Tim 2003 with LeBron 2012 a close second. Dirk 2011 is especially underrated.
Tim 2003
LeBron 2012
Tim 2005
Wade 2006 The whistles sucked but he was still very good.
Pierce 2008 then he turned into such a puss.
Billups 2004
Dirk 2011 meh more of a Miami choke then anything. Was excellent tho.
Tony 2007 inc.
Entertainment winners in WWE rigged years:
Pau 2010
Kobe 2009
Eh, Dirk WAS the Mavs offense in the same way Tim was the Spurs offense in 2003.
And getting to the Finals was harder for them than the Finals themselves. LeBron forgot he was the best player on the Heat in that series.
bron/wade both my nigs but me gotta be honest, 2011 dirk was the true god and was just unstoppable. their championship might be a fluke but its no doubt he was the best player overall of the series, dude deserves to have a ring before he retires imho
perhaps Dirk was the Mavs offense in the same way Tim was in 2003, but defense?
No comparison. Timmy Duncs getting it done on both ends of the court.
Of course. Combine Dirk and Chandler and you get 2003 TD in terms of two-way impact.
Totally deserved the 2009 FMVP, tbh. 40/8/8 in Game 1.![]()
at least tim got a HOF center to play alongside in 03, Dirk got nothing but dip s around him and still managed to do the upset almost single handedly imho. although its true that he played like in the last game, and they would've hardly won it w/o role players performing (JET, JJB, Findog etc...), they'd have never gone there in the first place but for dirk's performances in previous games and previous rounds tbh
duncan 03, dirk 11, and lebron 12, in that order.
Dirk
Findog? He was retired by then (surely you mean Marion/Stevenson)?
^ brian cardinal (Findog) not retired, he still on mavs roster imho
tbh I might move dirk 11 to #1 solely due to the compe ion in da nba finals...
Since Kobe is as great as Laker fan says he is, then Billups
He absolutely destroyed Kobie in 2004
lol Every time the Lakers win its rigged and when other teams win it's not.
Why state the obvious?![]()
If were talking strictly Finals performance, theres no reason why Dirk and his 40 FG% should be anywhere near the top. Its second only to 10' Kome as far as worse shooting goes IIRC.
Id go 03 Duncan, 12' James, and 06' Wade as my Top 3 tbh.
True though.
2000- Portland game 7 officials rig
2002- Game 6 nuff said
2009- Kobe elbows Nelson, no call
2010- Game 7 FT differential
I'll give you 2001 though. Gotta be happy for Kobe's 1 legit le- wait that was Shaq's lol

6-10 can be debatable and they were all pretty average.
Tim & Lebron are even but 5-10 years down the line, Tim's will stand out.
Dirk '11 I feel. Did it all him self really. Didn't see Duncan in 03 to judge though
Outside of Dirk, who else did the Mavs have besides a bunch of role players? Marion, DeShawn, TC, Peja, Kidd all couldn't create their own shot. They needed someone to set them up. Only Dirk, Terry (3rd option at best), and Barea (crofl) could create a shot and that team managed to take down a team with 2 superstars and an all star.
Yeah Dirk shot bad that percentage because he was constantly being double and even triple teamed. No one around him could make open shots for the first 3 games before those open shots started to fall. He had the game winner in Game 2 after scoring like the last 7 or so points. He was clutch as in Game 3 but fell short on the last possession.
