Kobe, who was already riddled with a bunch of injuries, added an ankle sprain to that large list right before the playoffs. The team chemistry was awful at the end of the year as they kept going on losing streaks, losing even to terrible teams.
If you remember, they didn't play all that well in the series vs New Orleans. I'm a Mavs fan and to me, we caught them at the best time. They were seriously playing on fumes. They went to three straight finals. Their legs were done. Dallas killed them on the perimeter all series long.
@@johansencontreras2186if you can't tell the difference between this and today nba n and how they load managing and not playing defense it's trash someone on the pistons came off the bench and put up 50
You know the play before Kidd is guarding him, Terry leaves Fisher to double, and Kobe still is able to get to the rim, where he was met by Tyson Chandler, if he does the Kobe Bryant play instead of the LeBron I think they win this game
Thats the turning point of that whole series. If that ball did go in, Lakers would have that momentum and confidence they needed badly during that series. They could drag that series to game 7 and win or lose. That was anybody's series if that ball went in, too bad it didnt and the broom did its work.
Loved this Mavs team and this run for Dirk. He'd been one of my favorite players in the league since 2001. Maybe the prettiest fade away I've seen (that includes Jordan and LeBron). I remember Kobe missing the game winner in this game, but didn't realize he had 1 or 2 turnovers in the final possessions also.
The most impressive feat about this Mavs team is sweeping the defending champs Lakers. Once they swept the Lakers I know the Mavs are going to beat anyone in their playoff run.
I thought so too. I was concerned before they faced the Lakers, the two time defending champs but by the time they went 3-0 I knew then and there they were making the finals and boy they didn’t just reach but win it all🔥
The NBA actually made a change this series! It no longer matter about having dominant post up big men. If you had a legit scorer as well exceptional role players you were contending. Kobe needed a Jamal Crawford or jr smith type player who could get buckets with that second unit when he was on the bench.
One of the key differences and huge discrepancies in this series was the 3-point shooting. You saw Kobe hot that 3-pointer early in Game 1. That was probably the only time in the series in which LA made more 3s than Dallas.
Pau gasol stated his mind was not in this series because of allegations of Shannon Brown sleeping with his wife around this time in the Lakers used all the energy trying to get the number one seed they went on a 18-1 tear after All Star break people don't remember the Lakers blew the Mavericks out just before the playoffs started the Spurs and other heavy hitters in the West
They we're tired for playing almost 3 years straight because of playing in the finals with a tough competition especially in the playoffs and the lakers also didn't acquire younger talent that can fit and help kobe play because his the main guy of the purple and gold
I knew I heard something about that. Ironic I still think missing Ron artest for that third game effected us defensively. Having Lamar start made us lose depth off the bench. As is Blake and the “killer b’s” was having a bad series
Dirk is my ultimate favorite but I also love Kobe. These two superstars were extremely talented and the best of their eras and respective franchises. Not to mention their extreme loyalty. That's why they are loved all around the league. Talented, loyal, and humble superstars. No drama, just pure basketball and doesn't need to form a superteam to win. I miss watching them competing against each other. Thanks for this video. More power.
Extreme loyalty? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! kobe held the lakers team hostage TWICE. First to get rid of Shaq or he wasn't gonna resign. Then when he demanded a trade. Kobe worshippers are the worst.
By 2011 Kobe had made DEEP Playoff runs the last 3 years. The Lakers were out of gas after winning the last two in a row. Something Lebron would never know.
I would say wade and bosh would've smacked kobe in 2011. Lebron canonically cracks under the pressure, but yeah, LA wouldn't be winning that one. If anything, they mightve struggled to make it past OKC too. 2009 was honestly our best chance. Wasn't meant to be 😭
This 2011 Lakers team was not the same team from 2010. Their bench was shit this season and would allow teams to close the deficit late in games. Mitch Cupcake had traded away valuable components to their bench like Jordan Farmar, Sasha vujacic, BJ Mbenga, and Josh Powell. You add Shannon Brown into that mix and you have a solid bench being led by Lamar Odom. Steve Blake was inconsistent and a down grade from Jordan Farmar in my opinion. The 2011 Lakers bench was shit, had they kept the same squad that already had chemistry they would have raped this Mavs team.

The 2010 Lakers wouldn't have allowed such to happen. Mind you this same 2011 Lakers team had the dominating seasonal record over both the OKC and the Mavs for the regular season.

@@chironjo Kobe was one of my favorite players but I have to be honest he chocked here the turnover was more devastating than the miss shot which was devastating in of itself to the Lakers chances of winning the series and unfortunately they got swept. With that being said I think even Kobe would admit that this was not one of his better performances.
@@mohammedalam5640 The last couple possesions yeah he would but not the game.
Robbery
Mavs cheated that game from the lakers
Kobe got swept
Also ended Phil Jackson's coaching career, and it was the only time a Jackson coached team had ever been swept. 😊
Cant help but think if kobe hit that game winner we 3 peat.. oh well no harm in letting dirk get 1 he an all time great deserved it.. rip bean
Nope the heat will smack team😂
Mavs Vs heat 4-2
Mavs Vs Lakers 4-0
😂😂 So shut up..😂😂😂
@@napabao7674 lool so i guess the t wolves were better then lakers this year cuz they got 1 vs nuggets and we got swept lool ur a dumbass
Lol. No. The Mavs steamrolled them for a reason. 😂
@@imdbtruth ur acting like if lakers didnt win game 1 the momentum of the whole series wouldnt have been diffrent
@kobedagoat6395 LOL. Dallas whipped their asses. Nothing was going to change. Mavs lost game 1 to the Heat, but that just prolonged the inevitable.
