In hindsight, letting Tyson Chandler go was probably a mistake, IMO.
I still can't believe that 3 years ago today, my Mavs finally became champions. They were finally the best team and the last team standing in the NBA. Dirk was awesome. He played his guts out for that ring in 2011. I've never seen an NBA player want to win the championship as much as Dirk did in 2011. It wasn't just Dirk that wanted it. JET, Kidd, Chandler, Marion, Stevenson, Haywood, and everyone on the team wanted to ring. What made it even more awesome is that it was against the Heat. If you are a Mavs fan, you hate the Heat especially Wade. What Mavs nation went through in 2006 is something that no fans should ever have to experience. To have it just taken away from you because the fat jew boss wants a manufactured superstar is heartbreaking.
I was so nervous that day. I did not think it was over until probably the last minute. I just said to myself "the Heat are going to come back". Yet, they didn't do it. It's a shame that Mark Cuban took a shat on the team in 2011. Haters can say whatever they want but I still think if Cuban had brought back 90 percent of the team back, the Mavs would have made it back to the Finals.
Anyways, like Dirk said after game 6, "no one can ever take this away from us again".
On a side note, this is the last and only time Superfriend have been eliminated in the playoffs.
In hindsight, letting Tyson Chandler go was probably a mistake, IMO.
cuban basically chuck dirks legacy in the bin when he broke up that championship team
in other words his stock stop climbing on the all time list
u also forgot 3years ago today, dirk nearly married a conwomen who looked like a horse
He married a black goddess from Sweden. Get yo facts right.
black goddess from Sweden... not every with a Swedish name is a goddess, much less a black one tbh![]()
Meh they caught lightning in a bottle. The following would obliterate the '11 Mavs:
'12, '13, '14 Heatles
'12, '13, '14 Spurs
'12, '14 Thunder
interesting idea, but ima reserve judgement until i get some analysis from timvp, HH37, DPG, and Chinook tbh
if the cheat do g et carmelo, does that mean ur trophy beating the cheat team is worthless compared to the team that beat the groupie team?
Do some of you need some air fresheners? Dat butthurt stank.
coming from the guy who has been so butthurt for the past 3 years that he keeps harping on a championship that nobody cares about
No mention of Carlisle... I'm disappoint son... Guy proved he was the best coach in the league the last few years...
I'd rather remember 1 championship than no championships. Like I said, you go through something like 2006 and you never take anything for granted when it comes to your team again.
Josh Howard ing the Mavs in game 5 or 6 is best.
Called the last timeout in between the FTs and ruin the chance to in bound the ball from half court.
Tbh, players should not be allowed to call for timeout unless they are down on the floor scrabbling for the ball.
most gimmicky le ever, no building team, just signing oldies that were about to retire and otherwise didn't give a damn about them mavs..
Letting chandler to likely saved dirks legacy. No way the Mavs beat the heat the following years. The Mavs likely won't get out of the west the following years.
Now dirk sits comfortable above Garnett and right next to Kobe on the all time list.
at first I was skeptical when I read this, but after learning a little bit of Linux, I used Mavericks and 2012 le chances as my % input arguments and then probability as my output argument. Sure enough, after gathering up the results and using a few more sophisticated algorithms, it turns out that yes, indeed, the Mavericks chances of success in the 2012 season would have been greater if Mark Cuban kept Chandler on the roster
It won't be the only time soon.
Gotta tip my hat to '11mavs! well done!
Living proof that the nba isn't rigged.
Now Spurs gotta confirm it!
