[@KuyaBar]

No matter how many videos are there about the 2011 Mavs, I will not get tired of watching their story. I am a KD fan and I witness and respected Dirk even more when he schooled that young OKC team in 2011. The 2011 Mavs and the 2004 Pistons will always have a special place in my basketball mind and heart.

That one ring changed his entire legacy for the better, from a top 30-40 player of all time to possibly a top 15. Not bad

[@colossalko]

If you think dirk nowitzki is a top 15 player all time, you shouldn't have any basketball opinions. As A PF, by far the least deep position in the NBA, you could make the case he's borderline top 5. That places him around the top 25 at best. And then you got active guys like Giannis (who will probably pass him) and AD (who is arguably better when you take into account his defense). Basketball fans like to disrespect Dirk. But you don't have to overcompensate in the other direction.

[@blakebrown84]

I remember when I watched the Dallas Mavericks win their first-ever NBA championship that year. I knew the Mavs were gonna dominate the Finals and win it all. The team had several veteran players who played crucial roles. Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Tyson Chandler, Peja Stojaković, Brendan Haywood, Brian Cardinal and Jason Terry were all key contributors, and their experience was a significant factor in their success. Those guys were 30 years old or older. They won their only NBA title as the oldest team in the league.🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

[@nvm9040]

That legendary run with capping it off with a ring definitely changed Dirk’s career Dirk had a balanced team with Kidd as point that could pass the ball to their weapons or dunk to Chandler down low

Thanks to this run, here’s a couple players who can never be called ringless: Kidd, Marion, Caron Butler, Peja, and of course German Jesus himself.

[@bobbycone2]

Dirk Nowitzki along with... Jason Terry Jason Kidd Shawn Marion Tyson Chandler These guys are not just some role players. Most past their prime yes, but this was an assembly of some very very good basketball players and the bench (yes I know Jet wasn't a starter) was very deep. The way the Mavs won with only one super star was because at no time was there not 5 players on the court that could win a game. Great team that year! It was so disappointing when Cuban broke the team up.

[@JowdeeJoe]

As much as dirk is my favorite basketball player, he didn't do it alone. Players like JET, JJ Barea, peja, d.stevinson, Ian mahimi, chandler, j.kidd etc all had moments that kept dallas in contention . That was a team effort.

I dont agree on that statement that the Mavs shoulda been the favs in finals at the end.

2011 playoffs really aren't talked about enough. Mainly for two reasons; 1. Kobe and the 2-time champion Lakers were embarrassed by the Mavs, forcing a complete dismantling of that team. 2. LeBron and his newly formed super team got throttled. It is mainly because fans of these players don't wanna accept that both LeBron and Kobe were outplayed by supporting casts.

[@nikosvault]

Even non-Kobe fans acknowledge that Kobe had back-to-back ankle sprains (on March 12 vs Mavs and in G4 vs Hornets) and was in his 15th season. And Lebron fans have never tried to re-write his epic chokejob.
