end with the credits, this DVD was created for True Fans who want to be taken onto the streets and up close to all the pageantry of that day.
