Probably one of Dirk's greatest moments of his career. Already had a great deal of respect for his game, but the way he persevered through the flu elevated the amount of respect I have for him. Hopefully he'll have another ring before his career is over.

This whole playoff run defined his career. Sweeping the lakers, dropping 40 on okc in a game they should have lost. A bummed finger in the finals, playing with the flu. Dirk was a man on a mission. All those years of getting booted early from the playoffs, he showed what he's capable of on the big stage

Needless to say this was the game that inspired the rest of the Mavs squad for the remainder of the series. Heat lost both game 5 and game 6 because the Mavs played their best basketball and it all came from the inspiration their leader brought them. Dirk is one of the greatest ever because their is very few players in history who could bring the best out of their teammates through inspiration alone. Only 3 I can think of off the top of my head is Bird,Jordan and Iverson, the few who have the guts to conquer the innumerable odds....respect to Dirk for his heroics

For all the excuses he get's time after time. And YES you can play through a cramp, it's difficult and extremely tough, but you can do it. Hell LeBron even did it in 2012, so what happened this time?

Funny when you don’t get layups how pedestrian you can look. And counting rings for a guy who jumps from one all star team to another while the other slaves away in a great conference and wins a title. James wasn’t even the 4th best player in this series. Now games end 128-124 almost every night and when he scores 35 people are calling him the GOAT. Child please. Kareem, MJ and Wilt say hi.
