      @notgumbo 6 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      Arthur Glover can people please stop talking about 1994 Hakeem. This was a Jordan-less year and years. If Jordan was playing they woulda swept their asses easily. I know that they were very impressive in the west in 1994 and that is impressive but they should’ve never won those two NBA championships. Did I mention that they played a Magic team that had chemistry issues and are cursed, had an amazing year the other year and played a Knicks team that was not that good and still almost lost. The mavs clearly had a better conpetition than the lowly 1994 bulls. Try beating LaMarcus Aldridge, Gerald Wallace and a still amazing Brandon Roy who was heroic in this series in the first round when you have been struggling to get past it, a Kobe, Lamar O, Pau, good Bynum and good Artest that won the championship the other year and SWEEP them, beat a younger, hungrier and more athletic team in the Thunder with Harden, KD, a monstrous Serge Ibaka and Westbrook. And lastly go to the Finals and play against LeBron James in his PRIME, Dwyane Wade in his late PRIME, Chris Bosh who was a very helpful player who was technically a star player. Not only do u win but you shut down the King who was desperate for a championship since moving to Miami. The point I am trying to make here is that, well, sure the Mavs had a great system and players in it and probably even better than the Rockets had, but you see the difference is that the Mavs had to face the King and KOBE when they were out of their minds. Rockets, I’ll give it to ya that you played against Mailman and John Stockton, but those were the kind of getting ready seasons for the Jazz, the Suns who are the suns of course find a way to lose but probably the best team they faced, and the spurs who were an interesting team but they were disadvantaged because of the three point shooting the Rockets brought to the table and then they play against a trash eastern team the Knicks instead of the Bulls. The Mavs run was better than the 1994 rockets or whatever year it was when they were a 6 seed period.

    Dirk is one of the most humble and respectful guys in the league. I don't like the Mavs but if I was a player I would have considered playing for them due to his unwavering and respectful character. It's sad though that the Mavs wasted so many years of his prime and now are tanking. Dirk can still give you 20 and clutch 3s. Mavs need to do something to bring in superstars rather then doing the 76ers draft bs. Dirk deserves better, he could have went elsewhere and had 3 titles by now.

    • @ThatsPety
      @ThatsPety 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      76ers draft BS? UUUUMM they look like serious threats rn and that's with Fultz hurt and they have a bunch of young talent to terrorize the league for years to come. That "BS" worked out beautifully, and it makes sense for Dallas to do the same since they were losing a bunch anyways to start the season

    • @DJSkandalous
      @DJSkandalous 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Pety sixers are good now because they tanked for five straight years man. Would you want to waste five years on a tanking team? I don't blame the sixers, you weren't getting anywhere in the East without a superstar because of LeBron. But Dallas always had Dirk as their star. They just couldn't land anyone else since 2011. Barnes or Parsons? Lol no thanks

    • @ThatsPety
      @ThatsPety 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      DJ Skandalous they weren't good earlier because of injuries. Both Embiid and Simmons, the 2 leaders of the team, dealt with major injuries that held the team back.
      By next year Dallas'll have veteran guidance in Barnes, Dirk, Matthews, etc, and young rising talent in DSJ, Powell, and whoever they grab HIGH in next year's draft. They're in good shape to give Dirk a good final season

    • @DJSkandalous
      @DJSkandalous 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pety true but sixers dragged injured players most likely just to tank again. That was probably the case with Noel and Embiid. Sure Embiid was the best available at the time of the selection though. But twice in a row they draft injured people that missed the first whole year can't be a coincidence lol. Paid off WITH embiid though. Happy for the dude. Glad he isn't another Greg Oden.

      We shouldn't count Harden or Griffin's cases for 'loyalty.' It doesn't matter if they are loyal to their team now - the fact that they have been traded to their respective teams more than proves how loyalty is out and forgotten in the NBA.
      As for Kawhi? I don't know... we have to wait and see. Who knows, maybe he'll leave, too. After all, crazier things have happened before.

    As a Spurs fan, I respect the hell out of Nowitzki. He used to be "soft" even during his MVP season. But in 2011 playoffs, he was a monster and unstoppable in all rounds. Aside from beating all the contenders on their way to the championship, heck even sweeping the Lakers in the 2nd round, I remember that they also swept some of the best teams at that time in the regular season like Boston, Orlando and Chicago with MVP Derrick Rose, if I'm not mistaken. I'm just happy for Dirk to finally win his due championship that was so evasive from him for so long. 2011 was indeed his coming out party.

    • @MisterFuturtastic
      @MisterFuturtastic 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Mason Hamilton KG literally had no help though, at least until he got Cassell which isn't even star level. You say Kg is overrated but did you even watch the Nba in the early 2000's? KG was a beast, one of the best defenders and toughest player. He would challenge anybody to a 1on1 and beat them. He was the defensive anchor in Boston and without him they wouldn't get past the first round honestly. That's how much value his defense alone brings to the team. Without a doubt he was the Celtics' enforcer, leader, and best defender. Youre trippin od, KG is one of the players to set the athletic freak big men who play inside out trend. Players like AD, Towns and Boogie learned from KG.

That's mind-blogging when you think about the level of loyalty & durability & ability you have to possess over two decades to achieve that. It's one record that'll never be broken.

      But if dirk averages about 15 points a game In his last season. He will pass jordan in alltime points so that would put him at #5. Farfetched but I think it could happen. Not to mention if they make it to the first round of the play offs. Dirk will pass jordan but lebron will pass dirk.

    I'll never forget Dirk as a player and the 2011 Playoff run. That was a once in a life-time underdog story we may never see again. No one, including even most Dallas fans, thought the Mavs could defeat the big three on the Miami Heat. This was the genesis year for super teams when Lebron, D Wayde, and Chris Bosh teamed up. That final series was breathtaking. People were always on the edge of their seats. When Dirk realized they had won, he walked outside the court area to collect his emotions. A player that takes pay cuts, sticks and stays loyal to one team, is so rare these days. GG Dirk. Well Played

      KG was missing a bit of killer instinct, though, as a closer. When you look at the 2008 Finals run, when the pressure was at its highest, KG was looking to pass to Pierce and Allen. Duncan was the man in his second season, and led his team to the title. But as far as all-around stats go, KG was better at filling the box score.
      But as you say, if he played in a better culture, maybe he would've developed that killer instinct.

      That is not entirely accurate, the Mavs had one big expert supporter by the name of Chuck aka Charles Barkley.

    • @Damianoutlaw

      Charles Barkley was my favorite player of the 1990's. Barkley would have been the best power forward of all time if he took his conditioning seriously. Its why he never won a title.
      Dirk beat all the other top competitors in the playoffs like Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Kobe, Lebron, Durant, Harden....etc.
      Barkley never beat Olajuwon or Jordan in the playoffs. Dirk was better than Barkley.

    • @Damianoutlaw

      That is a classic straw-man argument. Dirk passed Barkley a long time ago.

    My Favorite player all time, the reason that im a Dallas fan since 2000, a humble, charismatic guy who cares more about character than money or fame. Everything about him is special, even the fact that he got scam by a gold digger for love show the type of person he is... lovable, innocent and yet so much passion for the sport that makes every game important for the fan, the league gained so much because of him, you can count in your hand the amount of people who actually impact the game that much, a family man that made the mavs a crucial part of his own family... I live in Brazil, i watch the NBA since 99 and every time he did something it was like all my interest in the NBA was gravitating towards him, on today's NBA is more like passion for the money and not passion for the game, few had so much passion to the point of carrying the weight of losing in 2006 until 2011 like him, its sound silly, but that weight got out of my shoulders to, i was cheering for him every minute of every game for half a decade. and im proud to say that my idols molded my character... I was 22 when he won the championship and my father ask me why a grow as man like me was crying watching a game of basketball, the reason was simple, hard work, dedication and loyalty paid of, and i was happy for him. Days later people started to say that when he run out of the tunnel in the last game, he got to the looker-room to cry, i guess we cried at the same time then :)

      That is not true. 13 out of 18 ESPN Writers picked the Mavs to beat OKC in the 2011 Western Conference Finals

      Damian Outlaw i remember the show with Michael wilbon Magic Johnson and two other Guy they use to do also the halftime show. Only one of four picked the mavs. Maybe the smart one picked them but we got no love on tv.

      I understand all of that. People were picking against the Mavs all post season...including the series against Portland.
      All Im stating is that it is incorrect to say the Mavs were not favored against OKC. They were huge underdogs to the Lakers and slight underdogs to the Heat.
      They were favored to beat Portland and OKC.

    That’s how you call loyal to a team right there. Taking a 72 million dollar pay cut to a team that was only just him.

    Dirk is a savage, one of the best to ever do it. Definitely one of my favorite players. a true class act. But that 2011 Mavs team was a super team in their own right. They had Dirk, Jason Terry, Jason Kidd, Tyson Chandler, Shawn Marion, Caron Butler, Stojakavic, Jose Barea aka the Puerto Rican Allen Iverson, Corey Brewer, Brendon Heyward, Deshawn Stevenson. That team was so stacked they had to blow it up the next season cause they couldn't pay all of them.

    In the 10-11 season, Dirk had a bunch of help from Jason Terry and Shawn Marion and Tyson Chandler and Jason Kidd was still amazing not to mention Caron Butler, Peja Stojakovic, JJ Barea, and Rodrigue Beaubois. Dirk had great role players and super experienced veterans to work with

    It was 2005. European Championship finals in Belgrade, Serbia. Serbia was the host, everyone expected gold medal, but the team played like crap and had an early exit. In the finals it was Germany vs Greece, and near the end Greece had a big lead and it was pretty obvious that they will win it. So 3 or so minutes to the end Dirk gets subbed and goes of the floor and all the people in the arena stood up and gave a legend a standing ovation for a couple of minutes. And there is no more perfect world to describe Dirk Nowitzki than a legend. And that crowd is nasty btw.
