  • Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade developed a rivalry over the course of two NBA Finals matchups in 2006 and 2011. Rivalry alone doesn't constitute beef. But when you add in some notorious foul calls, some unusually spicy ad-hominem attacks, and one strange bout of fake coughing ... THAT is beef.

      I think you could also include Curry's 2022 run with Dirk's. Steph was easily the best player in every series, and what he did in game 4 of the finals was an all-time performance. The parallels between Dirk and Steph's runs from 2011 and 2022 actually fit well I think. I still think Dirk's 2011 chip is the toughest of all time. Dude was incredible.

      To this day I think the NBA penalized Mark Cuban for constantly criticizing the league and its officiating. One of two series I definitely think were rigged.

    I loved that 2011 team. A classic tale of old timers who suffered numerous heartbreaks & setbacks, now in their waning years, banding together to shoot their last shot at glory...and pulling it off in the most shocking way! Dirk was on a mission that season, eliminating teams they had no business beating.

    Man, I was a new basketball fan in the early 2000's, and the 2006 Finals were one the first that really hooked me. By the end of that thing, I was desperately rooting for the Mavericks, if only because it started feeling rigged with all the free throws!
    Seriously, watching those games start to finish, it felt like all Wade had to do was throw himself in the lane & he'd get 2 shots. It was maddening! I've never seen anything so frustrating, and I can only imagine how it felt being on the court & wondering "wtf am I supposed to do then?!"

      Every time someone has this take which is basically every mavs fan ever I cringe. If you actually watched that series like you say you'd know the mavs were beating wade up almost every drive to the rim. Atleast 95% of the foul calls were obviously fouls. If you actually watch the games and look at the plays instead of the numbers, you'd see he should have gotten those fouls. the mavs could not defend wade straight up and so they fouled him on almost every drive.

Missed the playoffs in 08 because Wade got injured, Shaq traded away. 2009 and 2010 for the heat was just Wade on his own getting the team to a lower seed while playing great.

    These are two great players that both won a lot and are great guys.

Imagine Dirk never winning a championship because of what happened in 2006, that would have been tragic.

    As a German kid, when I grew up and played BB Dirk was like this mysterious legend. That there is this tall, lanky, german guy who is playing in the NBA. Playing with the giants of BB in America. Taller than any of us and an exceptional shooter. We never saw any games because the YT wasn't a thing. There was no local club we could go to and the only thing on TV was soccar. Just pictures and posters in magazines and from that we tried to mimic the fade away. The only time we saw him on TV was for an AD for a specific german bank, which was funny because at this time only we as BB kids knew who he was. But know being able to rewatch everything what I missed of this mans career is like a wonder to me. Glad BB found me.

    2011 was the best finals IMO. Dirk IS Dallas. He overcame everything. He didn't abandon ship. Lebron and Wade tried to clown him and got chumped. Was golden watching lil JJ Barea lock up 6'9 Lebron in the clutch lol

    I said it the and I'll say it now. Tyson Chandler was the center piece and the reason Dallas won that championship. What Dallas always lacked was defence. Tyson's defensive play rubbed off on all his teammates, and set a tone. After they let him walk, didn't surprise me it was back to score score score, play no defense and hope we win.

    Let's be real. Shaq always got away with offensive fouls, and when that wasn't enough, the league gave Wade all kinds of phantom fouls this series. You're vid emphasizes the one at the end of the game, but it was way worse than that. Mavs got robbed like many teams going against marketable superstars get robbed. Wade's comments about leadership probably did steel Dirk's long term resolve. Watching him beat Lebron and Wade was pretty gratifying at the time because of how they conducted themselves in that series

    As far as degree of difficulty goes, Dirks win is probably the pinnacle. Between his age, health, his island of misfit toys co-stars, AND the crushing narrative of his collapse, it's plainly movie worthy stuff.

      ​@@theonlygoodonehere2259 The Spurs weren't around long enough to get beat by the Mavs like in 06 and 09, but Miami was DAL's only challenge? They stomped the 57-win defending champ Lakers. OKC won 55 games that season with KD in his 2nd of 3 consecutive years as the NBA's leading scorer. OKC made the WCFs that season and won the conference the next season, I guess they were like six months too young or something? lol. Did Jason Terry overrate the Mavs too, when he got the Larry O'Brien trophy tattooed on his bicep during the 2010-11 preseason? Everyone knew they were gonna be contenders that year dawg, Chandler was the missing piece they'd desperately been trying to find for about a decade up to that point

    Dirk is a true legend that’s why the Mavs got a statue for him. He made it okay for a big 7 footer to step out shoot 3s and not be in the paint all game. He single handily molded the game for modern 7 footers. People often forget that. Man I wish I could have seen Dirk play in todays NBA his stats would be insane. All respects to KAT but DIRK is the best 7 foot shooter of all time.

    Dirk and the 2011 Mavericks probably the NBA's best storyline ever, maybe even in all sports, probably only one that surpasses it would be the 2007 Giants, it's amazing how a supporting cast and star of mostly ringless veterans finally pushed through against all odds to delay the superteam era against "Not 1, Not 2, But 7" team to cap it off
