I couldn't help but get a little choked up seeing all those vets get rings. The five Mavs on the floor in the final minutes were Dirk, Kidd, Chandler, Terry, and Marion. Plus Peja on the bench. Six guys who came so close so often finally reaching the basketball promised land. It doesn't get any better than that.
Haven’t they realized that recent champs are determined by greater system instead of roster, and 3pts... this mavs is always a threat even they got a deficit of 15 because they guys who can shoot 3s, spurs shoot 3s, gsw shoot 3s, kyrie and co shoot 3s.
Donald Makalintal wouldnt say prime cause they all had different primes but definitely younger and more athletic and i think thats the point you were tryna get across

Golden State Warriors 2015 Champions your team blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals with an "unanimous" overrated mvp with the best regular season record of all time
Dirk was one of the few superstars that stayed with his former team, went several years without a ring, remained patient and finally won one against a heavily favored opponent in this Miami Heat team, the same franchise that denied him in 2006. That's what made this series win such a great story. Dirk stayed loyal to his team and it paid off.
Tavon ThaTruth . Loyalty doesn’t pay off anymore in the NBA. Teams aren’t loyal, so players aren’t loyal. Dirk’s story may make us feel good, and yes his loyalty is admirable, but that loyalty is no longer a viable option.
LeBron James a team hopper too. Calls every superstar to join him smh 🤦🏽♂️ he’s gotten bailed out so many times and has always been in the leastern conference, first year in the west and doesn’t make it to the playoffs “playoff mode” he said lol
One of the happiest nights of my life. It's really disappointing that from the time the buzzer sounded they immediately talked about it being a loss for the Heat and all their incompetence in the series rather than talking about all the Mavs, Dirk, and what every other veteran on the roster had been through up until that point in their careers. How they shocked everyone throughout that whole playoff run starting with SWEEPING the Lakers, who were still an elite squad at that point. Whatever, it was still one of the happiest memories of my short life. Go Mavs
luis alcala They didn't have a plan for lauding the Mavs because everyone at the ESPN machine expected Lebron to win. Felt SO good to see Dirk, Kidd, Terry Tyson and everyone else shove crow down so many people's throats. MFFL
luis alcala "it was still one of the happiest memories of my short life"... Dude wtf are you saying? .....But I do agree with everything else you said! :)
Mega M I just wanted to get across that I'm a young person, so saying a memory is one of the best I've had thus far probably doesn't mean much to people since a lot of my best experiences have yet to come
+luis alcala JJ Barea was the feel good story of the yr. to me in sports for 2011, and I'm a Heat fan. W/ that said, both the Lakers & Heat still chocked against the Mavs that postseason, but I still enjoyed watching this tiny little vixen in Barea embarrass my teams for just 1-single postseason.
The series and win that severed forever any comparisons between MJ and LeBron. MJ never choked this hard and lost while being favored, to a role player like Jason Terry.
sunnyboy8644 Yea you can’t be the best with a choke job like that, he #2 but definitely not the goat, gotta be held to a different standard if you want to be the best who ever did it, no excuses.
In a way, Dallas did Lebron a favor. People actually felt sorry for him after this, he performed so poorly. When they came back and won it, it seemed like redemption.
I remember being mad at Dallas for sweeping the hell out of my Lakers but I was glad to see them beat Miami & get J Kidd, Peja and Dirk their rings. Dirk was lighting Chris Bosh's ass up all series long and damn that was beautiful to watch.
I was young back then and when I realized the Lakers were eliminated from the Playoffs, I went to my room and cried. I didn't even care who won in that year's Finals. I didn't even realize that they actually swept by the Mavs. How embarrassing that was. Confidence was backed up when Howard and Nash joined the team but all was left was bitter disappointment. BARELY made the Playoffs due to D'Antoni's terrible coaching and Kobe forcing Dwight to learn which led him to sign with Houston. What the hell happened?
DH K a guy who looks to be a proud Minnesota Vikings fan calling another team that’s actually won a championship ‘losers’ is fucking laughable. You’re a joke 😂
Dallas beat the Los Angeles Lakers that were the 2X Defending NBA Champions with the 2008 NBA MVP & we're in the last 3 NBA final games, & they beat a good Miami Squad with a NBA MvP Lebron James. Dallas was the best team that season.
Makaveli The Don the beginning of the basketball we see today , more emphasis on the three and spacing. Guys like Joel Anthony on the heat couldn't play in this series and heat had too much liabilities on the court.
jacob portillo those teams where what? Stacked up with superstars? This 2011 swept the 2x defending champs and defeated the up and coming okc team that features durant, westbrick and harden. Golden girl warriors only faced some scrub ass team.
Funny , people say GSW fans are bandwagons , but the Heat and Cavaliers have the worst fans . People are only fans of the Cavs and Heat when they are winners . Fans are nowhere to be found when those teams lose .
we are the worst? lmao go watch game 6 2006 when we beat yall in your own house the same way, yall were on your way to the exits as well soo gtfo here with that😂
+crispy lmao yall were stacked when we beat yall we were still the underdogs in the matchup even with wade Shaq & mourning, they gave yall this because this the ONLY ring yall ever have lmao mean while we got 3 & been around as long as yall have, gtfo & catch up😂😂😂
***** LOL you dont know shit! Who did the Mavs have besides a young Dirk? Jason Terry aint even a super star. You def salty as hell. Why do you say "we" as if you're part of the team wtff 😂
To me, James' performance in this series was so awful that he should have been excluded from the GOAT debate right away. Jordan and Kobe never would have crumbled under pressure like this. Wade really saved James from even heavier reputation damage.
This was the greatest playoff run ever. From looking like they were bout to go home in the first round against a very good Portland team with brandon roy....to sweeping the defending champion lakers....then dismantling a young but very very fast paced athletic thunder team....then beating a very tough miami heat team
***** Of course players don't "win on their own" Lebron still needed 4 superstars to win 4 rings. And hes a very sore loser don't leave after one bad year LeBron its a TEAM game stay and build up some chemistry
has anybody had such a hot shooting series like dirk? its like he could never miss a shot. The only person I know that can shoot like this is Kevin Durant
Watching this series in 2024 as Mavs are back in the finals after 13 long years. I hope the storyline remains the same and Mavs win it now against a heavily favored Celtics team. In LuKai we trust ❤
Patrick Sarmiento He didn't have a bad game, he just didn't do much throughout the series. It's not like he goes "missing" often. He'll give up from time to time, like in 2010 against Boston and in 2014 against the Spurs, but he more or less decides to stop trying. Like Mark Jackson said, in reference to great players, "Just like death and taxes, they're gonna get you." LeBron played poorly in 2011 but dominated in 2012 and 2013. He played well both this year and last year in the finals despite his team getting rooked.
Arsen Akopyan Who cares? LeBron James won't ever be as good as Jordan. If you compare everyone to Jordan, then everybody sucks. Magic and Kobe have both had bad finals'. LeBron isn't like Jordan, so you shouldn't compare them. LeBron is like Magic and Bird, a great passer, rebounder but he plays much better defense then either of them and he is a better scorer then either of them.
Collin Workman Better scorer than both of them? I'll give you Magic, but not Bird. Neither Magic nor Kobe had a Finals nearly as bad as Lebron James' 2011. I don't count Magic's 89 Finals against the Pistons, cause he ruptured his hamstring in Game 2 & was done. Lebron was healthy and at his peak physical prime in 2011 against the Mavericks when he didn't just fail to score, but didn't show up in any capacity. When Kobe had the 6-24 Game 7 against the Celtics, he still found other ways to help his team by getting 15 rebounds. Someone w/ the overall size of a Karl Malone w/ the athletic explosiveness of a defensive back in football should at least be able to average better than his regular season stat of 8rpg (rebounds per game) when not scoring but playing w/ a 6'9 center in Joel Anthony who had to go up against 7'1 Tyson Chandler. At least help your undersized frontline on the boards by averaging double figure rebounds per game, but Lebron averaged just 7 in that series where his team was getting killed on the glass. I don't blame him for his other 3 Finals losses, but I can't think of any great player that ever had a Finals series as bad as Lebron's 2011 while healthy & in their prime. He brought the Michael Jordan comparison on himself by choosing to wear #23 coming out of college, calling himself the chosen one, proclaiming himself the King & so on.
LeBron fell apart, yes. It's a huge black mark on his legacy. Also, yes he's a better scorer than Bird. Bird was a better shooter. Just look at their numbers. LeBron averages more assists and points. LeBron thrives in a team game with dominant all around play, Kobe and Jordan dominated one on one. I don't really compare LeBron's style of play to theirs.
Mavs fan here much respect to our cousin da spurs it just goes to show miami cant mess with texas! Good job spurs look forward to playing yall this upcoming 2015 season!
2007 cavs had 0 chance against those Spurs. It was miraculous they even got there (25 straight pts by lbj against pistons). 2011 only time he choked, in 2014 he was the best player on both teams, same with 2015 (and 2016)
Yeah 07 he was a kid no way a 22 year old michael jordan can even beat that spurs team. 11 dirk was looking for blood and that 2014 that spurs team was nuts. 2015 was also unwinnable he was playing with a bench squad kyrie and love were both out and they almost won.
LeBron was Just a Kid in 07 Dirk Wanted it More in 11 Lebron's Team was Shit in 14 and didn't show up. They got destroyed. In 2015 Kyrie and KLove Were Injured.
All of y'all are idiots. 2007 LeBron averaged 22PPG on 36% and every game was still decided by 9 points or less. Most notably game 4 when the Cavs lost by 1 and LeBron went 2-6 at the line. "MJ wouldn't have beat them" bro even Kobe would've beat them. We all know about 2011 2014 he got locked down by then role player Kawhi Leonard. 51 of the 81 points LeBron scored during games 3-5 came when his team was down 15+.
+houston34 This is a bigger choke job than what even Karl Malone or Chris Webber ever did. At least Chris Webber had played a great game against North Carolina before the timeout at the end, and Karl Malone did have his moments in the Finals both times they did lose it w/ the efficient 37pt game in 97 Game 3 & the 39-pt spoiler against Dennis Rodman @ Chicago in Game 5 the next yr. Lebron James didn't even show up in this series.
9:54 Even as the Heat have their 2nd best season in franchise history (at that point in history), their fans are heading for the exits instead of staying till the end and thanking the team for a great season. Fairweather to the end.
I would say this game in NBA finals history is one of the top 5 Upsets in NBA finals history. Not number one though I would give his number 2 all time. Nothing will top the 2004 NBA Finals upset where the Pistons knocked off the Lakers 4-1. The top 5 NBA finals upsets 5. 1985 NBA Finals Lakers beat the Celtics 4-2 4. 1995 NBA FInals Rockets sweep the Magic 3. 1975 NBA Finals Warriors sweep the Bullets 4-0 2. 2011 NBA finals Mavericks shock the Heat 4-2 1. 2004 NBA Finals Pistons surprise the Lakers 4-1 Anyone else think of any great NBA finals upsets let me know
I dont know about the 2006 being an upset because then again the Heat had Shaq and Wade and more talent than the Mavs had. in 2011 the Heat had Bosh LeBron Wade and Haslem and Cole and Chalmers and the Mavs only had Dirk Kidd and Terry and Marion. The MAvericks were an aging group while the Heat was a younger talent of all stars you have to remember.
Dante Scott Suguitan The Heat weren't favored at all to win. Every expert had Dallas winning and after Game 2 Dallas was planning their parade route. The Heat also didn't gave homecourt and Dallas had 60+ Wins and beat the defending champs. I think people value talent more than they do solid role players. Dallas was deeper than Miami at the Point, back up SG, SF, PF. They were all around deeper than Miami. Cole wasn't on Miami in 2011. I hate Lebron for his pathetic choke in this Finals.
I don't think the significance of that Mahinmi shot can be overstated. That planted a seed of doubt in the Heat that carried over into the forth quarter.
Dirk's 2011 Playoff run>>lebron 8 finals Really think about it. Dirk had jason terry and some washed up old vets. He went through Roy and Aldridge, Kobe & Gasol's 2 time defending champs Lakers, 3 future MVPs KD Westbrook Harden, then the most notorious big 3 of all time. What are the best teams lebron beat in the east? Raptors led by demar derozan (😂😂😂), Pacers led by ROY HIBBERT and Playoff P, Al horford's Hawks, Celtics led by 5'5 Isiah thomas. These were all 1 seeds in the eastern conference AND made the conference finals, showing how trash the east was This is why Dirk>>LeHelp forever
Lmfao how you gonna mention peja and not Stevenson? Might as well mention cardinal and mahinmi since they played more mins in the finals than peja lol I forgot he was even on the team
+Rico Jet lol he had one good game where we blew them out and scored 20 threes as a team..he's lucky the mavs picked him up mid season and got him that ring
I couldn't help but get a little choked up seeing all those vets get rings. The five Mavs on the floor in the final minutes were Dirk, Kidd, Chandler, Terry, and Marion. Plus Peja on the bench. Six guys who came so close so often finally reaching the basketball promised land. It doesn't get any better than that.
A.J. Rose ,
yea I was happy for them

caron butler also on the bench

That's team work.
Haven’t they realized that recent champs are determined by greater system instead of roster, and 3pts... this mavs is always a threat even they got a deficit of 15 because they guys who can shoot 3s, spurs shoot 3s, gsw shoot 3s, kyrie and co shoot 3s.

Now tell me straight in the face that you need 4 all star players to win a ring. Lmao
RIP Stuart Scott
LeBron is the biggest complainer and cry baby in the history of the NBA
yeah he is
Andrew Thrasher no he isn't
He really isn't
Bron should play with a handkerchief on his side cause he's always complaining like a cry baby wua wua wua
awe look at the bronsexuals defending their daddy...😆
So this is why the next nba finals was rigged, they couldn't win hahahaha, poor durant and Westbrook though....
Just imagine if Nash was on this team
if he stayed in mavs, he would have probalby win with them.
+commanderPanda *won
+commanderPanda "probably"
they definitely wouldve won atleast 1 more
num1roxfan what
Biggest choke by a superstar ever, LeBron
Happiest day of my life lol
same
Amen. Will never forget it
My favorite NBA Finals to this day
Why? You a Mavs fan?
+Rememba Kemba nah man, I'm a Celtics fan. I just like watching LBJ taking on Dirk. Was so entertaining to watch.
BIG EVIL34 2013, 2010, and 2016 are ties for May favourites right now
this was the best year of my life
knowatimean lmaooooooo why man
Darrell Yancey me too
Darrell Yancey Same........ I’m a D-Rose fan
Mine too #MFFL
Then there is no excuses cavs can't beat superteam warrior when dallas beat superteam lebron
Who's watching this after Dirk retirement?
Lebron needs 4 superstars to win 6 NBA titles.
he also needed ray allen to teach him how to shoot
***** Of course players don't "win on their own" Lebron still needed 4 superstars to win 4 rings. And hes a very sore loser don't leave after one bad year LeBron its a TEAM game stay and build up some chemistry
*2 NBA titles
Bosh couldn't stop dirk
He had NO HELP!!! OH MY GOD HE HAD NO HELP!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahaha
13:31 this is what i like about Nowitzki, he carried the team to championship yet stayed humble... #legend
has anybody had such a hot shooting series like dirk? its like he could never miss a shot. The only person I know that can shoot like this is Kevin Durant
LeBron the GOAT? Letting Dirk go off like that?
the most embarrassing finals of lebron..
Watching this series in 2024 as Mavs are back in the finals after 13 long years. I hope the storyline remains the same and Mavs win it now against a heavily favored Celtics team.
In LuKai we trust ❤
Another Lebron MIA moments. Not Miami but Missing in Action! :D
Patrick Sarmiento He didn't have a bad game, he just didn't do much throughout the series. It's not like he goes "missing" often. He'll give up from time to time, like in 2010 against Boston and in 2014 against the Spurs, but he more or less decides to stop trying. Like Mark Jackson said, in reference to great players, "Just like death and taxes, they're gonna get you." LeBron played poorly in 2011 but dominated in 2012 and 2013. He played well both this year and last year in the finals despite his team getting rooked.
+Collin Workman Michael Jordan never had a finals series anywhere near as bad as Lebron James' 2011.
Arsen Akopyan Who cares? LeBron James won't ever be as good as Jordan. If you compare everyone to Jordan, then everybody sucks. Magic and Kobe have both had bad finals'. LeBron isn't like Jordan, so you shouldn't compare them. LeBron is like Magic and Bird, a great passer, rebounder but he plays much better defense then either of them and he is a better scorer then either of them.
Collin Workman Better scorer than both of them? I'll give you Magic, but not Bird. Neither Magic nor Kobe had a Finals nearly as bad as Lebron James' 2011. I don't count Magic's 89 Finals against the Pistons, cause he ruptured his hamstring in Game 2 & was done. Lebron was healthy and at his peak physical prime in 2011 against the Mavericks when he didn't just fail to score, but didn't show up in any capacity.
When Kobe had the 6-24 Game 7 against the Celtics, he still found other ways to help his team by getting 15 rebounds. Someone w/ the overall size of a Karl Malone w/ the athletic explosiveness of a defensive back in football should at least be able to average better than his regular season stat of 8rpg (rebounds per game) when not scoring but playing w/ a 6'9 center in Joel Anthony who had to go up against 7'1 Tyson Chandler. At least help your undersized frontline on the boards by averaging double figure rebounds per game, but Lebron averaged just 7 in that series where his team was getting killed on the glass. I don't blame him for his other 3 Finals losses, but I can't think of any great player that ever had a Finals series as bad as Lebron's 2011 while healthy & in their prime.
He brought the Michael Jordan comparison on himself by choosing to wear #23 coming out of college, calling himself the chosen one, proclaiming himself the King & so on.
LeBron fell apart, yes. It's a huge black mark on his legacy. Also, yes he's a better scorer than Bird. Bird was a better shooter. Just look at their numbers. LeBron averages more assists and points. LeBron thrives in a team game with dominant all around play, Kobe and Jordan dominated one on one. I don't really compare LeBron's style of play to theirs.
This Mavericks team was stack and was good af when they knock out my Lakers I was shock on how quick they had got it together
The most disrespected championship team to have won it
Man I know I can't be the only one who thinks the NBA finals should be on TNT
Totally agree.
+Devin Hall true
+Devin Hall true
Amandeep Sharma We need more shaqtin a fool
yea but it needs to be free for everyone to watch
This makes me want to cry tears of joy
Mavs fan here much respect to our cousin da spurs it just goes to show miami cant mess with texas! Good job spurs look forward to playing yall this upcoming 2015 season!
@LayZeem this didn't age well...
R.I.P. Stuart Scott
Don't tell me Bird's Celtics wouldn't have been a problem in the LeBron era. This series was proof.
The interesting thing was Nowitziki left the court during the game 4 seconds left lol
Someone 2018?
As a Dallas fan this is the only championship I witnessed and the only one Dallas has with good graphics
Now we gonna win it with Luka!
Who's watching this after Dirk's retirement 😭👍
anyone here 2024
Dont understand how people say LeBron is the goat when he's been exposed in the finals 3 times. (2007,2011,2014)
2007 cavs had 0 chance against those Spurs. It was miraculous they even got there (25 straight pts by lbj against pistons). 2011 only time he choked, in 2014 he was the best player on both teams, same with 2015 (and 2016)
2011 is the finals were there was no legitimate excuse, 2006 was unwinnable with that Cavs Squad, 2014 Kyrie and Love were injured.
Yeah 07 he was a kid no way a 22 year old michael jordan can even beat that spurs team. 11 dirk was looking for blood and that 2014 that spurs team was nuts. 2015 was also unwinnable he was playing with a bench squad kyrie and love were both out and they almost won.
LeBron was Just a Kid in 07
Dirk Wanted it More in 11
Lebron's Team was Shit in 14 and didn't show up. They got destroyed.
In 2015 Kyrie and KLove Were Injured.
All of y'all are idiots. 2007 LeBron averaged 22PPG on 36% and every game was still decided by 9 points or less. Most notably game 4 when the Cavs lost by 1 and LeBron went 2-6 at the line. "MJ wouldn't have beat them" bro even Kobe would've beat them.
We all know about 2011
2014 he got locked down by then role player Kawhi Leonard. 51 of the 81 points LeBron scored during games 3-5 came when his team was down 15+.
lechoke at his best
+houston34 This is a bigger choke job than what even Karl Malone or Chris Webber ever did. At least Chris Webber had played a great game against North Carolina before the timeout at the end, and Karl Malone did have his moments in the Finals both times they did lose it w/ the efficient 37pt game in 97 Game 3 & the 39-pt spoiler against Dennis Rodman @ Chicago in Game 5 the next yr. Lebron James didn't even show up in this series.
Dallas bought this championship fr
7 life Is that a fact?
Arsen Akopyan you can tell by lebron play, that was a giveaway. If you don't believe some of this stuff is rig you're still sleep.
7 life 2006 Finals & 2002 WCF Game 6.
9:54 Even as the Heat have their 2nd best season in franchise history (at that point in history), their fans are heading for the exits instead of staying till the end and thanking the team for a great season. Fairweather to the end.
gorrow1990 Yeah, Heat fans are terrible.
gorrow1990 It's no secret their fan base is a huge joke.
Raptors win in 6 like Mavericks?
8 years later, almost the same thing is going to happen. 1st title for the franchise (Raptors) and also against a superteam/dyansty...
@@kazutrashsato8883 yes
Don't forget the fact that it was Kawhi Leonard's second time to take down a super team.
Your so called "GOAT" can't even guard the old jason terry. Hahahaha. Only media made him GOAT. fake GOAT
More rings than the entire Heat franchise
@@YvngGoat_6 loss with 4 rings that's your goat ?
Dampier: loses to Miami Heat in 06. Then loses to the Mavericks in 2011.
unfortunate...
Like Varejao
2 for 5 in NBA Finals ain't gonna get you the GOAT title.
Ah, 2011. What a great year that was! A special run for the Mavericks.
Raptors 3-1
Love rewatching this! A true TEAM. Also RIP Stu Scott ❤️
If the Mavs did this in 2011 then the Raptors can do it to Golden State warriors.
I hope so. Don't forget that the Pistons defeated the super team Lakers in the 2004 NBA Finals.
I would say this game in NBA finals history is one of the top 5 Upsets in NBA finals history. Not number one though I would give his number 2 all time. Nothing will top the 2004 NBA Finals upset where the Pistons knocked off the Lakers 4-1.
The top 5 NBA finals upsets
5. 1985 NBA Finals
Lakers beat the Celtics 4-2
4. 1995 NBA FInals
Rockets sweep the Magic
3. 1975 NBA Finals
Warriors sweep the Bullets 4-0
2. 2011 NBA finals
Mavericks shock the Heat 4-2
1. 2004 NBA Finals
Pistons surprise the Lakers 4-1
Anyone else think of any great NBA finals upsets let me know
Dante Scott Suguitan nba 2014 playoffs. spurs beat miami 4-1
paul singh but Mr Singh the Spurs were favorites last year so thats not a true upset
2006 Finals
Heat beat Dallas 4-2
I dont know about the 2006 being an upset because then again the Heat had Shaq and Wade and more talent than the Mavs had. in 2011 the Heat had Bosh LeBron Wade and Haslem and Cole and Chalmers and the Mavs only had Dirk Kidd and Terry and Marion. The MAvericks were an aging group while the Heat was a younger talent of all stars you have to remember.
Dante Scott Suguitan The Heat weren't favored at all to win. Every expert had Dallas winning and after Game 2 Dallas was planning their parade route. The Heat also didn't gave homecourt and Dallas had 60+ Wins and beat the defending champs.
I think people value talent more than they do solid role players. Dallas was deeper than Miami at the Point, back up SG, SF, PF. They were all around deeper than Miami.
Cole wasn't on Miami in 2011.
I hate Lebron for his pathetic choke in this Finals.
James failed to deliver in this game yet they say he is greater than MJ , Jordan never lost a finals!
James lost many times in finals - I guess the same amount as MJ has won in those finals.
Wish D Rose can have a ring too..
I don't think the significance of that Mahinmi shot can be overstated. That planted a seed of doubt in the Heat that carried over into the forth quarter.
lebron gave up ...it was so different from the 4th of game 6 in 2013 ..in that series he played so weird but in games 6-7 he came alive
Most satisfying game
yea because your a lebron hater lebron the best ok
Most deserved Title in NBA history!
Jason Terry fully outplayed LeBron in this series.
Hope the dallas will get the second championship!
Give Dirk credit he won his championship 🏆 the loyal way instead of taking the easy road and joining a bunch of superstars to win a ring
Dirk's 2011 Playoff run>>lebron 8 finals
Really think about it. Dirk had jason terry and some washed up old vets. He went through Roy and Aldridge, Kobe & Gasol's 2 time defending champs Lakers, 3 future MVPs KD Westbrook Harden, then the most notorious big 3 of all time.
What are the best teams lebron beat in the east? Raptors led by demar derozan (😂😂😂), Pacers led by ROY HIBBERT and Playoff P, Al horford's Hawks, Celtics led by 5'5 Isiah thomas. These were all 1 seeds in the eastern conference AND made the conference finals, showing how trash the east was
This is why Dirk>>LeHelp forever
I fuck wit this Dallas squad n I'm glad they smash Lebron
(Dirk, J-Kidd, Terry, Barea, Chandler, Peja) if I left somebody out I apologize
Marion
Lmfao how you gonna mention peja and not Stevenson? Might as well mention cardinal and mahinmi since they played more mins in the finals than peja lol I forgot he was even on the team
+Mirel Breko Peja didn't play because of the matchup. he got to kill the lakers tho
+Rico Jet lol he had one good game where we blew them out and scored 20 threes as a team..he's lucky the mavs picked him up mid season and got him that ring
Without Peja they wouldn't reach the finals he was also a part of that team.
