The Wallstar It’s not top 5 lol but still great nonetheless

Slightly Biased Kevin Durant Fan Name me another team that had to defeat 3 all time great teams in a playoff run.Facing Kd (Top 15 ever) Russ (top 20),Kobe Bryant (Top 12) Pau Gasol (Top 50), LeBron James (Top 2) Dwayne Wade (Top 15) Chris Bosh (Top 50 ish) This is the best overall playoff run.Im a Spurs fan btw.

Danny Avila Did you just said russ was a top 20 player ?

Tay Cou His ring that year was worth more than any of LeBron Kobe Steph or KD's titles!

I'm going to miss that one leg jumper . he really was an original

@The Wallstar No Okc made the finals the year after this Mavs run. Not the year before.

@@lukaz3336 that is what he said, read it again

Dirk was sick

And no injuries from the opposing teams

There's no such thing as a superteam or getting saved by teammates. Yall say the dumbest stuff. And Dirk had plenty of help. Every player that has ever won did.

​@@sportstalkonly1442 Facts!!!!. Management exists for a reason, and its to make better teams. Like what are they supposed to do? "hey lets spend money to build the shttiest team ever".

lakersfansince1991 I see so much disrespect tho, it’s really annoying seeing it as a lifelong Dallas resident and mavs fan

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.

so true

Denis Zidane he had Jason kidd??? Amazing point guard and also an amazing playmaker

D.Rose

Oh there definitely will be, it's been talked about here in Dallas several times lol

Did they say how big it would be?

you can just say build a statue instead of "erect" but yeah I get what you sayin

why? wrong with "erect"?

This is Dallas Cowboys country but that being said Dirk is no doubt the most beloved sports figures here in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area! So that statue will be built with his signature leg out fade away!

King Wani the best part was him humblinf. LeBron.

Was Wade's team

He did sweep Kobe but Kobe put in work with a fucked up knee unlike Lebron who got punked and outplayed by the likes of Jason Terry and JJ Barrea.

Lucas michaels atleast bron ain't get swept 😂😂

jimmy Yang that’s true but Nowitzki took on Bosh, Wade, and Lebron all at once.

Yeah but Dirk's was god mode all through out this playoff run. Destroyed super teams all the way to the finals.

waaaaaaaay better.

Dirk is also one of the most unguardable players of all time

yeah, and it's not even close. Dirk destroyed tough teams and won his ring, while KD joined to the toughest team in order to have rings.

@@bigtyjme8457 As a spurs fan we will miss Dirk. He and Tim Duncan are the pure definition of loyalty

I bet Dirk is like "where's my Tony Parker, Ginobili, and David Robinson????""" He had nothing after Nash left in 04. Imagine what would have happened if the Mavericks had gotten Dirk some real help??

@Andy G , I'm not saying he was a one-man show. I'm saying he didn't have any All-Star help and LeBron did. Name one player on that Mavericks team that was the equivalent of Dwyane Wade or Bosch.

Varejao agrees

@@jaylord00 I feel bad for Varejao, dude was with Cavs when Warriors won then the next year lost when the cavs won. But i heard that he was offered a ring from either the Warriors or Cavs but he didn't accept it

@@ShawnFX He played for the Cavs more than half of that season before he got traded to Warriors only to lose against his former teammates. He was offered a ring by the Cavs but didn't accept it. The next year Warriors won with KD, he then accepts the ring from the Warriors.

This man is probably the most beloved man in sports, no player has the respect of his peers like Dirk, and that’s coming from a fan who has no team (Seattle)

@@derpy.1 Rip SuperSonics 😭

Yes and he had no one on that team really…a group of role players and the 06 team didn’t have Lebrun James so this will forever be cemented.

@@devinrogers7978 facts, not only did he revenge his defeat, he did it against the quote unquote best player in the world, and Wade was still considered a top 5 player in the league at that time, amazing stuff.

Not sure why you guys think it was ONLY role players on the team. They obviously weren't a super team, but were a very good all around team. Dirk even struggled in the last game. Dirk had an amazing series and led the team, but it wasn't really just him vs the heat like people like to say.

He was the only all-star on a team of 30+ year olds and they were also missing Caron Butler who was arguably their second best player before going down with an injury, role players stepped up but this was Dirk vs Heat all the way. Without Dirk the mavs win 1 game max, there were only 3 players on that team that averaged double figures in points that series, so cut it out bruh, Dirk carried.

@RB I really meant for the whole season. Players did step up, but they did have a good veteran core. Dirk was obviously the leader of the team and borderline carried the playoffs.

Dirk motherfucking Nowitzki lmao

Jack Liu okc was young, kobe and lakers were burned out but prime lebron and heat tho

Disrespecting Kidd callling him a role player isnt cool

I agree. These people are acting like Kidd, Terry and Marion were in their primes lol. I'm not saying that they didn't help, but there is no question that Dirk carried the load for the Mavericks that entire playoff run. Dirk had a few games where he struggled during that run but he always came up big in the 4th quarter pretty much every single series.

Dirk earn my respect even more after beating Miami's big 3 in their prime.

Dirk loved the mavs as the mavs loved dirk. Couldn’t see dirk with any other team.

In Dallas the city that loves the Dallas Cowboys the one athlete that Dallas loves the most is Dirk Nowitzki. They named an important street in downtown Dallas after him. He is the only athlete alive or dead that a street is named after in Dallas.If that’s not an irony I don’t know what is. Respect.🇩🇪🇺🇸

Maybe Luka Doncic will carry that Dirk torch & spend his entire HOF career with Dallas.

Everyone is hungry for a championship

Damian, curry and klay, giannis... wait and c

he did . and that 06 Finals was also a GREAT series. miss this type of nba

He got revenge but dwade was still the best player in this series. Mavs deserved this but dwade outplayed dirk again. Too bad though, only dwade showed up for miami.

Yep, after the refs gave the Heat the 06 Finals he wasn't having it this time! DIRK GOAT!! Lol at this guy above me saying "dwade still the best player." LMFAO oh man, millenials are a strange bunch!!

Voice of REASON Dirk was pretty damn good but he shot 42% from the field. Wade averaged the same amount of points but on 55% shooting as a guard.

The Spurs inflicted the worst beatdown in NBA finals history, a very underrated fact. LeBron's legacy basically was erased right there. It doesn't matter the teams involved, it's the finals dude, it's not supposed to be so one-sided. Not even the Nets facing Shaq and Kobe lost like this, they tried to fight at least. Many examples of underdogs facing monsters and you didn't see a 14 pts margin of victory. And the funny thing is...
