WHAT A VIDEO!!!Im a big mavs fan here in San Antonio,,this was the best game the mavs had vs the spurs. This was my 2nd best mavs team, the 03 mavs are my 1st but the 09 mavs are climbing up there...GO MAVS..09 CHAMPS!! Sincerely..Adan Sandoval...
I remember watching this game, and as a Mavs fan, this was probably one of the sweetest victories we've ever had. Winning Game 7, on the road, against our rival spurs, it was just amazing. Not many people know this, but the unsung hero of that game was actually Seganna Diop, for playing amazing defense on Tim Duncan down the stretch of the fourth quarter and overtime. It's a shame the Mavericks couldn't win the championship that year but I'm glad Dirk and Jason Terry finally got one in 2011.
As a Spurs fan, this is in the top 3 playoff series in my 22 years in this planet! From the low of being down 3-1 to tying the series at 3! Then starting slow in Game 7 then coming back to take the lead with Ginobili's to Ginobili fouling dirk. Damn so many memories and the ups and downs of this series man.
100spurs as a Mavs fan. I appreciate the greatness we saw during this time and miss it. Appreciate Duncan, Parker, and Ginoboli. I thought we lost when Many hit that three.
Damn lol I remember watching this video way back in 2006 when I was 11, just happened to come across this song on my Spotify playlist and it reminded me of this video. Had to revisit. Such a great team. Dirk is amazing. I remember Avery Johnson started Desagna Diop for the rest of the playoffs that year solely because of his defense on Tim Duncan in overtime of this game. And damn Stackhouse hitting all the shots in OT for the Mavs. Still remember this series, along with the Clippers-Suns that year and Pistons-Cavs. Those series' were so classic!
Wow just thought of this video, as I heard the song in a restaurant playing. This is still hands down the best playoff basketball game I ever watched live. Go Mavs!
The Mavs and Spurs have had some of the greatest games and series that i have ever had the privilege of watching. 2 classy organizations 6 championships 8 conference. championships countless great moments, and thats all you can ask for in a rivalry.
I love the fact that all us Mavs fans knew EXACTLY what video to come to, just to serve as a comfort, knowing that Dirk has been here before! I have every faith in Ellis, Dirk, Blair and the crew to pull us through to the second round ! Man I love this video
This series was one of the greatest I've ever seen. I would hope Spurs fans would say the same. Every single game came down to the last shot. They were basically evenly matched perfectly. So great.
I still remember sitting in front of the TV at 6 am watching that game in Germany and feeling empty after Ginboili hit that 3, it felt unfair. then the and1 happened
this is so stunning... you should make a dvd even its just 5 minutes long. this game was a thriller, this video is a monster, dirk is a beast! god bless ya, even the haters.
I think I have commented on this video before...but watching it still amazes me esp after the last two years of Mavericks basketball! I remember waiting nervously all weekend for this game 7 which was two days after my birthday then watching it at Fox Sports Grill in Frisco, TX. When we were down by 3 and Dirk was driving I kept yelling "we need an and one!" I thought he was just gonna shoot a jumper but was surprised he actually drove! Amazing.
roquey44 I thought about it and then thought about this video too when a game 7 was going to happen and said oh no not again! I am not going to lie I thought about it, but it did not happen again and this time they cruised like they were supposed to in a game 7, this one was not even remotely close throughout. Dallas played hard though, they gave it all they had. HC this time prevailed.
Hate to break everyone's hopes (mavs fans) but history will not repeat itself this time. We sent those bastards along with crybaby Blair & Neanderthal Nowitzki back where they came from. San Antonio's on their way to #5 championship !!!!!GO SPURS GO!!!!!
Awesome video. Especially the beginning, you really captured the ecstatic feeling that was in the stadium after ginobili drilled that 3. Too bad that moment was short-lived. Gotta say that I'm a Spurs fan but I still loved this series, Tim Duncan said it was the best series he'd ever played in and I think it was the best series anyone has seen in awhile.
Great Vid of a great game. With an amazing comeback of the Spus and then Dirk! And in the overtime Jerry coming up big! You need to update this vid in HQ! It's epic
Best highlight clip for mavs I have seen. Watched it dozens of times since it was posted a few years ago. Still get goosebumps. Hope this dude makes a championship video!
lol, yeah... i'm on a bball high right now and I also gotta say that the sequence of shots when Dirk is steppin up to complete the 3 point play and tie the game is beautifully done. With all the flashbacks coordinating with the music showing probably all the things he was thinking about at the time, all of the excitement in the game prior to that free throw that would probably decide the outcome. Just a beautifully done sequence of shots in the middle of a beautifully done video man.
lol and you know everytime i comment there's gonna be a second cuz that means that i watched the video and once again realized how beautifully made it is. There probably isn't a better song in existence to go with the highlights in the order that you have 'em. I wish you would make more videos like this man you're really good at 'em. Every cut is just perfect.
Hey man just commenting again cuz i love this video so much, I'm not even a mavs fan, i'll admit I'm a spurs fan but I love this video just the same. The moments @ like 0:17 w/ him raising his fists to the sky in happiness, Cuban's face @ about 0:37 and Ginobili's reaction at 1:00 go along perfectly with the music. Hah don't worry guys I'm not gonna bash on you kids arguing anymore, just had to say again how good this video is: good enough that a spurs fan is truly enjoying watching it.
We got you guys back this year for this, but yes this was their shining moment as a franchise I guess. This was a classic series for the times, good win there for the Mavs overthrowing their daddies.
One of the best series I EVER SAW, and I am a SPURS FAN! I loved it and hated it in the end. THIS wasa true classic series. My fave 7game series is the Detroit one personally! It was a war and we won the title.
One of the greatest series I've ever seen. I don't think we'll see another one like that for a while. In a non-biased opinion I think the Mavs were the better team and deserved to win.
amazing clip, this just shows that even though the spurs are a great team, they will always have the mavs who will own them in a playoff serious. GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!
From 2:25 for about a minute, the music calms down a bit, which matches the Spurs and their (admitted by a Spurs fan) mellow, slow pace of doing things. The series of clips when Dirk is @ the line to tie the game is beautifully done with how you flash in and out of closeups on his face.
I think we can all agree that watching Avery Johnson get his jersey retired last night was great. Good to see that there's such love between the organizations underneath the rivalry on the court. I liked seeing Avery get emotional during his speech, it was touching, probably because I'm so used to seeing people like us yell at each other on comment boards :-P
This series, this game, this moment, changed Dirk and the Mavs forever. They learned here for the first time that they could win it all, and despite the fact they did not do it last year not only do I think they win it this year, but if everything falls in place this might just be the start of a great run in NBA history.
Wow a point we agree on expos. But yes, this series as a whole was absolutely incredible. So many games were worthy of a comparison to March Madness and Game 7 was just a classic. It had everything, a pumped up first half, a big comeback in the second, a moment where the Spurs thought they had it won, and then an overtime with the younger Mavs flexing their muscles and the Spurs struggling to keep up and ultimately failing, couldn't have scripted it any better.
Spurs fan here mad props to real mavs fans this was a great series despite my team losing! Its really too bad the mavs didnt get their title that year.
From a die-hard Spurs fans since the early 90's, congrats to Dirk, J Kidd, and even Mark Cuban for winning their first title. I respect the Mavericks alot more as champs than I would've Boston or especially Miami. Can't wait for the Spurs to play the Mavs next year in the playoffs.
@TWex2121 THIS IS A CLASSIC, one of the best series ever! SPURS fan here, Tim played his mind out in his series! Finley too! They all showed up late! This is the best series IMO ever sides the fact we lost (Detroit is up there too but we won in 7, most were blowouts though games 1-4).
I still don't get why we all can't just appreciate how great both of these teams are and what a great show they put on in games like this game 7. When it all boils down to its essence, sports are just entertainment. And that's what the Spurs and Mavs do perfectly for us.
Everytime you close your eyes, Mavs, Mavs!!! 🤣 After all these years this is still my fav game in mavs history, maybe even more than game 6 vs the heat in 2011!!
Remember watching the Spurs take the lead and was kinda bummed due to seeing a possible upset by the Mavericks. Then Dirk had one of the biggest moments in his career, felt the Mavs got a little screwed in the 2006 Finals. Their 2011 Championship was sweet justice for Dirk and LeBron/Heatles haters
Awesome series. So many people hate on Dirk and say he chokes, yet he is rated higher than Kobe and Lebron when it comes down to fg % on shots taken less than 24seconds left when game is tied or down by 1.
12 years later and this is still the best mavs video on the internet
Thanks! :)
This is the video that got me hyped before highschool games. I'm 30 now, thank you@@corranhorn5
WHAT A VIDEO!!!Im a big mavs fan here in San Antonio,,this was the best game the mavs had vs the spurs.
This was my 2nd best mavs team, the 03 mavs are my 1st but the 09 mavs are climbing up there...GO MAVS..09 CHAMPS!!

QqQqüüüüüüü
I cry every year the mavs get out of the playoffs this lifted my spirits ill never forget this...
This was when the NBA was enjoyable to watch. Ahhh I miss these days.
Wow just thought of this video, as I heard the song in a restaurant playing. This is still hands down the best playoff basketball game I ever watched live. Go Mavs!
The Mavs and Spurs have had some of the greatest games and series that i have ever had the privilege of watching. 2 classy organizations 6 championships 8 conference. championships countless great moments, and thats all you can ask for in a rivalry.
I think this was the first UA-cam video I liked or might have added to favorites at that time.brings back great memories.
I love the fact that all us Mavs fans knew EXACTLY what video to come to, just to serve as a comfort, knowing that Dirk has been here before! I have every faith in Ellis, Dirk, Blair and the crew to pull us through to the second round ! Man I love this video
i love you.
Ace Feltman
SuperEugene41 Ugh, how I wish that comment was true!... Still a MFFL though.
ha yeah right. This Dallas team was a title contender who choked away championship. Any Maverick roster after 2012 is trash.
+jen harmer even if that was true, should we not watch the video anymore because of it? idiot.
dude - i ve said this before a couple months back, just saw the video again - just absolutely perfect. music and pictures are in perfect sync! love it
Damn this was almost 10 years ago, time flies
Damn this was 18 years ago
An oldie and a goodie. I remember when this video first came out, what an incredible feeling
just the best video ever.... huge emotions
That night was pure extacy....one of the best games and series i've ever seen. Great video.
This series was one of the greatest I've ever seen. I would hope Spurs fans would say the same. Every single game came down to the last shot. They were basically evenly matched perfectly. So great.
Must watch every year during playoffs. Great memories. Great video. Go Mavs!!
I still remember sitting in front of the TV at 6 am watching that game in Germany and feeling empty after Ginboili hit that 3, it felt unfair. then the and1 happened
this is so stunning...
you should make a dvd even its just 5 minutes long.
this game was a thriller, this video is a monster, dirk is a beast!
god bless ya, even the haters.
Upload Date is June 12......June 12 2011 anyone? LETS. GO. MAVS.
Im from the future Mavs lost against miami
Who’s here with me in 2023? Shit, I knew about this video back in 2012 (8th grade), now its been 11 years lol. Crazy how this is a vid back in 06
"History repeats itself"
I think I have commented on this video before...but watching it still amazes me esp after the last two years of Mavericks basketball! I remember waiting nervously all weekend for this game 7 which was two days after my birthday then watching it at Fox Sports Grill in Frisco, TX. When we were down by 3 and Dirk was driving I kept yelling "we need an and one!" I thought he was just gonna shoot a jumper but was surprised he actually drove! Amazing.
Gonna happen again.
Dude, you know San Antonio fans are dreading this.
roquey44 I thought about it and then thought about this video too when a game 7 was going to happen and said oh no not again! I am not going to lie I thought about it, but it did not happen again and this time they cruised like they were supposed to in a game 7, this one was not even remotely close throughout. Dallas played hard though, they gave it all they had. HC this time prevailed.
+roquey44 lol no one in San Antonio was worried about that neutered Dallas roster in 2014.
I remember watching this video when I was a teenager, haha.
Hate to break everyone's hopes (mavs fans) but history will not repeat itself this time. We sent those bastards along with crybaby Blair & Neanderthal Nowitzki back where they came from. San Antonio's on their way to #5 championship !!!!!GO SPURS GO!!!!!
I love this video. Dirk, thanks! One of the most breathtaking moments in my life...
I love this video...been watching this since i was a child. Thank you Dirk. #Mffl
I was 21 when this video first came out. I’m 35 now, mavs forever!!! But will always respect the Spurs!
Awesome video. Especially the beginning, you really captured the ecstatic feeling that was in the stadium after ginobili drilled that 3. Too bad that moment was short-lived.
Gotta say that I'm a Spurs fan but I still loved this series, Tim Duncan said it was the best series he'd ever played in and I think it was the best series anyone has seen in awhile.
Fan of this video for over 10 years, still can't stop smirking during all of its duration.
I watch this every year in the playoffs. 15 years later and this is still my favorite Mavs vid.
amazing mix
Great Vid of a great game. With an amazing comeback of the Spus and then Dirk! And in the overtime Jerry coming up big!
You need to update this vid in HQ! It's epic
Best highlight clip for mavs I have seen. Watched it dozens of times since it was posted a few years ago. Still get goosebumps. Hope this dude makes a championship video!
lol, yeah... i'm on a bball high right now and I also gotta say that the sequence of shots when Dirk is steppin up to complete the 3 point play and tie the game is beautifully done.

Just a beautifully done sequence of shots in the middle of a beautifully done video man.
No words! Just reminds me I love the mavs! I think its the best video since....ever.
lol and you know everytime i comment there's gonna be a second cuz that means that i watched the video and once again realized how beautifully made it is. There probably isn't a better song in existence to go with the highlights in the order that you have 'em.
I wish you would make more videos like this man you're really good at 'em. Every cut is just perfect.
by the look on dirk's face you know this is the year. He will do ANYTHING for that ring
Need a high def version of this =D
Greatest video on youtube that deals with the mavericks. NEVER delete this please.
This is classic. Been watching this video for years!
Still watching in 2021
this is an incredible video. one of the greatest games in dallas mavericks history, way to do it justice.
I love this video...I find myself watching it 4 or 5 times a week...Great Job!
This video brings back so much wonderful memories
1 of the best videos on youtube, gets me pumped up and i aint even a mavs fan! awesome editing job
This video is so well done! God bless you Sir
Can't believe it's been a decade. Thank god Dirk got his chip.
Eu amen to that bro
Hey man just commenting again cuz i love this video so much, I'm not even a mavs fan, i'll admit I'm a spurs fan but I love this video just the same. The moments @ like 0:17 w/ him raising his fists to the sky in happiness, Cuban's face @ about 0:37 and Ginobili's reaction at 1:00 go along perfectly with the music. Hah don't worry guys I'm not gonna bash on you kids arguing anymore, just had to say again how good this video is: good enough that a spurs fan is truly enjoying watching it.
watch this video almost once a day, such a great video
Thanks man, that's high praise. Always nice to hear from a classy fan.
MAn! THis freakin video is the best on youtube. Always gives me the chils......MAVS FOREVER
We got you guys back this year for this, but yes this was their shining moment as a franchise I guess. This was a classic series for the times, good win there for the Mavs overthrowing their daddies.
this video amazing. i remember that shot, one of the greatest moments in mavs history taking down the spurs. GO MAVS!!!
One of the best series I EVER SAW, and I am a SPURS FAN! I loved it and hated it in the end. THIS wasa true classic series. My fave 7game series is the Detroit one personally! It was a war and we won the title.
very nice video! I still remember this heart pounding game 7! dirk is the best!
still an incredibly put together video though. I'll never get over how well the music goes with every single shot and scene.
i remember when we got dirk.. i absolutely love the mavs and the game of basketball. couldn't live without either one.
Good video
i believe that this will be the most interesting series in the first round this year
Great stuff, man. This video is just amazing. Game, Music, Editing - Superior!
One of the greatest series I've ever seen. I don't think we'll see another one like that for a while. In a non-biased opinion I think the Mavs were the better team and deserved to win.
Best Game 7 ever.
Almost
Lakers Kings 2002 edges slightly IMO..
I’m here in 2022 after the 4 seeded Mavs just overthrew the 1 seeded Suns in game 7 of the conference semifinals. Kinda similar to this, huh?
amazing clip, this just shows that even though the spurs are a great team, they will always have the mavs who will own them in a playoff serious. GO MAVS!!!!!!!!!!
wow this is one of the best nba movies on youtube i have seen
This was possibly the greatest NBA 7 game series of all time! Will never forget it!
From 2:25 for about a minute, the music calms down a bit, which matches the Spurs and their (admitted by a Spurs fan) mellow, slow pace of doing things. The series of clips when Dirk is @ the line to tie the game is beautifully done with how you flash in and out of closeups on his face.
Best BBALL game i have ever seen FANTASTIC DIRK MVP
this game was the first I ever participated at, owesome game, great atmosphere. Unforgetable!
best nba series ive EVER witnessed,....too bad we never finished the job.
Those Stackhouse jumpers were clutch in OT. 2nd best series of NBA Playoffs in last 20 years according to me, 1st is Lakers Kings 2002 WCF.
Randomly also the 2009 series between the Celtics and the Bulls 5 of the 7 games were 3 points or less.
I think we can all agree that watching Avery Johnson get his jersey retired last night was great. Good to see that there's such love between the organizations underneath the rivalry on the court. I liked seeing Avery get emotional during his speech, it was touching, probably because I'm so used to seeing people like us yell at each other on comment boards :-P

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen.
i watched this game live. I thought "the mavs blew it!" when Manu's 3 went in, so did mark cuban. Thanks for the video
Wow a point we agree on expos. But yes, this series as a whole was absolutely incredible. So many games were worthy of a comparison to March Madness and Game 7 was just a classic.

amazing, unforgetable game I have ever seen live on TV!
Spurs fan here mad props to real mavs fans this was a great series despite my team losing! Its really too bad the mavs didnt get their title that year.
Spurs fan here, good post sir! You guys deserved that title over the Heat! It was just proof justice does happen every once in a while!
Still, this video is good. The music, the scene selection... AMAZING!
From a die-hard Spurs fans since the early 90's, congrats to Dirk, J Kidd, and even Mark Cuban for winning their first title. I respect the Mavericks alot more as champs than I would've Boston or especially Miami. Can't wait for the Spurs to play the Mavs next year in the playoffs.
Amazing video. I'm not too much of a bball fan but I have to admit this is awesome.
every part of the video was just perfect.. (:
Greatest sports moment as a mavs fan gotta say
Best Performance for Mavs that I've seen!!!!
@TWex2121 THIS IS A CLASSIC, one of the best series ever! SPURS fan here, Tim played his mind out in his series! Finley too! They all showed up late! This is the best series IMO ever sides the fact we lost (Detroit is up there too but we won in 7, most were blowouts though games 1-4).
I still don't get why we all can't just appreciate how great both of these teams are and what a great show they put on in games like this game 7.
When it all boils down to its essence, sports are just entertainment. And that's what the Spurs and Mavs do perfectly for us.
what a beautifully crafted video! keep up the damn good work!
One of the greatest series in NBA history. Dirk used that exact same move in the massive comeback vs the heat in the 2011 finals.
Everytime you close your eyes, Mavs, Mavs!!! 🤣
After all these years this is still my fav game in mavs history, maybe even more than game 6 vs the heat in 2011!!
GO SPURS!!!! Heres to a good series man, lets hope for good health and clean games.
Dirk Nowitzki. Amazing. Amazing in Game 4 against the Thunder and amazing in this game too.
I remember watching this game at hooters my junior year in high school, oh the memories
We can do it again. We will do it again. Game 7, 2014. Here we come.
Remember watching the Spurs take the lead and was kinda bummed due to seeing a possible upset by the Mavericks. Then Dirk had one of the biggest moments in his career, felt the Mavs got a little screwed in the 2006 Finals. Their 2011 Championship was sweet justice for Dirk and LeBron/Heatles haters
Awesome series. So many people hate on Dirk and say he chokes, yet he is rated higher than Kobe and Lebron when it comes down to fg % on shots taken less than 24seconds left when game is tied or down by 1.
This video is epic. Nice song to go along with it too.
Godo job.
Greatest NBA game I've ever seen
