Damn I miss the old Dirk!!! Dirk in his prime is a nightmare for NBA

[@waytoocozy]

Dirk in his prime was getting bounced left and right. At least he got his in his last year of his prime at the very end in 2011.

[@MrBritdog2]

Dirk got bounced or his crappy teams, Duncan would have zero titles without all his help, Robinson, Barry, Kerr, S Elliot, Greene,Leonard, Manu, Parker, etc.Duncan never took over a game let alone a series

[@blakecombs1219]

Slightly Biased Kevin Durant Fan Weren't you on another Dirk video saying how he was underrated? Lol

[@ronrongee4981]

Lol Nightmare Lost in 2007 first round to Warriors..... Hahahhahah

[@DaRealestme]

MrBrenman21 a mvp he ain’t deserve

[@prfetwig5100]

Dirk one of the most clutch players to ever play the game

[@matthewethridge4274]

Dirk was incredible in this series, he just didn't get a whole lot of help.

[@PunkSkaful]

I'm a Dallas Mavericks fan.. but this is the best Denver Nuggets line up ever! ...Martin, Birdman, Jr Smith, Melo, Billups NENE and D. Jones ...damn I miss that lineup and they scared the shit out of LA lakers that year

[@TheStatisfiedOne]

Still lost fairly convincing against lakers

[@crazyman9711]

+dave jahoer i wouldnt say that. They pushed them to six with the first 3 games being very close. Nuggets blew them out game 4. Game 5 lakers pulled away. And game 6 the lakers just took it to them

[@onestopshop]

I remember wishing & was so close to a Melo vs Lebron finals! Denver would've won the finals tho

[@sebcapulong2355]

Big Check!

[@TheExecutiveDirector]

Yeah, but Everyone else including me was wishing for a Kobe vs Lebron finals.

This was such an amazing series. If you are Melo's or Dirk's fan, you will love this series. If you are a fan of Kenyon Martin or Josh Howard, it might be painful to watch.

[@chowderchowdown]

This series wasn't even close. This Nuggets team was so much better than the Mavs team. I remember this Denver team winning against Chris Paul's Hornets by almost 60 points.

[@itstaemonson]

yeah the beat them on their home court by 58 points.

[@itstaemonson]

Denver won this series in 5 game that was a horrible series. Denver steamrolled them.

[@jahqayburnett7736]

[@DMavs4life1991]

man as a mav fan.... this year marked it for me til about 2013 that nobody could stop Dirk one on one. Big, Small, didn't matter. Dirks mvp year may have been 2007 but his prime was 2009-2013. Hell even at 37 he's still carrying this squad. Gonna be sad when he calls it quits.

[@mysteryman2281]

Absolutely :(

[@weekendwarrior1909]

look how dirk drives to the basket before! nobody could stop him one on one during that time.

[@johnpaulgonzalez9016]

crazy how the chauncey trade made such an impact. i miss this denver team. melo was the definition of a smooth scorer yet badass low post player, now he jjst forces his shot in new york

[@antoinemantoux6049]

Your comment must be from 2017 , well obviously he was forcing his shot he wasn't in his prime no more the last year of his prime was 2015

[@oldnbaschool]

the interesting thing is 05 - 09 those were Melo's Prime Years. He was quick, aggressive, played good defense and shot the ball non stop and played pretty much consistent all the time. I don't know why he has regressing so quickly, maybe, should've stayed with the Nuggets.

[@JaySirPrince]

I highly disagree. Melo has had some of his best seasons the past few years. He won his first scoring title in 12-13 then had his best all around season up to date the year after setting career highs in 3pt % and rebounds. Before his knee surgery last year he was averaging almost 25 ppg. This year he started slow off the surgery but picked it up with his percentages in the 2nd half. He's still one of the best scorer's in the NBA. He set career highs in assists and was playing the defense of his career this year.

[@theiggod6921]

the Knicks are a terrible organization, they contend for 2 or 3 years, then take 3 or 4 years to rebuild. They've been doing this for years, they never build a solid team.

[@theiggod6921]

fuck a scoring title, he can't even get his team to the playoffs in the East. He went every year with the Nuggets. Plus he won his scoring title because Kobe had diminished and Iverson was gone. Melo won scoring title with 28.7 ppg but his best was 28.9 ppg in 06 and he had another year where he put up 28.2 ppg. - Melo's best years and best chance at winning a title were in Denver, now he's just an out of shape volume shooter.

[@theiggod6921]

***** he's still good, but the Knicks are going to suck this year. D Rose will play good, but Joakim Noah is washed he was coming of the bench so I don't know why everybody thinking him Melo, and D Rose are going to be a big three. Porzingis still needs to develop and they have a First year coach. The Knick will barely make the playoffs.

[@thegoldenhero]

Melo never been a good defender

[@quinnencalade]

Everyone’s talking about Dirk. Like can Carmelo get some love. Prime Carmelo was one the best scorers in the game.

[@MrGoofyDamian]

Dirk Nowitzki the Future Hall of Famer

[@irepJamGoonz]

I loved this athletic above the rim running melo. now hes still the same just more spot up inside bully

[@rosegaaradrosa4134]

LOVE MORE STAR VS STAR

[@kiikat_]

Josh Howard was trash that series

[@endrity]

This will go down as an irrelevant series in the history of the NBA or Dirk's career, losing to a higher seed and having a bad roster around him. But it's probably his greatest individual series. They covered him one on one with some big athletic forwards, and he killed them all.

[@blakecombs1219]

endrity Very good point. Also the fact that he didn't have anyond around him and the entire defense was focussed on him, yet he still averaged 35 is incredible. He was literally almost unstopable from 08-12

[@damienhawkes5001]

endrity a bad roster j Kidd Jason terry josh Howard jjbarea deshawn Stevenson Shawn Marion Brendan Hayward Caron Butler damn near the same exact roster that beat the Miami heat with lebron wade and bosh......and so melo gets no credit for leading his team the series is irrelevant that is the dumbest shit I ever heard and if that’s the case all melo playoffs with the knicks is irrelevant because he lost to higher seeds with better rosters 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ollian14]

@@damienhawkes5001 ​Stevenson, Marion, Hayward and Butler were not on this team. And Tyson Chandler was a major piece to the championship team. He changed their culture by bringing toughness and attitude next to Dirk.

[@idm4christ]

Dirks been putting the scoring load on his back since the second or third year of his career. If he had the pieces tim Duncan had then dirk wouldve had 6 or seven championships, no lie!

Dirk at his best RESPECT

[@CWJ0725]

both are no longer in the league now. Time flies.

[@nschu41]

How bad was Josh Howard this game?

[@theoldbk5419]

This was Dirk’s best year imo, although he was a monster in 2011, the team was better so they were able to make a deeper run and win the 2011 championship. But if 2009 Dirk had a better team in 2009 he could have had a legendary run just like 2011 or better!!

[@ed379]

I was at this game. Carmelo's wife Lala got into a fight with some hecklers about 10 rows down from where I was seating. Pretty funny, and it was a awesome game. Dirk out-dueled Melo. But the Nuggets were to good overall that year.

[@chingshunyung8796]

Dirk averaged 34.4/11.6/4 on 66 TS% this series, and the Mavs still lost 4-1. Jason Terry and Josh Howard both shot under 40%, and Jason Kidd get outplayed by Chuancey Billups,.

[@bt86548]

This starting line up just like happen yesterday

[@TranzitHendrix]

So many melo haters i pray he makes it happen in nyc

I felt bad for melo, but at the same time the hawks paid melo even though he isn't playing and he's playing with the team he wants

[@siggietyrone3965]

:c

[@egyptianpiffin]

Huge mavericks fan since 02-03, one thing I will say is after watching back a bunch of playoff dirk clips. He got bailed out on sooooooo many calls that to me weren’t really fouls. And Josh Howard is the biggest bust in mavericks history besides marquis daniels. They both should have been developed and contributed wayyyyyyyyyy more to that team

[@dipaculao1960]

Now that he has retired, they will appreciate and miss his great skills.
