Dirk has one of the most underrated title runs in NBA history. Blazers, Lakers, Thunder, and demoralized the Heat.

Dirk beat a super team without a super team.

That’s truly legendary 👏🏻👏🏻

You missed the part where lebron and wade made fun of dirk being sick. Classy

[adamwoolston]

This is one of the craziest title runs ever. They beat a strong Portland team, swept the defending champion Lakers (with a still-averaging-25-per-game Kobe, plus Pau, Bynum and Derek Fisher), the KD-Russ-Harden Thunder, and finally the entire Justice League in the Finals. With ONE superstar. That’s why Dirk is a legend. He only got one ring, but it’s one of the most impressive rings ever

10 years this 2011 NBA Finals match is still a fresh memory.

Dirk Nowitzki was Unstoppable in his prime!

[barryjamesmusicPH]

Dirk and the Mavs really killed it that year:
1. swept defending champ lakers complete with kobe fisher odom metta gasol bynum etc (plus phil jackson)
2. defeated blazers with aldridge brandon roy fernandez batum camby andre miller etc
3. took down okc with baby kd russ and harden (though babies, still solid)
4. huge finals underdogs and came back from 1-2 against lebron wade bosh
the most underrated title run of modern NBA history (arguably alongside 04 Pistons)
PS And this was all without the injured Caron Butler! Thanks @Mark271792

Dirks 2011 playoff run is one of the greatest of all time.

So happy Dirk got a well earned championship!

Dirk will always be a different breed. The way he created his shots, the off balance faders, the unblockable one legged fadeaway, his deadly pump fakes. One of the most unique players to ever touch a basketball and a true Dallas Legend ❤️

[TheRealBeatMaster]

Dirk absolutely dominating the Heat for two games after Bron and Wade mocked him will always be such a satisfying moment

[joeldriver]

Lebron was outscored in this finals by Jason Terry. Let that sink in for awhile...

[javianjohnson]

The “Chosen One” transformed into The “Frozen One”

[simba]

Lebron straight choked. Dirk needs to be appreciated more for what he did. Still gives me goosebumps to this day. Dirk is under appreciated and underrated

[stefanblazic]

Can you imagine Jordan scoring umder 10 points in Finals game

[DailyMoney]

2011 Finals. Mavericks had one of the best runs in sports history

[SportscadiaProductions]

“Can Lebron stop Jason Terry?”🤣🤣🤣🤣

[tvrtkobarbir]

dirk literally schooled lebron in this series like he a little kid

[ogie]

This is my favorite Finals of all time. No one outside Dallas gave the Mavs any chance of winning this series.

THE most underrated title run ever, Dirk never needed a super-team to win the championship
