Dallas Mavericks - 2011 NBA Champions

2011 Dallas Mavericks Road to The NBA Finals

[@snosnu]

Im a spurs fan but I was rooting for the Mavs that year. Its so good to see Dirk and Kidd get a championship and all the vets that played their heart out. Such a great squad. Must have been one of the oldest teams in recent memory to win it all

Dirk dosnt get enough credit on this run he took out defending champ Kobe .... KD Russell and Harden.... and Bosh James and DWade.... those are all HOF he knocked off

[@jaimeperez5777]

Drop mic

[@Mistachill]

I'm not close to being a Mavs fan, but I've said this for a long time: Dirk delivering this ring, with the team he lead, beating the team they beat, trumps both of those rings Lebron won in Miami combined. Way more impressive in my opinion.

[@bobhollywood6292]

This video genuinely makes me emotional. Such an impressive season, laced with the typical adversities that they always faced; but finally managed to overcome. I’ve been a Mavs fans since I got back into basketball in 2001, when they had Dirk, Nash and Finley.

[@tacotom3492]

Single greatest moment of my life . Over come the odds and Win. I cant believe it

[@doctorx1924]

I have been a Spurs fan since '94 but even I could respect the '11 Mavs despite the rivalry the Spurs had with them during the '00s. I was happy to see Dirk finally get a ring.

[@kentkatchem]

I've been a Mavs fan since 1991 ( I know it's strange) but I hated them in 1986.. but when they got so bad.. I felt so bad... and then, I was a #MFFL!

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

I'm a Raptors fan but always had a soft spot for the Mavs so was so pleased for them this year. Especially Dirk

[@noeltaylor3594]

Watching this again. Everytime I see something different. Jet, Matrix, Dirk weren't just relieved, they seem to be so emotional at the thought of how hard it was and how long it took. Dirk and Jet just went through so much as Mavs. Jet looking into the trophy after the game gets to me after 11 years. The 60's Cowboys were always " next year's champion". We saw the c Bob Lilly helmet toss at the end of Super Bowl 5. All that effort. So close. Besides thus M Mavs title, Super Bowl IV is my favorite because it was break through. The joy in Tom Landry's eyes. Dirk and Jet suffered so much. As did Kidd. Wow.

[@matthewbelczyk5264]

I mean hey it’s mutually exclusive, but damn if you think about we stopped 2 potential 3 peats, Lakers and Heat

[@ernieestrada193]

I'm a spurs fan but I'm so happy that Dirk got a ring in 2011 And that's when I graduated high school

[@BenchPressManiac]

I graduated in 2007. I grew up watching those Shaq and Kobe Lakers teams.

[@randallkruse5012]

ME too was a graduation present for me #MFFL I kept hoping we'd win one I knew Dirk wsas NBA Champion caliber player he could do it (I also thought Tony Romo was a SB caliber QB but just didn't have the team aso a #DCFFL)we finallty did it was so sweet! I used grafuation $$ to get the NBA Championship package The Hat Shirt Towel DVD idk where all is now had replace the DVD (figured i'd at least keep that in not lose it) the 06 Loss rigged or not as claimed even by one NBA Ref think Tim Donahue either Go up 2-0 just kick their butts i told my uncle Mark was over I bragged we had it in bag DMN rest of Mavs nation already had Championship parade route planned lost 4 straight calls went our way missed shots etc after that 06-07 Upset embrassment against GSW our ex HC Nellie then loss the 51 &50 win next 2 seasons of average but not Championship contenders then 09-10 upset loss to y'all after beat y'all last season just to win after all the heartbreak after the 06 Finals (even before) was so satisfying! My Family from SA Area huge Spurs fans I was the Rebel in the family rooting for Mavericks If we'd had big kept Nash Finley Nowitzki together maybe we'd had a dynasty like y'all but hety at least we got 1 Finally hope Luka can bring home few more next Dirk? or better? kinda lost the #MFFL love after Dirk my fav player retired but i'm back in the fold #MFFL LET'S GO MAVS! Outta respect ill say GO SPURS GO! loved rooting against Spurs 5X congrats y'all a dynasty one day hope we there Bless ya man !

I’m not talking about being dominant. Which those two were very much of. I’m talking about a man who rallied his team around him, made everyone better, and took down a prime Lebron. Those other cats didn’t even have legit competition back then. And that’s a well known fact!
