Final 3:15 PLAYOFF ENDING Mavericks vs Suns Western Semifinals 2005 🔥🚨

On this date in 2005, Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash traded clutch buckets as the Mavericks tied the series at 1!

this was the yr i started watching NBA. Nash and Suns are the reason I watched it.

Shawn Marion with a brilliant defense on Dirk (not looking sharp here). Those "small-ball" Suns were something else

[dwsmatos]

Look everyone! No flops, no foul traps, no 3 point fever, no superstar sitting on the bench because he doesn't want to play, no bs! Pure and classic basketball!

These two teams had a nice rivalry for 3 seasons with each other from 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2006-2007 , which included two playoff matchups that were very entertaining in 2005 (this video) and 2006 Western Conference Finals

Look at shawn marion man, so inspirational

[TheJstroud]

This was really such a fun time to watch the NBA. Before all the politics and team hopping stars who refuse to work hard to win.

Fun fact: Shawn Marion won his title as a Maverick in 2011

2000-2017 NBA is having the most fun and entertaining match-ups.

Suns vs Mavs Series are always so good. This time I think Phoenix will get revenge. Suns in 6.

[pauljansen]

How Dallas could use a guy like Dirk right now....

[BullyMaguire]

Ah yes, Spurs, Suns and Mavericks the 3 rival teams in the west in late 2000s, but Spurs always come on top againts those 2 teams.

[MikahTheMan]

This Suns era team was so much fun to watch...this team deserved a ring. Sucks they were never able to acheieve one

[LotisXD]

1:55 Didn’t know finney smith played back in 2005 🤣

[avidmomokayoitsumareader]

I swear Dirk was made of only 8 pixels in 2005. How is it this clear?

[jeffcupp]

Crazy, this is almost 18 years old, and it would be difficult to tell it wasn't played yesterday based off the TNT broadcast . 😏

[DineroMadeIt]

Late 90s - early 2000’s was the best era idc what anyone says 🤷🏽‍♂️

[peytonlong]

I remember around this time wondering which one of these teams could finally overcome the Spurs or Lakers and it was the mavs who came out as the 3rd and only team to make the finals in the 2000’s

[yourboy]

Something about the saturation or whatever of these camera but this nba seemed golden compared to todays nba

[eldiablo]

Probably the lamest call of Kevin Harlan on a game-winning shot
