Almost a decade later and I still can't believe the champs were swept. I remember the comments of their three-point barrage in this series as a "lucky series"... no one knew back then that it was the future of NBA basketball.
yep once kobe missed that wide open game winner in game 1 in 2011 vs dallas...the doubt creeped in and the mavs gained confidence...they didnt play well at all in game 1....and they still got a 1-0 lead...i remember they were down 19 in that game and came back....i thought after the game mavs won but they could have played a whole lot better and i thought the lakers dominated that game and they still lost.....kobrick could have ended the mavs and put la in the finals if he hit that 1 shot...but he didnt...he bricked it and the mavs just played better and better each game....lakers played worse...this game they didnt even want to be out there....thats how you end a dynasty...you blow them out when you have a chance ...same thing in 2003 with horrys miss..in game 6 the spurs just wouldnt let la hang around like they did vs the kings in 2002..no game 7 vs the refs..end it in la.......and if lebron didnt cramp up in game 1 in 2014 miami goes home for game 3 and 4 up 2-0...series over......the heat were leading until he left and then in the 4th the spurs went off...hitting 3's and making everything...they didnt let it come down to 2 plays....they took the game when they had it to make sure they went to miami 1-1.......if they had to win 2 in miami down 2-0 no way they win that series....sometimes when luck happens you have to take advantage of it cause if you play around your gonna lose...aka the suns in 93 and the jazz in 98...that 3rd title team is always the weakest
Asmosis Jones even if Dallas lost game 1 against the Lakers, they would have still won the series. They were just a better team and Dirk was way more clutch than Kobe at this time.
+Gravitate This was the only time in the Kobe/Dirk era when they met in the playoffs. How was there a rivalry? Lol. The only two memorable regular season matchups were when the Lakers came back by 30 in the 4th and when Kobe outscored the Mavs 62-61.
When I'd watch them play in the regular season, there were a lot of fights... Even back when we had Nash. It may not have always been playoffs and regular season games, but just a strong dislike for each other from what I've watched.
Rivalry? Rivalry? Lmfao boiiiiiiii. Ain’t no rivalry here. Lakers dgaf about the Mavs. We worried about the Celtics and Bulls. Teams that actually have more than 1 championship. Hahaha rivalry lol
2011 Mavs is my favorite team in nba history. The chemistry and grit this team had is unparalleled. Every one on the team contributed. Barea, Peja, Stevenson and even Cardinal. This is aside from the starting 5 + Terry. Just a magnificent team that meshed so well together.
I like how instead of trying to fight Bynum and get players ejected after his dirty shot to Barea, the Mavs just proceeded to beat the brakes off the Lakers for the full 48 minutes. Never let off the gas and never showed mercy and I think it was because of that foul. That 2011 team is SO underrated among the NBA championship teams
The problem with the BENCH of the mavs that season was........ Their bench players used to be in a starting line up.. Peja with kings, terry with hawks, haywood with wizards, and if butler didnt get hurt who knows maybe shawn coming off the bench too, he was a starter in phoenix. The mavs are too strong that year. Really bred for championship.
let's not forget terry was also the starting SG in dallas for awhile until they made him the 6th man starting alot of people over him. Caron butler was play SG that season until he got hurt I think so they made DeShawn Stevenson start
+Mario Vasquez yeah terry actually played the point for a bit under the Nelson/Johnson era. Then Carlisle came along and made him a perennial 6th man of the year candidate
Chris Kreager so this team can beat warriors at full strength 72 wins in the playoffs? I also think that the kings with bibby would also have a good shot👍🔥🔥🔥
@@belfastbelchan4039 didn't think that'll will work...zone defense only effective if the opponent not a great 3 point shooting team...that's why it worked againts the lakers and the heat...
Here's a more bizarre fact: Dirk only made an average of 1.1 three a game in this playoffs where he became a champion. YES HE ONLY MADE AROUND JUST ONE THREE-POINT BASKET PER GAME. Amazing and mind-boggling at the same time.
This was my favorite game of the 2011 mavericks championship run thru the playoffs. As a Mavs fan from day one my team has been a doormat for the lakers so that made this game and the four game sweep so sweet. It was a long time coming.
I come back to this video from time to time over the years. I remember that season well. I remember telling my friend Jay, may he rest in peace, before the season started that Dallas had assembled the best collection of three-point shooters in the history of the game (at that time) and with the addition of Tyson Chandler that the Mavs was going to win the championship. I wasn't speaking with hyperbole, I was supremely confident in their playing ability and Rick Carlisle's coaching ability.
When the fire is this hot, there is nothing you can do but let it burn. The only thing that would have made this more torturous for Lakers fans is if this game happened at Staples Center.
This game was for all the years the Lakers beat on Dallas and considered the Mavs a joke. Beat the Lakers to a Franchise Lottery Team :) . It's 2017 and they still SUCK LOL
Will Donaldson You Happy y'all beat us for one series no one takes y'all serious y'all had a good run should've lost if lbj ain't choke but man y'all ass we in the playoffs again y'all got 10 yrs to go lol one series and the fans get happy
its crazy how since 2011 ended after 3 titles and 4 west titles in a row 5 out of 6, both la and dallas combined have 1 playoff series win...and non since 2012 ended...that season ended both teams reigns...looks like the mavs have the better overall future with doncic and porzingaz
Im a mavericks fan but Whyyyy didnt phil jackson make any adjustments?? I seriously think he wanted out of LA before this game even started. The mavericks Toyed with them the entire game it looked like a game of NBA 2k on starter mode
What adjustments could have Jackson made when a team is shooting like that? The problem for the Lakers during that series was the disappearance of Pau Gasol. He utter garbage. I am sure the only thing Jackson could have done is to find the fountain of Youth and give it to Pau.
kobe fish blake odom barnes artest all looked old too...and with all the 3s going in and lack of lakers 3's or transition offense meant Bynum was pretty useless too...@@sam2273923
I get goosebumps when I see this. I remember watching it live like it was yesterday.😥it really is crazy how the mavs had a bunch of non superstars besides dirk and they beat LeBron and Kobe two of the greatest. As a mavs fan that's good enuf for me I can die in peace now 👼
Mavericks are the only team to sweep the Lakers in the playoffs, sweep the Celtics in the regular season, and shut down the Heat in Finals...amazing, just amazing.
i remember this. so tough to watch as a Laker Fan. down in the series 0-3 and we're still in the game. then the Mavs go on a tear and then we get swept.. oh well. i'm just glad they won the NBA championship instead of the Heat
bigger beatdown nightmare for kobe and fish...2003 vs spurs game 6 on their home floor 2004 game 5 Detroit or 2011 game 4 in dallas..answer: 2008 game 6 in boston...
Even if I wasn't a Mavs/Dirk fan (far more Dirk than Mavs lol), this 3 point shooting performance was beyond epic for the following reasons... #1... It came against a supposedly FAR superior back to back champion Laker team! #2... It came in a possible elimination game! #3... It came against the same player who lit up the Mavs in a regular season game for 81 points! #4... It came against the best coach this game has ever seen!... who happened to be retiring afterward! WOW!
Mavs fans are as loyal as any in the league, we don't have a monster bandwagon like Hollywood's got every season. Also the very next year we lost Tyson Chandler to the Knicks and JJ Barea to the Timberwolves both of whom we wouldn't have the title without. Also, Bynum and Lamar showed a lot of class in this game trying to take out our players; just a fantastic way to show sportsmanship! By the way the Mavs series against OKC was a lot closer than this one was, by a longshot. Signed, a Mavs fan.
this was amazing, the reason this team one the championship that year is because the played like a team. they were all about making the extra pass, which made all these open shots. i am a huge lebron fan and theres no denying the heat's talent but you need to meld the players together for it to work
3 things: 1. It’s refreshing to watch a team shoot threes at a high percentage and still shoot a lot. 2. This reminded me how lazy Fisher was on defense. 3. I love that the plumber breaks the record haha
Definitely one of the joys of the 2011 Playoffs,watching the Lakers get swept by a barrage of 3-pointers from everyone that was relevant over the last decade. Peja, JET, and Dirk!
I almost enjoyed this game more than the finals win. LA has been a roadblock for Dallas forever. Loved the way a favorite to win it all panicked in offseason and started to blow up team. TY LA for Odom and the coolest Kardashian lol.
i remember this game and how much i enjoyed watching dallas dispatch the lakers .. i remember how bynum fouled barrea out of pure frustration .. the lakers deserved that like no other team before .. peja and jt just destroyed them .. perfect sweep
Why is this in my recommended? Anyways, this just shows that this Dallas team was an all time great team. Tying an NBA playoff record (at the time) and sweeping the defending champs. Going on to beat the Heat in 6.
Well it's simple: If one team playes great and the other team plays bad, that's the result. It was shocking and amazing how fucking good the mavericks were in those series.
All of those who think the Lakers are going straight to the Finals this year should watch this video. The Lakers did 0 to address their horrendous guard, pick/roll defense. 3's can be shot all day against this team. Dwight is great as a rim defender, but he is not good at defending the pick/roll (in fact he gets a ton of fouls hedging too much) and Steve Nash is an even higher liability defensively b/c of his age. This game was not an aberration, but a sign of how bad the Lakers' perimeter D is.
We took this one from the Lakers, I have no idea what happened in that series, but afterwards I had a good feeling they were going all the way. Lakers are the better franchise hands down. They should win a championship this year after taking 4 other teams best players, or hall of famers......yeah right.
Peja got justice that year
+SancLunatic Reenge is a dish best served cold.

Almost a decade later and I still can't believe the champs were swept. I remember the comments of their three-point barrage in this series as a "lucky series"... no one knew back then that it was the future of NBA basketball.

gorrow1990 So I guess Kobe was dead in the water pretty much in this series? Past his prime?
Reefer Nanoman no Kobe was in his prime. He just got swept. Simple as that.
Asmosis Jones even if Dallas lost game 1 against the Lakers, they would have still won the series. They were just a better team and Dirk was way more clutch than Kobe at this time.
Peja is Penicillin for Lakers.. he really enjoy playing against them... Is nice to see this after 10 years... beautiful NBA days.

He had like 3 threes where he would pass it off then casually make it to the 3 point line wide open. Unbelievable
