Got a request? Leave a comment here. ask.fm/gearmast3r The best highlights from game 6 of the 2011 NBA Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat.
I couldn't help but get a little choked up seeing all those vets get rings. The five Mavs on the floor in the final minutes were Dirk, Kidd, Chandler, Terry, and Marion. Plus Peja on the bench. Six guys who came so close so often finally reaching the basketball promised land. It doesn't get any better than that.
Golden State Warriors 2015 Champions your team blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals with an "unanimous" overrated mvp with the best regular season record of all time
dirk kidd butler terry peja marion haywood cardinal chandler stevenson....there were a lot of good vets on this team who had never won and finally got it done....there wasnt a single player who had won on this team lol...marion kidd peja dirk are all hall of famers and caron could be
Dirk was one of the few superstars that stayed with his former team, went several years without a ring, remained patient and finally won one against a heavily favored opponent in this Miami Heat team, the same franchise that denied him in 2006. That's what made this series win such a great story. Dirk stayed loyal to his team and it paid off.
Tavon ThaTruth . Loyalty doesn’t pay off anymore in the NBA. Teams aren’t loyal, so players aren’t loyal. Dirk’s story may make us feel good, and yes his loyalty is admirable, but that loyalty is no longer a viable option.
LeBron James a team hopper too. Calls every superstar to join him smh 🤦🏽♂️ he’s gotten bailed out so many times and has always been in the leastern conference, first year in the west and doesn’t make it to the playoffs “playoff mode” he said lol
Haven’t they realized that recent champs are determined by greater system instead of roster, and 3pts... this mavs is always a threat even they got a deficit of 15 because they guys who can shoot 3s, spurs shoot 3s, gsw shoot 3s, kyrie and co shoot 3s.
Donald Makalintal wouldnt say prime cause they all had different primes but definitely younger and more athletic and i think thats the point you were tryna get across
One of the happiest nights of my life. It's really disappointing that from the time the buzzer sounded they immediately talked about it being a loss for the Heat and all their incompetence in the series rather than talking about all the Mavs, Dirk, and what every other veteran on the roster had been through up until that point in their careers. How they shocked everyone throughout that whole playoff run starting with SWEEPING the Lakers, who were still an elite squad at that point. Whatever, it was still one of the happiest memories of my short life. Go Mavs
luis alcala They didn't have a plan for lauding the Mavs because everyone at the ESPN machine expected Lebron to win. Felt SO good to see Dirk, Kidd, Terry Tyson and everyone else shove crow down so many people's throats. MFFL
luis alcala "it was still one of the happiest memories of my short life"... Dude wtf are you saying? .....But I do agree with everything else you said! :)
Mega M I just wanted to get across that I'm a young person, so saying a memory is one of the best I've had thus far probably doesn't mean much to people since a lot of my best experiences have yet to come
+luis alcala JJ Barea was the feel good story of the yr. to me in sports for 2011, and I'm a Heat fan. W/ that said, both the Lakers & Heat still chocked against the Mavs that postseason, but I still enjoyed watching this tiny little vixen in Barea embarrass my teams for just 1-single postseason.

I remember being mad at Dallas for sweeping the hell out of my Lakers but I was glad to see them beat Miami & get J Kidd, Peja and Dirk their rings. Dirk was lighting Chris Bosh's ass up all series long and damn that was beautiful to watch.
I was young back then and when I realized the Lakers were eliminated from the Playoffs, I went to my room and cried. I didn't even care who won in that year's Finals. I didn't even realize that they actually swept by the Mavs. How embarrassing that was. Confidence was backed up when Howard and Nash joined the team but all was left was bitter disappointment. BARELY made the Playoffs due to D'Antoni's terrible coaching and Kobe forcing Dwight to learn which led him to sign with Houston. What the hell happened?
The series and win that severed forever any comparisons between MJ and LeBron. MJ never choked this hard and lost while being favored, to a role player like Jason Terry.
sunnyboy8644 Yea you can’t be the best with a choke job like that, he #2 but definitely not the goat, gotta be held to a different standard if you want to be the best who ever did it, no excuses.
In a way, Dallas did Lebron a favor. People actually felt sorry for him after this, he performed so poorly. When they came back and won it, it seemed like redemption.
jacob portillo those teams where what? Stacked up with superstars? This 2011 swept the 2x defending champs and defeated the up and coming okc team that features durant, westbrick and harden. Golden girl warriors only faced some scrub ass team.
This was the greatest playoff run ever. From looking like they were bout to go home in the first round against a very good Portland team with brandon roy....to sweeping the defending champion lakers....then dismantling a young but very very fast paced athletic thunder team....then beating a very tough miami heat team
DH K a guy who looks to be a proud Minnesota Vikings fan calling another team that’s actually won a championship ‘losers’ is fucking laughable. You’re a joke 😂
Dallas beat the Los Angeles Lakers that were the 2X Defending NBA Champions with the 2008 NBA MVP & we're in the last 3 NBA final games, & they beat a good Miami Squad with a NBA MvP Lebron James. Dallas was the best team that season.
Makaveli The Don the beginning of the basketball we see today , more emphasis on the three and spacing. Guys like Joel Anthony on the heat couldn't play in this series and heat had too much liabilities on the court.
The greatest playoff run in nba history. Swept the back to back defending champion Lakers, beat the OKC big 3 and destroyed the Heavily favorite Eastern big 3 in Miami Heat. A well deserved and legit championship for Dirk and for the rest of the team. Better than all of KD's participation trophies I'd say.. Not even close.
@Zacary Grasl Steph, Klay, Draymond & the rest of the GSW were already a Champ caliber team before KD joined the ride. Put Carmelo Anthony, or JR Smith, or Jeremy Lin instead of KD in that 73-9 team and they would still make it to the finals.
@Zacary Grasl well, they won 1 title without KD, and lost 1 in a very close fight. series went game 7. And they'll probably win another the next couple of years even without KD. But one thing is certain, KD wouldn't have single ring if he didn't ride with the 73-9 team.
Mavs fan here much respect to our cousin da spurs it just goes to show miami cant mess with texas! Good job spurs look forward to playing yall this upcoming 2015 season!
always good to watch this video and be reminded of just total domination of one of the game's all time goat's. god i wish dirk could get another one...
this was the most heart breaking moment for me as a basketball fan. looking back now I'm proud of the Mavs' title. a lot of great players finally got that ring
Funny , people say GSW fans are bandwagons , but the Heat and Cavaliers have the worst fans . People are only fans of the Cavs and Heat when they are winners . Fans are nowhere to be found when those teams lose .
I was 11 years old during this series. It was the first and so far only Dallas championship that has happened in my lifetime, so you can bet that our family was watching this win. But even at the time I didn't realize how improbable our title run was; We were nearing the end of Dirk's prime and our window, yet we swept the defending championship Lakers, showed the Thunder how it's done, and then demolished the superteam Heat in their own home to seal the deal. What a revenge for 2006. I don't care how long it takes for us to be good again; this singular moment will be the greatest in our franchise's history. Nothing will top this. Ever.
I shed a tear when they won it.. all those years behind my team.. win or lose they finally did it. Want to thank my uncle Carmelo.. for introducing the Dallas Mavericks to me when I was a younger boy.. I remember watching them play for the first time when in Dirks first rookie season with the Mavericks. Then the big Three.. Dirk, Nash, Finely.
2024 and another finals or champion for dallas with luca doncic another European player on stage. Im from the Philippines and i love Dallas organization and marc cuban. Great team owner great relationship to the players and coaches ❤❤❤
What a team this was. Loved Kidd, he was a bit old at this point but he was very good, then you had Jason Terry, AWESOME shooter, great form, and the great Dirk, along with Chandler and his defense. Very good team.
I remember being a sophomore in college and watching this game at my friends house in the dog days of summer 2011. I'll never forget watching one of the games where the mavs were down by like 15 and I remember getting pissed and changing the channel. When I watched the ESPN highlights later that night I was blown away that they managed to come back and win that game! I'm glad Dirk managed to avenge the 2006 finals and win this one
I can't believe how mature and humble Dirk is. How can he be so cool after winning the finals against a team of Miami's calibre?? Oh mama there goes that man
Jeff,Mark,and Mike are the best ever to call the game I be happy to hear them call the game in the finals they know basketball and know how to connect with each other
Watching this series in 2024 as Mavs are back in the finals after 13 long years. I hope the storyline remains the same and Mavs win it now against a heavily favored Celtics team. In LuKai we trust ❤
i still remember watching dirk walk into the locker room on live tv while it was happening , im a celtics fan but i live in dallas so this was nice to see for dirk
Easily my favorite NBA Finals. Dirk and Kidd are legends getting their deserved ring. Chandler, Terry and Barea also top likeable players who also deserved it.
as a die hard mavs fan since i was 4 years old, watching the mavs win the championship 2011 was the greatest memory ever! i was 16 when this happened and let me tell yall i was in tears!! i was crying my eyeballs out watching DIRK raise up the trophy! this man deserved it so much as well as the other team members. Dirk was absolutely extraordinary this season! I remember i celebrated all summer wearing a different mavs shirt everyday lol that whole school season i told every body mavs were taking it all nobody believed me :) i love that they proved the doubters wrong!
As much as I wish the Heat won this series, this is still one of the greatest rings ever won. Sweeping through prime Kobe and Pau, the defending champions, gentleman sweeping prime KD and Russ, and finally dismantling the Big 3 Heat with prime Lebron, Wade, and Bosh to avenge the heartbreaking 2006 loss. Which was also, fittingly, won on the opposing team’s floor.
Pacer fan here. That was the summer I was a Dallas fan for that series. Hell I think fans of every team not named the "Heat" was a Dallas fan. Well done Mavericks in taking down the evil empire. The force was strong in Dirk that series! From this Pacer fan to you guys, Thank You! 😀😀😀
has anybody had such a hot shooting series like dirk? its like he could never miss a shot. The only person I know that can shoot like this is Kevin Durant
This was one of the Greatest Teams ever.. They swept the defending champion Lakers, beat OKC.. Then beat an Over powered team in the Miami Heat. Had three All stars and still lost.. one of the Greatest runs as well.
@@jrgarza1964 Who cares who's fault it was, being great is sustained success for a period of time not having one good year. One of the greatest playoff runs, yes! One of the greatest teams, hell no!!
@thepatrioarchy What I remember was the Heat winning back to back championships, after the Mavericks team split... so yes one of the greatest teams... stop hating...
@jrgarza1964 We're talking about this game! You and others want to overhype Dallas to feel better about LBJ losing! What next, you're going to call JJ Berea the greatest point guard ever?! Again, Mavericks had a great playoff run, but they are not one of the greatest teams ever!
Man what an awesome series. I know nowitzki is an all time great but what an exceptional display by him in this series and this game in particular. The heat was probably the better team more likely to win but nowitzki just totally carried them to victory. Like ze boss
Most staisfying finals I've ever witnessed except for my Celtics' in 08. This Mavs team was incredible, full of energy, everyone wrote them off against the Heat but they gave them a real beating. Probably the best playoffs run ever of any NBA team!
I couldn't help but get a little choked up seeing all those vets get rings. The five Mavs on the floor in the final minutes were Dirk, Kidd, Chandler, Terry, and Marion. Plus Peja on the bench. Six guys who came so close so often finally reaching the basketball promised land. It doesn't get any better than that.

its so loud in the beginning and so quiet at the end

if he stayed in mavs, he would have probalby win with them.
+commanderPanda *won
+commanderPanda "probably"
they definitely wouldve won atleast 1 more
num1roxfan what
So beautiful I wanna cry just watching it
What a team this was. Loved Kidd, he was a bit old at this point but he was very good, then you had Jason Terry, AWESOME shooter, great form, and the great Dirk, along with Chandler and his defense. Very good team.
Happiest day of my life lol
same
Amen. Will never forget it
Man I know I can't be the only one who thinks the NBA finals should be on TNT
Totally agree.

Amandeep Sharma We need more shaqtin a fool
yea but it needs to be free for everyone to watch
I remember being a sophomore in college and watching this game at my friends house in the dog days of summer 2011. I'll never forget watching one of the games where the mavs were down by like 15 and I remember getting pissed and changing the channel. When I watched the ESPN highlights later that night I was blown away that they managed to come back and win that game! I'm glad Dirk managed to avenge the 2006 finals and win this one
I can't believe how mature and humble Dirk is. How can he be so cool after winning the finals against a team of Miami's calibre?? Oh mama there goes that man
Ah, 2011. What a great year that was! A special run for the Mavericks.
Most deserved Title in NBA history!
Jeff,Mark,and Mike are the best ever to call the game I be happy to hear them call the game in the finals they know basketball and know how to connect with each other
I miss this Mavericks team!! I was 10 years old when I watched this and I have never been more happier!!
Most satisfying game
yea because your a lebron hater lebron the best ok
+Jonathanflores Flores Yeah why can't it just be a satisfying game? Is it not satisfying when the underdog team wins? I'd say for most people it is.
Watching this series in 2024 as Mavs are back in the finals after 13 long years. I hope the storyline remains the same and Mavs win it now against a heavily favored Celtics team.
In LuKai we trust ❤
Gives me goosebumps even to this day. Best Summer of my life.
I'm so happy i witnessed the making of a legendary player & upset . #2011
This Ya 🐐 😂
LEBRON WILL NEVER BE THE GOAT
🤣
@ken drake Jordan > Lebron still so
i still remember watching dirk walk into the locker room on live tv while it was happening , im a celtics fan but i live in dallas so this was nice to see for dirk
Easily my favorite playoff series. Watched the mavs journey through every round until the finals and it was amazing to watch
Easily my favorite NBA Finals. Dirk and Kidd are legends getting their deserved ring. Chandler, Terry and Barea also top likeable players who also deserved it.
When Dirk and Jet hug...man that still gives me goosebumps.
That's years of fighting right there and finally earning it
as a die hard mavs fan since i was 4 years old, watching the mavs win the championship 2011 was the greatest memory ever! i was 16 when this happened and let me tell yall i was in tears!! i was crying my eyeballs out watching DIRK raise up the trophy! this man deserved it so much as well as the other team members. Dirk was absolutely extraordinary this season! I remember i celebrated all summer wearing a different mavs shirt everyday lol that whole school season i told every body mavs were taking it all nobody believed me :) i love that they proved the doubters wrong!
Ian Mahinmi making that shot at the buzzer of the 3rd summed up the whole Mavs postseason lol. What could go right, did. Great all around Team effort
Who's watching this after Dirk retirement?
R.I.P. Stuart Scott
As much as I wish the Heat won this series, this is still one of the greatest rings ever won. Sweeping through prime Kobe and Pau, the defending champions, gentleman sweeping prime KD and Russ, and finally dismantling the Big 3 Heat with prime Lebron, Wade, and Bosh to avenge the heartbreaking 2006 loss. Which was also, fittingly, won on the opposing team’s floor.
i just cant get tired of watching this,dirk was unstoppable and cluntch!!!
Easily one of the most legendary squads in the modern era
Sad to see dirk retire. What a legend!
Pacer fan here. That was the summer I was a Dallas fan for that series. Hell I think fans of every team not named the "Heat" was a Dallas fan. Well done Mavericks in taking down the evil empire. The force was strong in Dirk that series! From this Pacer fan to you guys, Thank You! 😀😀😀
Awesome! Still gives me chills. GO MAVS!
has anybody had such a hot shooting series like dirk? its like he could never miss a shot. The only person I know that can shoot like this is Kevin Durant
This was one of the Greatest Teams ever.. They swept the defending champion Lakers, beat OKC.. Then beat an Over powered team in the Miami Heat. Had three All stars and still lost.. one of the Greatest runs as well.
Sound like a LeBron fan! You can't be one of the greatest teams winning one chip!
@thepatrioarchy Yes they can... the team split up after that season, not their fault.
@@jrgarza1964 Who cares who's fault it was, being great is sustained success for a period of time not having one good year. One of the greatest playoff runs, yes! One of the greatest teams, hell no!!
@thepatrioarchy What I remember was the Heat winning back to back championships, after the Mavericks team split... so yes one of the greatest teams... stop hating...
@jrgarza1964 We're talking about this game! You and others want to overhype Dallas to feel better about LBJ losing! What next, you're going to call JJ Berea the greatest point guard ever?! Again, Mavericks had a great playoff run, but they are not one of the greatest teams ever!
Man what an awesome series. I know nowitzki is an all time great but what an exceptional display by him in this series and this game in particular. The heat was probably the better team more likely to win but nowitzki just totally carried them to victory. Like ze boss
Can't stop watching this,
Still got my championship snapback god i love my dallas teams so much
and they say lebron is the goat😂
Hell yeah. Jason Terry wasn't no bitch
Yeah right
Thanasis is the goat 😂😂😂
Most staisfying finals I've ever witnessed except for my Celtics' in 08. This Mavs team was incredible, full of energy, everyone wrote them off against the Heat but they gave them a real beating. Probably the best playoffs run ever of any NBA team!
I nearly cried watching this game in 2011. Its 2020 and I still feel the same. Best moment for Dirk and the Mavs.
