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.

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.

@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!!

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
@mrsky674 жыл бұрын
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,)

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
