so..... It's the offseason - thought this was an intersting take.
you have to go thru the "slide show" (page click ad revenue booster) to see what they say about all 10, but I posted what they said about our Mavs.

If ever there was a Cinderella story among the NBA's champions, it'd have to be that of the 2010-11 Mavericks.
To say that Dallas flew under the radar that year is like describing the end of the battle between the Mountain and the Viper as merely unpleasant. It was all too easy to forget about the Mavs amidst the shuffle of intriguing storylines around the league back then, between the inaugural march of the Heat's Big 3, the Lakers' push for a three-peat, Derrick Rose's rise to league MVP status, the Celtics' attempt to prop open their window of contention, the Oklahoma City Thunder coming into their own and, of course, the Spurs returning to the top of the West.
The stage was all but set for Kobe Bryant and LeBron James to go toe-to-toe in the postseason for the first time, or for Phil Jackson to retire after a rematch of the 1991 Finals, with the Zen Master switching sides.
But the Mavs had other ideas. With Dirk Nowitzki leading the charge, Dallas swept the two-time defending champion Lakers, made relatively quick work of OKC in the Western Conference Finals and won three games in a row against Miami to clinch the franchise's first championship in six games. Naturally, Nowitzki was named MVP of the Finals, though J.J. Barea's pesky play as a starter and Jason Terry's superb shooting off the bench had plenty to do with the result as well.
