He's got a great team. They compliment each other. As the other former stars are about to fall, they managed to get a ring before retiring. Stojakovic, Terry, Kidd, Chandler, Marion. You're not an NBA fan of 2000's if you didn't know them. Solid contribution from them. Their team defense held just enough for Dirk to nail dagger after dagger. Dirk was so highlighted in this playoff run because of his unimaginable offensive performance. But overall every Mavs contributed to this improbable run.

the amount of jumpers scored by dirk these playoffs, beautiful to watch. Amazing shooting display by the veteran core of dirk terry, marion, peja, stevenson, barea and even brian cardinal while chandler and haywood on rebounding and defensive duty. the team was one of a kind filled with matured, skilled, experienced, high IQ players. desperate and destined to win while realizing this was their last chance at a title shot at that point of their careers. so they pushed, put the foot down and it worked magically in their favour/favor. the assembly of each lineup was well balanced and the chemistry was through the roof. unbelievable run, unforgettable also. i consider 2011 champion mavs the most legit, hard earned title winners of the last decade at the least along with the 2014 sa spurs. if i was mark cuban, id go over the cap and resigned every team free agent for 2012 season. but im really glad that this squad of legends got a ring, well deserved!

I remember dirk balling out, but thanks for the stats coach Nick. It really puts in perspective how superlative dirk was that year.

Raptors got lucky, warriors were underpowered. If KD didnt get injured in the final game, they would've got both 6 and 7 and won. Saying this as a neutral NBA fan.

Dirk's movement is so stiff and awkward, but so effective and he's got a fabulous soft touch. there is a book about this high arc shot and the math involved. he practiced this until he dropped. this shows how great technique comes from repetitions. training, training, training.
@tjfrye11 4 жыл бұрын
i wouldn't say it's stiff, but it definitely looks unassuming, like he's trying to trick the d into thinking he's not a threat.
@dexarceo821 4 жыл бұрын
Yup, he's 33 around this time so it's obvious some of his moves look stiff. But 2000 - 2007 Dirk was on a different level. He was KD before KD came along.

His scoring moves are incredible. His ability to use his body to get separation to get a good shot off anytime on offense, and he also gets low and finishes strong inside.
