The best highlights from game 6 of the 2011 NBA Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat.

[@theajroseshow]

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.

OVERRATED. Name a player who's better at shooting 3's. I'll wait.

[@gor9027]

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.

[@tavonthatruth640]

So many squads can't say that though despite being loyal. , DeRozan got done dirty and you wanna talk about loyalty.

[@ansarmaskenov5284]

@@tavonthatruth640 DeRozan is a bum who plays no defense and doesnt have a 3pt shot, so he deserved being traded.

[@rebecca4680]

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.

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

[@rowdycmoore]

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

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?

I was 11 years old during this series. It was the first and so far only Dallas championship that has happened in my lifetime, so you can bet that our family was watching this win. But even at the time I didn't realize how improbable our title run was; We were nearing the end of Dirk's prime and our window, yet we swept the defending championship Lakers, showed the Thunder how it's done, and then demolished the superteam Heat in their own home to seal the deal. What a revenge for 2006. I don't care how long it takes for us to be good again; this singular moment will be the greatest in our franchise's history. Nothing will top this. Ever.

i still remember watching dirk walk into the locker room on live tv while it was happening , im a celtics fan but i live in dallas so this was nice to see for dirk

[@donleonardo7899]

So proud of Dirk Jet Kidd Peja Marion winning the chip. Salute my mavs Squad. Wish Devin Harris and Josh Howard won with us. We should've won in 06 but it's all good

[@Wuisini]

2019! Luka Doncic bringing another championship to Dallas!

[@aviorhaedarchalid9815]

The greatest playoff run in nba history. Swept the back to back defending champion Lakers, beat the OKC big 3 and destroyed the Heavily favorite Eastern big 3 in Miami Heat. A well deserved and legit championship for Dirk and for the rest of the team. Better than all of KD's participation trophies I'd say.. Not even close.

[@jarlborg2102]

@Zacary Grasl Steph, Klay, Draymond & the rest of the GSW were already a Champ caliber team before KD joined the ride. Put Carmelo Anthony, or JR Smith, or Jeremy Lin instead of KD in that 73-9 team and they would still make it to the finals.

[@jarlborg2102]

@Zacary Grasl well, they won 1 title without KD, and lost 1 in a very close fight. series went game 7. And they'll probably win another the next couple of years even without KD. But one thing is certain, KD wouldn't have single ring if he didn't ride with the 73-9 team.

[@mja91352]

So: the 76s losing only ONE GAMRE in 1983 was NOT the greatest playoff run in NBA history? Think maybe it was...

[@railenherman6482]

As much as I wish the Heat won this series, this is still one of the greatest rings ever won. Sweeping through prime Kobe and Pau, the defending champions, gentleman sweeping prime KD and Russ, and finally dismantling the Big 3 Heat with prime Lebron, Wade, and Bosh to avenge the heartbreaking 2006 loss. Which was also, fittingly, won on the opposing team’s floor.

[@attrunsantisima8196]

this 2011 run by the dallas mavericks is legendary

[@P_Pusher89]

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.

[@TerryTesng]

2004 NBA Finals:

[@lennyface8771]

kobe isn't even top 10

[@bekimrobertson2218]

James failed to deliver in this game yet they say he is greater than MJ , Jordan never lost a finals!

[@Introverder]

James lost many times in finals - I guess the same amount as MJ has won in those finals.

[@omesanni]

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

[@beatlejuice2151]

Pacer fan here. That was the summer I was a Dallas fan for that series. Hell I think fans of every team not named the "Heat" was a Dallas fan. Well done Mavericks in taking down the evil empire. The force was strong in Dirk that series! From this Pacer fan to you guys, Thank You! 😀😀😀

[@baseballheaven6755]

26 year old Bosh, 26 year old Lebron, and 29 year old Wade lost to 37 year old Kidd, 33 Year old Terry and 32 year old Dirk. Now that's funny

[@dantesuguitanjr2629]

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

[@paulsingh2301]

Dante Scott Suguitan nba 2014 playoffs. spurs beat miami 4-1

[@dantesuguitanjr2629]

paul singh but Mr Singh the Spurs were favorites last year so thats not a true upset

[@allthatjeff]

2006 Finals Heat beat Dallas 4-2

[@dantesuguitanjr2629]

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.

[@allthatjeff]

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.

[@TheSakristanas14]

It will happened again 2024 nba champions

[@Bahzhsjenbs]

I will never forget this. Dallas Mavericks the Champions and Jason Kidd is the real MVP for me!

[@velse9869]

Seeing a Team like Dallas with that many vets to finally get a taste of a championship was really sweet, especially since it was their first one. You don’t see non-flashy/sexy teams win a championship that often. Just a well rounded team good enough to execute the ultimate goal

[@garryvincentdemetrio4295]

2024 and another finals or champion for dallas with luca doncic another European player on stage. Im from the Philippines and i love Dallas organization and marc cuban. Great team owner great relationship to the players and coaches ❤❤❤

[@netjunkie9]

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.

[@razkable]

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

[@alonso7124]

miami fans are the worst! just leaving... smh. but wow what a game from the mavs!

[@cashnovaa]

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😂

[@christianmorales4058]

+NITO JR 2011

[@xredgreenbluex]

+NITO JR What that got to do with this L yall took in 2011 with a stacked team? Nothing soo gtfo here with that 😂

[@cashnovaa]

+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😂😂😂

[@xredgreenbluex]

***** 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 😂

[@Pauixxxxx]

Now!! Lukai and Dallas 2024 NBA CHAMPION!

[@Itielreyes]

As a Lakers fan, this is one of the most satisfying finals ever.

[@k.u.a.n117]

Hope the dallas will get the second championship!
