      agreed Dirk is the most underrated superstar ever. This man won a title with no all stars on his team which was only done my the Dream before him. Plus he raped a Super Team with 3 All Stars in their prime and Bosh, Wade and James were all super stars on their previous teams. Nobody will ever achieve anything like that.

Many examples of underdogs facing monsters and you didn't see a 14 pts margin of victory. And the funny thing is... LeBron broke his own record the last finals, Golden State won by 15 pts every game.

    This should erase all doubt about Dirk's greatness. He took a team of players about as talented as JJ Barea to the finals against the super team, and won.

    the absolute pinnacle of the human profession.
    excel at what you do and beat EVERYBODY else and earn your place at the top.
    deep down it's what we all crave and believe we are at our own jobs no matter what they may be.
    my own 2011 moment happened in 2014 at my job when I reached the level I wanted to be at, and the high I obtained from reaching that level still lingers to this day.
    Dirk absolutely caught FIRE and could NOT be stopped that year.

    nothing was gonna stop DIRK redeeming himself after 06, he had one of his amazing years in Dallas in 2011 and that team was so underrated, everyone counted them out but man they proved them wrong, sweeping the 2 time Champion Lakers, that was huge
