Dirk's run to the NBA title is still astonishing to me

I know this is a bit random but just looking at the talent in this league and that fact that he carried that Mavs team (yes he had some timely help and hot shooting from Terry) to a world title beating lakers, thunder, AND heat has still got to be one of the greatest runs ever.

It was one of the best runs ever...it was his time and all of his opponents knew it...incredible how he pulled out game 2 in the finals, then game 4, 5 and 6.

He was incredible but it wouldn't have happened without Chandler.

It really is amazing. Definitely got lucky in that he had Chandler and all of the teams they got through had below average center play at the time.

The whole Mavs Cinderella narrative is a myth.

The Mavs were a dominant 55-18 that year when Dirk played. They were an elite team.

The Mavs were really good that year.

They were the best team in the NBA for a few stretches in the regular season, when Dirk and Chandler were healthy. And they were the best team in the playoffs.

they also happened to catch the Lakers when they weren't THE Lakers, Thunder when they weren't THE Thunder, and Heat before they were THE Heat

It was amazing. He put that team on his shoulders and would not be denied that year. Dirks was as good a playoff run by an individual player that we have seen.

Lakers, Thunder and Heat. BOOM.
