That 2011 Dirk Mavs run doesn’t get enough credit for one thing: *they were the first and only team to ever sweep Phil Jackson in a playoff series*

[@0vern9K]

Yes, but looking at that lakers rosters outside of kobe ( who was hurt ) compared to Dallas D were the deeper and better team. They also were aging and coming off 3 straight finals. I don’t know why ppl act like the mavs weren’t a 3rd seed that year. Most didn’t have them doing anything because at that point durk was seen as a infamous choke artist still. Which is what made lebron loosing with a super team even more shocking for the basketball world

[@keithrochester4671]

They beat LeBron Kobe and kd

[@LouSeph]

They should give credit for a Lakers player sleeping with Pau Gasol’s GF.

[@bighomie7104]

Nah overrated playoff run

[@keithrochester4671]

[@CashKetchum718]

Saying Murray is playing like 2022 will barton is a violation

[@cruzloera4931]

1970 Celtics and 1999 bulls should have been mentioned as the only 2 teams to not even make the playoffs.

[@oscarm3_]

great video idea wilson 🔥

[@awesomeninja234]

Also Jokic doesn't deserve most of the blame for this Timberwolves series. He has done everything possible. It's his teammates who have failed to show up in this series. He does deserve a little bit of blame since the best player must take some sort of accountability, but when his team has no all stars and no bench, there's only so much he can do. The guys who deserve the most blame are his supporting cast and his coach for arguing too much

[@user-lu4ug7ff2s]

1996 houston how about that sweep against seattle in the second round.

[@awesomeninja234]

Timberwolves are championship contenders in my opinion. Their defense is too good these playoffs.

[@djhumphries3738]

I already had them as one but if they beat the nuggets I have them winning the championship

[@Boltpacalypse]

They took game 3 tho

[@ST-tf4sq]

Nuggets get too much hate. People just wait for them to lose and hate, specially LA fans which are like more than Half nba fans

[@Dizcrete]

Tbf laker fans are just bandwagon casuals most of them atleast

[@JjJj-lx7xx]

​@@DizcreteNot the ones that been fans since 80s or kobe days but its the LeBron fans

[@Dizcrete]

@@JjJj-lx7xx nah kobe fans are literally the worst because most of them are just kobe meat riders and have been blinded by their love of kobe and say some ridiculous stuff.

[@august6281]

and the fans of other MVP candidates.

[@Tikitackfouls]

Who's hating on the nuggets

[@Historicutuber]

Wilson I have not seen your videos in a minute bro. Leggo

[@WilsonSy]

Welcome back. Hope you enjoy this one

[@LargeDude2023]

Glad Denver won. Hope they win the series and shut up the critics

[@Baglife225]

Wilson the goat

[@damonsonnier34]

What about the 1996 Rockets? They were swept by the Sonics.

[@MrDwightsimon]

No they weren't

[@brdd9982]

​@@MrDwightsimonYes they were lol

[@melvynsngltn27]

​@MrDwightsimon Houston got killed. Swept in 4 lost by 35pts in game 1

[@RoyPage1970]

Yes they were zoomer​@@MrDwightsimon

[@MrDwightsimon]

@RoyPage1970 Actually, no they did not. Where are you getting your information? You are insane sir

[@PhilBurr100]

The 1996 Rockets were swept by Seattle *

[@chuckyjamesamartin1968]

That 2005-06 Heat team kind of seems like a fluke in retrospect. They rehired an old coach mid-season and won the ring, were only 44-38 the next season, though many thought it was because they were banged up, but then they got swept by a pretty underrated Bulls team in the first round. Then they completely bottomed out the next year going 15-67, and Riley stepped down and hired Spolestra

[@tobznoobs]

whenever you see young mj pictures he really is anthony edwards father! im sure mj had a banger one night in atlanta.

[@KhiryTheKonqueror]

07 heat was the worst to get sweep

[@rubyruff2713]

2006 heat should of run it back but they didn’t

[@xman1519]

Wilson, didnt the rockets get swept after their repeat?

[@user-xd4rt2pb3p]

Yeah he forgot

[@TBCLINQ]

Wade crying from the shoulder pain will be remembered .

[@razkable]

He really got hurt

[@Mikeslife714]

Make sure you keep the same energy when it comes to the nuggets. There will be a repeat be. You are a prisoner of the moment. You and twitter were quick to crown the Timberwolves but will be wrong about this nuggets team.

[@kits3198]

You will come back on Monday when its 2-2

[@brianfrancia3798]

Yep

[@cysoul413]

I've noticed after watching a good amount of your videos that you always get extra with the slights and Criticism of Shaq as if he's not an All time great player of any era. You come off as a bitter Kobe Bryant fan allowing the Jordan, Lebron Goat debate to displace your feelings as a result, you must rewrite Shaq's legacy to buffer Kobe. I Love Kobe as well but we all know from 96-04 who ran the Lakers and got 3 Finals MVP's. & From 99-04 who was the best player. Then again you may be under 30 & missed his prime & if that's the case then I understand your ignorance.

[@ivanfilipovic8760]

My guy, you have 0 ball knowledge

[@Bluebirdfalling]

meh. always negative with things.

[@Historicutuber]

The 2007 heat were awful I remember

[@razkable]

Injuries

[@SpursOn3]

Lebron james the 🐐

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

Mr. It's Just Basketball if he's losing. 🐐 level talent, but not 🐐 level mentality

[@chad_b]

Nope

[@RoyPage1970]

Lmfao 😂😂
