yeah, it sucks that Dirk and Steve didn't reach their peak together, Nash was ballin in Phoenix being in his prime in his early 30's and same with Dirk.
hmmm Reggie is king of off-ball and creating his shot, maybe the argument comes in when you say Peja could be the better spot up shooter? Idk I rather have Reggie on my team than Peja regardless lol
I never said Peja was better than Miller hes not. But the as far as the conversation of shooting goes Peja is always left out by the general public/media.
Peja has always had one of the best looking jumpshots to me. Definitely underrated and doesn't get the props he deserves he'd be a MONSTER in the league today.
petros chalkitis Yeah Petrovic is on my List of greatest European players ever. Dirk, Petrovic, Kukoc, Peja, Divac, Bodiroga, Manu and Tony...I really like that there’s an abundance of great Euro players in today’s NBA - All-Star caliber players like Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Porzingis, Nikola Vucevic, Nikola Mirotic, Luka Doncic - they’re all great talent.
Great observation. Seems to go under the radar how similar both are. Just like Luka Doncic who plays exactly like Deron Williams (only a lot more consistent and efficient).
I have a soft spot for the 90s but 2003-2009 was the most amazing stretch of basketball in my opinion. After the Lakers fizzled out we had some of the most competitive and entertaining playoffs match ups in history. Such a great era.
Atmospheres were great back then in 90s early 2000s through all Nba. I am a Mavs fan but i admire this Sacramento team including Peja Divac Webber Hidayet....purple colours were great why do they have stupid colours like red blue in their arena today!...
@@tedmosbyy8477 they used to have light blue away jerseys in the late 80's - early 90's , the home jerseys were simular but white with red text/numbers probably a homage to that, they were always really popular.
My favorite rivalry of the early 2000s, from 02-04. I remember seeing a video where Mavs had a banner up in practice the following year after one of their playoff losses to the Kings. Had all the stats the Kings put up against them. Felt like Kings always had their number.
I remember watching this game I was always scared for the Mavs because Sacramento gave Dallas fits but, this game was epic and kept me on the edge of my seat the memories.🏀🏀🏀🏀💪🏾💪🏾
Man I remember those days in the NBA, this was a good rivalry. I remember at one point midseason I forget the year but Peja was a legit contender for league MVP.
@@BeefPapa Yeah, I get the defensive aspects of it. But true defense lies on preventing players to shoot the ball in the first place. This is why Barkley was regarded as one of the weakest defenders despite the no. of boards he is racking up, that is, he is no longer defending players, he's just waiting for the missed bucket and go for the rebound.
lmao I'm the biggest mavs fan ever and Dirk can't play defense for shit LOL he gets bodied easily and his go to move is to swipe the ball, if that doesn't work than he's out of moves xD
akeem Brown why tho? he played in an era where the 3 pointer wasn't nearly as celebrated, and it was his main weapon. Dude was 6'10 with one of the fastest, smoothest, highest releases in history. In his best season he only took 550 3 pointers and he averaged 24ppg... he'd take at least 800 3 pointers in today's league... you do the math
@@cimi93x I agree with all those things complimenting his game I know how great he is but it's like you guys don't understand what 30 ppg is. Some of the very best scorers in NBA history haven't hit that plateau; Larry bird, carmelo, SHAQ, Dr j, hakeem, dirk, Paul pierce, Clyde drexler, Tim duncan, etc.... have never touched that mark even guys like durant, lebron, kobe have only done in it TWICE for their entire careers. That's nothing to sneeze at, for you guys to just say "yea he'd get that easily, it would be a piece of cake for him to average that in a season" 🤦🏽♂️ that shit is pretty blasephomous, or at the very least a real stretched out hyperbole 🤦🏽♂️
akeem Brown dude, Shaq would straight up average 40 today, who the heck would guard him? Karl Anthony Towns?? lol speaking of that kat he averaged 25... he'd average 17 in Peja's day... KD can average 35 when he wants to, he just doesn't have to... same goes for Lebron, you see what he can do in the Playoffs, the greats switch to another mode when they have to. Larry Bird? Larry Bird would be a 30 ppg Draymond Green today... And i'm a fan of the modern NBA, don't think i'm an oldhead or something i just have to acknowledge how much faster today's game is, and geared towards shooters. Not to mention you get a ft for everything.
@@cimi93x your missing the point I know that durant, lebron, people like that CAN turn it up if they want to for a series or a playoffs but the ability to do that for an entire NBA season is an incredible achievement that's not easy to do and I don't think your comprehending how difficult that is through a 82 game season. If so many of the very best scorers in nba history didn't do that to just arbitrarily say yea peja could do that in his sleep is kinda ignorant.
Man I remember this series like it was yesterday this was my senior year & everyone was expecting the Kings vs Lakers rematch but Dirk & Tim Duncan had other plans & ruined it straight beasts lol
This was a heart-pounding game. I’ll never forget it. I think Nick VanExel was the real star of the game, though. He dropped something like 43 in the game.
@@shanks6404 No, you didn't watch Peja who is actually very solid defender, Peja is much better whit the ball, and have better passing ability than klay, but I can agree they are a lot similar, just i think prime Peja was better scorer bc he was able ti create own shoot almost from every situation..idk I like both, and I wattched both on their prime..
@@dd-sp9jy Klay is better. End of conversation. You cannot agree Klay is better than him because Klay is an American. Europeans think that they are the better ballers. Lmao
One of the more underrated playoff games played in NBA history. Thank goodness I made the right decision to skip my HS senior prom to watch this classic game.
That's because the playoff format was terrible back then. One year the Spurs and Mavs with the 2 best records in the NBA PERIOD met in the 2nd round. That's not fair to both teams as that should be a WCF matchup.
being a young mavs fan around these times, i absolutely hated the kings because we could NEVER get passed them. But man were those good years of basketball.
steph is so soft its not even funny. Every time steph is playing bad they are always like he isn't 100%. WTF no one is 100% in the playoffs. The cavs back up pg mucked up steph and he shot 6-24 in the nba finals. Have steph play against the spurs who broke nash nose, gave him a black eye and hip checked him every chance they had in the playoffs and watch steph crumble. Look at CP# or yourself, the first time you make it out the first round and the WCF is when the NBA made it so you cant play any defense in the league anymore.
2001-2004 was peak mavs roster. They didnt win because this was also peak dirty san antonio making sure the best player of the other team gets injured.
@@lolomo5787 name one time where the Spurs purposefully injured the best player of another team in the playoffs? You sound like a salty Mavs fan who’s just jealous that the Spurs have 5 times as many championships as the poverty Mavs. Yea Dirk got hurt in the 03 playoffs, but that was purely accidental
What’s crazy is since then, the West has remained strong. The 00’s was stacked Lakers Spurs Mavs Suns Kings and Blazers and Wolves for the first half Nuggets and Rockets and Jazz and Suns for the second half Then Lakers closed it off with two straight titles, followed by Mavs with Dirk and Spurs with Timmy for the 4th, could’ve easily been 5 if not for Ray Allen. Then the Clippers, Warriors Dynasty, OKC, Houston, Memphis, Portland Non Stop for 20 years. Lebron finally came after 16 years, finally decided to man up
I trained together with Peja back in 1998 in Thessaloniki,Greece.What a shooter!!i never forget the buzzer against Olympiakos and the day when his buddie Conrad McRae died.
How good will this team be in the modern NBA PG: Steve Nash SG: Michael Finley SF: Peja Stojakovic PF: Dirk Nowitzki C: Chris Webber All in their prime
60-24 record or even better tbh.....dirk can dominate any era in his prime.....nash relentlesss assist man.....chris webber would do just as much damage as stoudemire/nash Pick and roll game (one of the best 2 man)....All that and you got the serbian Sniper stojakovic going for 20+ a night....would be some of the best basketball I’ve seen in my opinion
They'd be 1st in offense and like 27th in defense They'd lose in the second round almost every year with the occasional conference finals appearance Not enough defense at all
1. This game was insane 2. Mateen Cleaves wearing his Michigan State warmup suit on the Sacramento bench was basically why David Stern put in the dress code
While everyone else gives Mike Dantoni all the credit for basketball today I know that only Houston runs 7sec or less offense but These two teams, their coaches especially Nelly, and player's especially Dirk and Peja are the reason basketball is what it is today.
i remember this series. With CWebb being injured, the mavs ended winning this series only to get smacked by the spurs on the next round. I believed this was the King's year to win it if only CWebb hadnt blew his knees.
karlojmg Yup! I remember that too! I was so sure it was their year. But I remember he was going up to catch a pass and then landed wrong and was ruled out of the series. Remember how the mavs lost Dirk the very next round against the spurs?
All three players went on to win NBA titles since. Dirk and Peja won theirs in 2011 with the Mavericks while Steve Nash won his as a consultant in 2017 and 2018 with the Warriors.
Kings always found a way to choke in the end and no wonder the mavs lost to an 8 seed warriors in 2007 or 08 Don Nelson was the warriors coach that year and avery Johnson was his assistant coach in dallas so Nelson knew every play the mavs had😊
This is not full highlights because the original source missed a lot of plays from Dirk, Nash & Peja. Sorry about that - GD
House can you upload game 1, 2 and 7 of this series
i guess I am kind of off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new movies online ?
@Nolan Drake I would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Dash Byron Yea, I have been using Flixzone for since march myself :D
@Dash Byron thank you, signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it !
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Michael Finley, Raja Bell, Nick Van Exel that mavs team was no joke.
Sad Dirk injured in WCF 2003
almost killed by Peja alone
yeah, it sucks that Dirk and Steve didn't reach their peak together, Nash was ballin in Phoenix being in his prime in his early 30's and same with Dirk.
Raef Lafrentz lol
someone had the nerve to say kg had the same support in minnesota smh
Seeing Dirk and Peja win in 2011 was great. Wish Nash would've gotten a ring too.
Wow they really did put together a team of dude who never won but should have and then won
Michael Padilla he got a ring with the warriors technically
Nash has two rings as consultant for the Warriors
Michael Padilla too bad Nash’s back was so bad when he was a Laker. Him and Kobe playing together would have been dynamite. 🏀
@@timothyreff6750 must have been bc of his haircut.🤣 Nash is over rated
Peja is the most underrated shooter of all-time. He's a career 17.5 PPG.
Facts!!
Hes the perfect type of player for the modern league
We all know that peja>reggie
@@Blkac-pill-Black-Life 👎wtf❓

best PF all time
Michael Padilla this wasn't near his prime level lol. Still was pretty raw here
@@markdelgado6984 you gotta be kidding me. I'll just your opinion. Kd is the best offensive player of all time. So stop pretending Dirk is much better
@@michaelscofield4098 what the hell of course it's mj
A lot of people might have Ray Allen or curry as their favorite 3 point shooter of all time,but I have peja
UnlikelyOk Yea peja cool and all but you know in your heart that's not true.
Chris j I’m serious yes the others may shoot better but he had an all around offensive game he could post and score in the inside
UnlikelyOk Ray Allen could too
Peja and Jason Kapono are the two most underrated shooters ever imo
I respect your opinion, no doubt
Peja has always had one of the best looking jumpshots to me. Definitely underrated and doesn't get the props he deserves he'd be a MONSTER in the league today.
Mavs , LA, Kingston and Spurs .... So many great series in 2000s..
3 of the best Non-American players ever.
Petrovic is missing

Yeah Petrovic is on my List of greatest European players ever.

@@consistentinconsistency3867 manu is not european. You forgot Sabonis Schrempf Marculionis Galis and of course KP6
And Giannis
petros chalkitis
I mentioned Kp6 and Giannis, and yeah I agree with the other players you named.
Glad Peja came to Dallas and got his ring with us!
Wondering why Klay Thompson’s play style looks so familiar. Here’s the answer: Peja
GSW copied King's style.
Great observation. Seems to go under the radar how similar both are. Just like Luka Doncic who plays exactly like Deron Williams (only a lot more consistent and efficient).
yea i saw thompson moves like peja, but in reality. this is where thompson copied his game.
Honestly he was more compared to rip hamilton though no Offense my opinion only
@yangyi liu this was my initial thought as well...those turn around jumpers are pure man
I have a soft spot for the 90s but 2003-2009 was the most amazing stretch of basketball in my opinion. After the Lakers fizzled out we had some of the most competitive and entertaining playoffs match ups in history. Such a great era.
Honestly 2010-13 was great too. So many legends playing all at once between 2003 & 2013.
Wasn't this the season Peja came in third in MVP voting? I can see why...
Yes sir and I think second in scoring
I think 4th or 5th in MVP Voting actually

Damn this series made me fell in love with basketball.
Peja has a unique jumper. Hes definitely a legit legend

Without Webber, the Kings still took the Mavs to Game 7
Mavs took spurs to 6 without dirk. Maybe if kings were healthy they would face spurs and win and win the ring?
That Kings team should’ve won it all

At the expense of Mike Bibby and the Miami Heat.
And the city of sac got cheated
Had zero contribution though.
Nikos Nikolis Go back and watch the Lakers series, Mavs SHUTDOWN the Lakers with the help of Peja on that playoff run.
Miss these days when the nba was actually competitive

He has one of the best pass in the NBA of all time.
those mav games in those days were sooooo fun to watch
Kings got robbed of a title smfh

Is it safe to say that if klay was not on the warriors.. he would be a more defensive version of peja?

Early 2000s Kings 👍😀
back when the playoffs is not easy to win a 7 game series.not today,many sweeps.
That's because the playoff format was terrible back then. One year the Spurs and Mavs with the 2 best records in the NBA PERIOD met in the 2nd round. That's not fair to both teams as that should be a WCF matchup.

Same
Peja Stojakovic was better than anyone when it comes down to 3pt shot
Luka Calov Stephen curry, Klay Thompson
peja is better then both of them, someone get delluvadova to guard steph
steph is so soft its not even funny. Every time steph is playing bad they are always like he isn't 100%. WTF no one is 100% in the playoffs. The cavs back up pg mucked up steph and he shot 6-24 in the nba finals.

Look at CP# or yourself, the first time you make it out the first round and the WCF is when the NBA made it so you cant play any defense in the league anymore.
Yeah deff Pedja better than anyone!
I'm as old-school as they come but Curry is clearly the best deep shooter ever.
Peja, Dirk, Nash. War of 3 points shooters. Amazing.
I loved watching these two teams so much as a teenager. Peja was a sniper!
Great quality! Most videos out there from early 2000s have quality that make you think they are from the 80s
loved watching every time these two teams played.
These three are so elegant and so good.

Man Peja shooting form so smooth
WTF... Why Did That Bum Shoot The 3 And Not Peja? I Tell U I.Q. Very Underrated
Peja had a quick release damn 😳
Peja Stojakovic really could shoot that basketball man

real basketball

Both of theme were champ in 2011 finals
Peja's J is so sweet
For a 6'10" guy, peja has a smooth jumpshot
Peja's game would flourish in today's nba lol
The west was so stacked. These playoffs were so competitive and intense
Van Exel was just plain shooting the lights out in that series.
My favorite back in the early 2000’s. Mike Bibby.
These were some battles back in the days
Remember when the NBA was entertaining and just about basketball?
being a shooter in the nba in this era was rare
Don’t forget about Doug Christie’s perimeter defense!
Peja had the sweetest arch ever on his shot
Dirk and Nash might be first ballot Hall of Famers but the real hero for the Mavs in that series was Nick Van Exel. 40 points in this game.
What if peja played in today's NBA
Mike would create a video called
WHY PEJA WOULD DESTROY THE NBA
Oh really how about if Michael Jordan played in todays NBA? so Peja will be a bench warmer instead.. ryt?
PEJA WAS UNSTOPPABLE DURING THESE SEASONS
also van exel did good job what a play,everybody was play their %100
I was 15 yr old I wasn't into sports but This is moment I became a Mavericks fan 🔥🔥
Kings always found a way to choke in the end and no wonder the mavs lost to an 8 seed warriors in 2007 or 08 Don Nelson was the warriors coach that year and avery Johnson was his assistant coach in dallas so Nelson knew every play the mavs had😊
