@@ewa1275 also andre miller
Mavericks suck, they ain't going nowhere near that trophy. Not now or later.
Dallas proves that you just need players who knows their roles well and good defence, that’s all u need to win.
Dirk is a legend . He took out so many stacked teams with multiple hall of famers. Beating the heat that year was unreal. Straight killer dirk is
Dont talk like dallas wasnt stacked with all stars and experienced vets. They had a top 10 PG all time in Kidd and probably a top 10 PF plus so many great role players including a prime chandler (dpoy next year) come on these guys are all on the same level as he heat trio but everybody slept on them
the thought is Dirk was a kind of player that don't give up easily specially even the odds seem so tough, if you watch the Dallas playoff run, considering the line up of teams they hav to go through from the blazers, the lakers, the thunders and finally this 3 of heat. this is the greatest playoff run ever. and The Mavericks was out of radar to remind you but ended up putting its name to history of nba.
@@danielcepeda1522 but they failed to repeat it so it really was a one shot effort
@@adil8701 j Kidd was way past his prime but very good still and chandler was indeed a beast on the boards but he was no bosh bro…the less talented team won cause they wanted it more..
@@gothamlob5706 and they were better coached and they had a unicorn in Dirk who made an impressive run he could never duplicate again
It’s weird watching 5 consecutive minutes without a foul call… this was prime basketball
And players weren't jumping up and down complaining every time down the court. Bliss
@@yojfarha6144 amen
it’s a finals game they usually let reach in fouls go unless it’s a hard one
This comment is underrated. Truly was basketball entertainment at its peak
Also… great 1v1 defense.
arguably one of the greatest title runs ever. “We gave him no one, and he gave us a championship.”-Mark Cuban on Dirk
The were a TEAM
No one? They had J.Kidd, Marion, Young Tyson Chandler, Jason the Jet, & Dirk…..
@@209euro2 they weren't all star players that season - dirk led them himself
@@209euro2 Jason Kidd was avg like 6-3-5 that year. None of them were all star. Chandler and terry were important but it was solely dirk
@@anthonymeier628 not true. His stats were 8-8-4,5 that year
I don't care what anyone says, this is the greatest solo run in nba history
Disrespectful to Terry and Kidd tbh. Dirk was the lone superstar but you CANNOT win alone.
Hakeem 1994 and Duncan 2003 are better. But this is top 3
@@Abbad1579 I think the dallas one is better. They beat kobe and the lakers, the young thunder with harden, kd, and westbrook. The Miami big 3
@@magnify2589 hakeem was better because he was doing more job on his own. Especially because he was a big men going againt other superstar big mens. As a complete underdog too. His team was not even close to being one of the best. Dallas had enough role players stepping up in that run. They also were tied with the Lakers and a couple games above Thunder
100 percent agree with you. The talent they beat is unfathomable, hard to put into context
Hakeem is a close second.
Dirks turnaround is so iconic been trying to mimic it since I was a kid. Legend 🏀
Me too. That move to get by bosh is a lot harder than he made it look
bich no
watching Dirk makes is look playing basketball specially shooting the hoops looks basically easy.
We don’t talk about the Mavericks 2011 playoff run enough
we got spoiled by lebron kawhi curry throughout the decade
We don’t talk about your handshake with Shaq enough
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Mavs are the only team from the 2010’s that didn’t feature the same superstar player or team. It’s easy to forget such a great run from a well molded team because of how the rest of that decade went. One of the main reasons why I prefer the early 2010’s to the later 2010’s.
Because Lebum spoiled by Adam Silver..It hurt his legacy

Bro, I’m a mavericks fan and dirk is by a mile my favorite player. When we won the WCF, I cried. Best year ever.
I was at G3 of the finals. Even though they lost that one the sheer energy and electricity in that building was out of this world. The Mavs have a truly one of a kind connection with their city.
That's awesome man. Hoop is life!!
WCF against who?
i feel you bro.
Can’t imagine how you felt when the Mavs won the chip
My man Dirk scored 7 points in the last 60 seconds of the game, including the game winner. In a must win nba finals game. It doesnt get more clutch than that!
It blows my mind how calm and collected he stayed and never seemed nervous or anything
@@heystara7318that’s greatness
Must win? hahahah casual
True, but he wasn't the only one making clutch plays for Dallas. Kidd and Marion made clutch plays and were playing great defense during the comeback.
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 they couldn’t go down 0-2 in the finals, a 1-1 split going home is crucial so it was a must win

I cried after that layup, that game really was the best sports moment I ever witnessed.
Dirk was locked-in and was not going to be stopped. It truly is a historic game.
I cried in laughter at the end when wade fell on the ground looking for a foul 😂 LMFAOOOOOOOOO he was so used to getting bailout calls
@@Michael-qg1ghthe Lebron effect
This was such a great time period. Everyone coming together to root for the Mavericks because it was the first year the big three were formed. On paper you’d think the Heat would easily win, even when you know the outcome today.
Funny how Cuban broke it up to try and get the Defensive Player of the Year in Dwight Howard and Lets Tyson go, Who went on to be the Defensive Player of the Year.
Mavs lost 4 out of 5 to the extremely talented Thunder the next year but in 3 of those losses they had it tied in the final minute(or minutes).
Tyson would have certainly been a factor and therefore it's likely the Mavs go back to the Finals instead of the Thunder and yeah they might lose to the Cheat that time, But if they gave the Heat any Friction at all, You might have seen them fold up like they did in this series, especially knowing that they not only knew but also Dallas Knew they could beat them.
Yup, the chosen one turned into the frozen one that year. 😂😂😂.
Bad ball though. Mavericks were actually s**** but Miami was worse
Mavs didn't win a playoff game in 2012 (1st round sweep) and didn't win a playoff series in 2010.
Safe to say that the 2011 Mavs title run was a fluke.
@@grimweeper1322 Fluke or not they won. Doesn't matter how they did it.
Heat not knowing what to do on offense is crazy 💀
True 😂
My thoughts exactly 🤣
and people call LeBron the best ever lmfao what a fucking joke
@joceja23 shut up
It’s common they always look confused on the floor especially when the game is on the line
Dirk and Marion were my two favorite players of the 2000's.... seeing them win a championship together is my favorite NBA memory of all-time!
Besides those two, I was so happy seeing Kidd and Peja getting a ring.
the moment Dirk gave a hug to Jason Terry was my highlight after the game.
Marion = UNLV
24-5 run to end a game in the finals is insane still blows my mind how lost Lebron and Wade were this series
wade was the best player in the series wdym
Stop, it was the entire team. The offense went through LeBron. They had no sharpshooters on that team, either. Miek Miller and Battier were MONSTERS that next year and helped them tremendously
@@arsenioseslpodcast3143 Bron and Wade we’re lost on Offense this series it is what it is Bron put up 8 points that’s got nothing to do with the teammates
@@Crow5537 It's a team game so it does. Teammates can draw pressure, better passes, etc.
Regardless if he had a bad game individually, the team had a worse game collectively.
@@CURichard2019 watch that game over again and come back with something better
My Heat thought they had it won, but Dirk was cool calm collected and certainly calculating with that layup in the last 3 seconds. Like damn!
Whole world was rooting for the Mavs. Prime dirk top 5 most unguardable players ever
This Dallas Mavericks is like Liecester City in EPL What an Iconic run Dirk Nowitzki you are Legend !!!
Men.. its 11yrs ago but the memories is still fresh. Im a mavs fan for 20yrs. And this is one of the sweetest moment of my life that i will never forget.
My favorite part is Wade flopping on that last shot and looking at the refs when they didn’t fall for it. Much different than the 06 Finals when the Mavs couldn’t look at Wade without getting whistled for a foul.
Wade dominated this series

One of the sweetest Finals runs. After Lebron and Wade made fun of Nowitzki’s illness and of course the famous “NOT ONE… NOT TWO..” chants before the season even started, this made them shut their mouths
But they were actually referring to the number of NBA finals LeBron would be losing his entire career. Not one.. not two.. not three.. pretty accurate eh?!
@@burigs you making jokes but at then end bron has 4 rings and dirk ?

First? You definitely tuned into the NBA at the right time.
@@mosesdevadass6056 Oh yeah. I know. Miami Big 3, Lob City, the beginning of the great Warriors.
@@ht82smash To be honest, it was nice seeing the Warriors emerge but that was also when I stopped enjoying watching the game. For everyone it’s different, but before the Warriors it was more team oriented on all ends of the offense and not really three heavy. I do continue watching the NBA but it hasn’t felt the same ever since the Spurs hoisted up that trophy in 2014. It’s apparent nowadays since so many young fellas work on their three pointers and trying to be as flashy as possible without working on fundamentals like a mid range.
@@mosesdevadass6056 I'm saying. And people ring chasing too. I haven't watched NBA like I used to. This season and last are the ones where I have kept up with it more than I have in a long time
Same man...
This has to be the most respected championship ever. This ring has lots of weights to it. On God 👏🏾👏🏾Drik Handled Bosh, Wade, and Bron like a real man. 🐐
as if tim duncan didnt ? as if paul george wasnt a few points away from eliminating them in the eastern conference finals? the heat were not some invincible juggernaut .. now if they did it to the 2017 warriors at full health then we should be impressed.
Dirk was unbelievable the whole playoffs and finals. One of the best clutch and best performances of all timeZ up with jordon
Dirk was really clutch during the 2011 Playoff run, and really clutch in the Finals, however Dirk didn't play that well overall in the 2011 Finals. Statistically Dirk's numbers can't come close to any MJ playoff run, and especially in the Finals. And especially because Jordan was also a great defender.
Dirk was fantastic in the 2011 Playoffs, but it was really the whole team that was most impressive. Dirk only had to score 17 points in the closeout game against the Lakers and Dallas won 122-86.
Forgot how legendary Dirk's performance was in this game.
Just finished that heat team by himself 💯😁
All team contributed... re-watch film..
Literally wasn’t all dirk at all lol. Zero defense by him. The defense or lack of offense by the heat is the main factor
The very first possession of this clip LeBron leaves KIdd open for the 3 then gets mad at Chalmers even tho LeBron the one that made the defensive mistake & left him open 🤦🏾♂️
He’s the most overrated basketball player of all time
Nah LeBron was guarding Terry he was playing free safety Chalmers got caught in a screen and gave up on chasing Kidd

DIRK NOWITZKI ~ My fave NBA player of all time!
They literally scored 3 points in this whole stretch even some wide open ones. The stars have aligned for mavs. Dirk played like a beast.
Dirk deserves to be mentioned when you talk about the most clutch players of all time!! Man was an absolute bucket
The legend Dirk Nowitzki
Dirk the legacy slayer
"What is Jason Terry doing?" Still makes me laugh
In my opinion this is one of the most impressive championship we ever saw
Best Finals Ever! Nowitzki THE GOAT
I rem watching this whole series. One of my exes in texas was watching it on her tv and me in california. I still have the 2011 champ sweatshirt she mailed me after. This series made me a dirk fan actually i loved this whole lineup....i was so pissed when they basically got rid of the whole squad during that off season and hence they havent won since. I am now a spurs fan but i wouldnt mind Dallas and luka getting another chip.
Dirk was in his bag no doubt but the Mavs role players need more respect, they did exactly what you want from your role players. Timely shot making and great defense. Everyone played their role to perfection to win this ring. Stevenson, Barea, Terry and Chandler were all great
We talking about all star role players that was not kcp or aaron gordon with all due respect it wzs3 jason freaking kidd tyson dpoy chandler and shawn Super marion.

@@R.G.1909 dont react like they were washed and retired these dudes were more than solid role players they were championship caliber players period.
@@R.G.1909 Kidd, Marion, and Chandler were some of the very best defenders of that era. It is no fluke that this was LeBron's worst playoff series ever. Kidd was 38 years old in those playoffs, and he led all players in those playoffs with 40 Steals, and he also added 10 Blocks. Kidd also led the playoffs that season in Assists and Three-Pointers made. Kidd also hit arguably the most clutch shots of both the WCF and the Finals. Bro, that's Jason Kidd out there, you can't turn that brain off.
Dirk was crazy with that slippery illusive playstyle with his size
One of the best individually playoff runs ever, what Dirk did was just amazing .
Dirk unforgettable game... 😭
Greatest comeback in NBA final history. Lebron all time CHOKED 2011 finals. 2011 dirk is goated 🐐🐐

DIRK honored my love for basketball.
Dirk Dirk Dirk
In an interview LeBron said it still hurts thinking about this game... It's THAT kind of an ass kicking.
When good defeats evil
I remember watching this like it was yesterday.
This was the match where I discovered my third best player of all time after MJ and Kobe - Dirk Nowitzki.
Factsssss
you mean your third favorite player
Dirk is one of the greatest no doubt. To say that he did a carry job is unacceptable and moronic. Mavs team had a group of playoff hardened veterans who fought as hard as they could on what was probably their last good year.
peja, marion, terry and kidd were all on a mission that year
I completely agree. Dallas was the better *team.* The defense Kidd, Marion, and Chandler played throughout that playoff run is often forgotten, but Kidd and Marion particularly played some of the best perimeter defense I've ever seen against some of the best opponents. Kidd is a freaking *LEGEND* for playing the role he did at 38 years old! 40 Steals and 10 Blocks, from an old guy whose lost a couple steps and can barely get off the ground when he jumps!
You know nothing
@@DroManJoYou clearly don’t if you disagree with what he said
As a suns fan I was happy to see Marion win a chip. He was always a great energy player and good defender
Nowitzki and duncan are the greatest forwards/centers i ever watched till this day.
The funny thing is that everyone says Nowitski did it alone. But then JJ Barea defeated Lebron. Or no one saw Jason Kid nor Jason Terry nor Marion. It's crazy
Honestly, true fans do not say this. We know Nowitzki had great support! He definitely did not do it on his own. Now, take Dirk out of the equation and they do not win the title. But that's true of ANY team that wins the title. Pick your best player and take him off the court, you don't win.
jj barea defeated lebron? what?
@@williamchromebookpeterson take dirk they are a 10 seed team at best. Half of the team wasn't averaging above 10 pts and dirk had to play all 4 qtrs.
The defense was stout! Kidd, Marion, and Chandler is quite the defensive trio! Also what Kidd brings to the offense as the PG can't be understated, his fingerprints were all over that team. But Dirk of course was far and away their MVP. The team was also very deep.
LOVE YOU DIRK
The greatest nba championship run, by far.
Dirk was absolutely unbelievable
Still one of the greatest finals run in the history of the league. Dirk is a legend.
No Power forward in the history of the NBA won a championship the way Dirk did this playoff run. Just unbelievable
Tim Duncan won 5 what do you mean? Lol
Dirk the only 7 footer with a 3pt shot *before* Durant

Dear NBA!
Please consider putting up whole consensus great games from the past (no matter what decade cause I had no access to watch games in my country) this is the diamond year and I think I'm not alone with very little knowledge of the 75... But sometimes a game is special for something else...
and fellows all over the world who love the game!
Please support the idea or something like that... Maybe we'll get some games in the off season!
Never gets old. Always remember watching this moment like yesterday lol
This game really saved Nowitzki’s legacy. There’s no way the mavericks would have won the series had they lost this game, would have been down 2-0
He saved his legacy by himself in the last 60 seconds
Not only was this a great moment in Mavs' history, it also was in Dallas sports history. Up until this point, Dallas sports teams had gone a combined 0-7 in postseason games played in Miami.
Best playoff run of the last 20 years.
Coach and fans literaly slept . An elite coach wouldnt let this happen.
GOAT default play, drain 16sec, 4secs some dribbles and release a brick contested no brain no play shot. Thrice for last crucial minutes. Proud to witness this goat
That Heat player that hit the last three was clutch 💯
Mario chalmers is underrated
LeBum's GOAT case was ended.
I miss these games
Watching Dirk puts a smile on my face
One of the most satisfying runs in sports history.
Such an exciting season for my Mavs. Loved this collection of guys.
One of the years when everyone was rooting for the same team in the finals
This Dallas team was so deep!
Facts. Can't be overlooked. That's why they won imo, they relied on the whole team.
I miss Dirk Nowitzki! 🏀 ❤
Dallas made Lebron an average player during this finals which was mindblowing
It was Kidd and Marion. I think LeBron was a little more timid knowing JKidd was lurking out there on defense. It looked like LeBron was trying to play more like Kidd in this series, which played right into Dallas' hands. It's no fluke that Kidd had a winning record against LeBron in his career.
This is the difference between Dirk and Princess James. When the going gets tough, he sticks around, gets better, and leads his team to victory over insurmountable odds, rather than running away like a coward to form a super team whenever he loses.
You need to move on my guy 😂 I'm not a fan of Lebron either but he's living in your head rent free.
and that’s why dirk only got 1 ring to lebrons 4. never understood why lebron gets hate for leaving cleveland as no one wants to go to cleveland to play. he wasn’t gonna win a ring there. rent free
0:52 "Terry the drive, Jerry the pull up" 🤣
Crazy to think this ring is more impressive than lebrons, KDs and curry’s ring all combined. Greatest finals run of all time, this or the Houston run in 94
The worst superstar meltdown in sports history by LeBalco James!!!!
This series was such a huge impact on super teams in the years to come that they’re beatable.
Dirk is a top 10 all time for this run.
I remember watching that left handed lay up live that was the definition of clutch to me then and still is now. However its crucial also to point out that Dirk made 45 out of 46 free throws in this series you can look that stat up.
The time lebron cried 😂😂😂
Super team vs the mavs
Ι miss this kind of basketball so much
