Dirk's 2011 run is one of the most impressive in NBA history. He was the only All-Star on his team and he beat multiple HOF's in damn near every series. Dirk is that dude! That OKC series he completely went off.

[@mojorisin069]

it IS the most impressive- only Bill Walton's Blazers can compare. Mavs went against THREE HOF'ers and were down double digits numerous time with 5 mins left. This is the best under dog serious ever.

[@comedyguy8746]

@Sam Zheng Absolutely! You can even add Harden, Westbrook, Aldridge, and Gasol in there. It's just crazy what Dirk pulled off. It's a shame the media pins it as more of Lebron's choke, instead of Dirk's dominance over all these great players. But the real fans know what's up!!

[@jizzhunt]

h0lden What about Hakeem’s run in 1994? He was the lone all star on his team.

[@comedyguy8746]

@Jackson Croswell 38 year old Jason Kidd does not count or even close to the level of Bosh or Wade or any of the All-stars the Mavs faced. lol.

@Jackson Croswell a 38 years old PG? really dude?

[@alainkaizer7769]

Still remember how pissed I was when Wade hit the shot and LBJ just started celebrating infront of the Mavs bench, hoping the Mavs win their home games thinking this was over, sweetest Finals game comeback ever.

Put some respect on the 2011 Mavericks. They beat LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Gerald Wallace, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh in their cinderella run!

[@sullybaxter97]

Still no excuse Lebron why Lebron didn’t show up in the 4th and why he averaged 17.8 ppg in this finals

[@mrsky67]

Sully Baxter Lebron got outscored by a 34 year old man off the bench the entire series

[@sullybaxter97]

Hokage Itachi Uchiha which was embarrassing to Lebron and that’s why I said he didn’t live up to being the 2 time mvp he was and didn’t live up to what he did in previous 3 rounds in the 2011 playoffs and Ik mavs swept the lakers bt the lakers ended the season 2-5 after losing 5 games in a row and had a lot of egos during whole season

[@mrsky67]

Sully Baxter 100% agree. I feel like if the Heat won, Lebron would’ve gotten jealous of D wade winning FMVP, which would possibly lead to him going 2004 Kobe mode or an earlier end to the Heat. (If you don’t know. 2004 Kobe kept taking bad shots and etc because he was so jealous of Shaq winning FMVP. So he stopped feeding him, and was shooting less than 38% for the series,)

[@sullybaxter97]

Hokage Itachi Uchiha thats True bt to me 2011 finals was meant for Lebron to take over just bc way he did vs celtics and bulls bt that Lebron at times with the mindset of not trying take over bc Lebron is better when he’s the man and didn’t bring that in 2011 finals

Nowitzki was 6-15 after 3 and Terry was 1-5, yet those were the two guys who spearheaded the late comeback more than anyone else. That’s big time clutch play!

That one-legged fadeaway by Nowitzki is unstoppable. Dude went completely ham during the 2011 postseason. You could argue that it was one of the more improbable runs to the title. Only other teams that are comparable are the 69 Celtics, 95 Rockets, and 04 Pistons.
