You know what makes this so goddamn sweet?
The year the Spurs, the Celtics and the Lakers get put down, and the media and the nation are ready to hand it to the Heat, the Bulls and the Thunder... the forgotten boys, the never beens, the almost had its, the MAVERICKS come up.
The year people are looking for the next icon: Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, LeBron James... and ready to put this old generation to rest. People are ready to take TD out to the pasture, KG is one good game and dead the next and everybody, even Laker fans, are acknowledging Kobe has no lift... Dirk averages 11 points in the 4th quarter and is the Finals MVP.
This German is LEGEND. He has talent and skill and size, yes, but his heart and work ethic. Unstoppable.
YOU'RE A FREAKY FREAK, DIRK.

Dirk Dirk Dirk ...
What can one say but simply, DIRK.
Congrats and a HUGE thank you from all Mavericks fans.

About 13 years ago, I was pretty mad at Dirk for leaving Germany after he and his Würzburg team won the 2. Bundesliga title, promoting the club to the 1. Bundesliga (top german basketball league). Would've loved to see the man play against my team (ironically, we had LeBrons former Akron teammates Dru Joyce and Romeo Travis on our roster two years ago).
I would've loved to see that. But hell, he's way too good for this. 2011 Dirk was far better than 2006 Dirk. He's developed some really nice inside game, some decent post moves...and I was like "WTF, the man can play in the paint like this...holy sh.t!".
Just WOW! What a run...what a career....

Dirk has said for years that he's accomplished everything else in this league and has money, and all that's left for him was winning a championship. Now he's accomplished his dream, winning the championship for the city of Dallas and also winning the Finals MVP award.
Is there anything else left for him? Breaking scoring records maybe? Or are there no other challenges left out there? You think perhaps he set a new goal to win multiple championships now?
Are there any more major accomplishments we can look forward to him reaching in the upcoming years?

I love that we wear all black to close out games because all black is what you wear to a funeral.
Most badass team ever.

from now on, that's my ritual when the mavs play in a closeout playoff game. in fact, if it's a home game, we should have a "blackout" and they should give out black mavs shirts, lol

Don't worry. He's a competitor and he'll sure as hell go for a repeat. Cuz doing it twice is that much better than doing it once. And he's in his prime. Biggest problem is that this team is pretty old and needs some fresh blood added to the roster.

Dirk Nowitzki DETHRONES LeBron in Cleveland Beef
http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/13/dirk-n...ck-miami-heat/
Quote:
Talk about adding insult to injury -- a day after LeBron James' dreams were dashed to pieces, one of the biggest delis in Cleveland renamed its famous "King" sandwich ... after Mavs star Dirk Nowitzki.
TMZ spoke with Earl Stein -- the co-owner of Corky and Lenny's in Cleveland -- and he tells us, the deli redubbed the $10.50 sandwich in honor of Dallas' victory over Miami Sunday night.
What was once the "King Size Corned Beef Sandwich" is now the "The Dirk Nowitzki Corned Beef Sandwich."
We haven't tasted it ourselves -- but it looks delicious ... and probably goes real well with an ice cold can of spite.

....and Dirk had the last laugh. Dirk's championship will be the "freshest".
And what makes it even more impressive ?
This:
Some of them will become HOF's and all time greats. And Dirk beat em all.
Duncan faced NJN and CLE in the finals. Just to put it into perspective.

NBA on ESPN asked on Facebook if Dirk is a Top 10 all time great. Seems like there are many haters who think hes not even Top 100...
I would say hes not Top 10, but Top 20 for sure!

Look at what the the man has done and just ponder on it. He's a top 10.

I love Dirk more than anyone...but he isn't Top 10...YET. Another ring and a few more All-NBA seasons, and he has a real argument. However, he definitely is Top 25 now, and I'd argue Top 15 myself.
I laugh when clueless asshats like Wilbon are like "you can't throw him as better than guys like McHale" lmao.
McHale isn't even in the discussion! McHale had a great prime, but it was incredibly short. McHale doesn't touch TD-Dirk-Barkley-Malone-KG.

Pretty much this.
Dirk is probably top 20 right now and will be top 15 with 3-4 more years of solid numbers in the regular season and the playoffs. He needs to start moving up the statistic lists, if he can't win another ring.
edit: "omg I just typed ANOTHER ring. That felt amazing".

Someone needs to tell Mr. Curvature that the hypothetical ("woulda") matchup is unnecessary.
Dirk - 1
Karl Malone - 0

The arguments will get really interesting if Dirk keeps this up for a few more years. He has a realistic shot at of being in the top 5 all-time in scoring, and reaching 30,000 career points. I guess doing that didn't really help Karl Malone, but it would be a lot harder to ignore now that Dirk has a ring (you're right that does feel awesome to type ). If Dirk got another ring, his profile would be a lot like Hakeem's: really good for a long time, and 2 rings playing with a bunch of role players (assuming Dallas doesn't pick up another star).
