Series Recap: Mavericks vs Lakers

[Chrs]

This Mavericks team swept the defending champs Lakers, beat an up and coming OKC team who had 3 future MVP’s in the WCF and beat the new super team Miami Heat in the finals. One of the greatest NBA runs in history with only 1 all star. 👏🏼

Come to think of it, the Mavs prevented the Lakers and the Heat from getting a 3-peat.

Commentator: There's nothing like sweeping one of the best teams and with one of the best coaches and one of the best players ever =)

[bryanlopez]

The best mavericks performance in franchise history!

As a Mavs fan nothing but respect for Kobe’s game. RIP to a legend of the game.

This series always seemed like the finals that year to me. It felt like it meant so much.

Coming from a LAL fan, I really want to deny it (obviously) but I have to admit it, that Mavs team was pretty awesome. Having Dirk, Marion, Kidd, Peja, Stevenson, Chandler. I don't know what the hell happened with the Lakers that caused this tragedy during the playoffs. At the end of Game 4, when I saw the Lakers lose and get eliminated from the playoffs. I cried when I was going to my room ( I was 10 back then). My 1st brother is a Mavs fan and he said that there's always next year when he saw me crying. But I felt that it was their last chance to win a title with Kobe on the team. My 2nd and final bro is a Lakers fan and I'm pretty sure he felt sad when they lost. My thoughts were eliminated when Dwight and Nash joined the team but that didn't work out.

"I think we're still gonna win this series." I don't know what's funnier - the fact that the Lakers got swept, or that Kobe made that statement when Dallas was up 3-0.

NBA keep producing quality content like this

[asianlee]

Dallas is showing wat they are capable of....very proud of them, if they can keep this up, then i hope Dirk and the rest of them can finally fulfill their dreams of getting that ring!!

[duffman]

Shockingly this series goes unnoticed, like when Uncle Mike got the ball stolen from him😂but ofc we only remember 2011 for Bron losing to the exact team LOL okay

[fearofsaturn]

#41 and #31 will be hanging in the rafters in Dallas very soon. Loved watching every game that duo played.

[MrKoobear]

still can't believe this was first playoff encounter of Kobe vs Dirk

[bashidogold]

THE 2011 MAVS WAS A GREAT TEAM BUT THE MEDIA WILL TELL YOU OTHERWISE JUST TO CHASTISE LEBRON

[adamcastillo]

Lakers were never the same after this lol

[djbuenaventura]

im a spurs fan. But i give props to Lebron for bringing his team in the finals and he was just 23. Too much Tim, Manu, Parker, Kerr, Horry, Bowen, Barry and Finley though... Bowen the veteran played the younger LBJ very well.

[GongKilluminati]

Kobe is ALWAYS humble, he never once thought he was better than everybody.
Kobe works hard. That's how he got to where he is today.
Haters gonna hate. Players appreciate.
