Bruh, I remember Dallas was the laughing stock of the league in the early 90's. They won 9 games in 1993. Even the arrival Mashburn, Kidd and Jim Jackson in the mid 90's couldn't make them a consistent winning team (also had guys like Popeye Jones, Gary Trent Sr. I believe and George McCloud who was a super high volume 3PT shooter a bit ahead of his time). It was the Dirk, Nash, Finley trio (along with Juwan Howard and Shawn Bradley, and a year or 2 later Raef Lafrentz, one of the early stretch 4/5 guys) that finally made this team a contender. This was the series that put them on the map and they became a contender for the rest of the 2000's, all the way up until they won a title in 2011. This series was like a changing of the guard of sorts between Stockton/Malone and Nash/Nowitzki. Dirk was my favorite player around this time and I remember bugging my uncle (who lived in Arlington Texas) to get me a Dirk jersey (for whatever reason he didn't like Dirk). I can remember the next season when they got the new uniforms and everything. He got me the dark road Dirk jersey. Good times.
U cant be great when u ride 2 superstars from day 1 Finley and Nash. He is incredible player but lux to play near them is like having 70% wide open shoot what Garnett or Malone never had. Finley was MJ , Nash was Stockton without defense.

Very hard to believe. But when you factor that John literally played with Karl Malone. Yeah it makes sense why lol. I’m sure the opposite hold true for Malone. What’s his career high in assist? Lol😂
The first home playoff game for the Mavs since Game 3 of the 1990 Western Conference First Round. Their first home playoff win since Game 6 of the 1988 Western Conference Finals.
Deym nowitzki moves is so smooth he moves like sg he is so fast for his position. Malone is also in good condition even though he's old age he still can compete with young guns like nowitzki stockton iq is far more than pg nowadays pure fundamental and his passing skills is unbelievable Nash is also a good passer with good chemistry with nowitzki both unbelievable duo
He definitely wasn’t a top 3 PF in 98-99😂 not 99-2000… 2001 highly questionable he was top 3. Webber Garnett n Duncan we’re top 3 from. 2000-2003. Dirk wasn’t better than Malone in 2000 and in 2001 it was questionable who was better. He wasn’t even close to top 10 his rookie year
Dirk has at least 3 rings with Nash there. They definitely beat Miami in 06 with Steve, and they would have beaten Golden State, San An, and Cleveland in 07. Then of course the championship in 2011.
Maybe. Which I would love for Nash to have a championship. But we never would have gotten MVP Nash, those awesome Suns teams, or the great Mavs-Suns rivalries.
You can tell what the difference between old school players and modern players here. Stockton gets knocks down on the floor several times and got up real quick. The modern players stumbles on the floor and will never get up or wait for their teammates to help them up.
That team was old af. Stockton 38, Malone 37, Polynice 36, John Starks 35, Danny Manning (after so many injuries) 34 and bunch of craps like Orstateg and John Crotty. Still only Malone made all star and they still made playoffs.

No. There was way more iso and post play back then. Now is the era where there are 10 guys on the court that can dribble, pass, and shoot and do so very frequently
