Dirk, Kidd, Jet, Marion after winning their first NBA Championship.
words // Nick Engvall
The Dallas Mavericks added NBA Championship to their franchise history, while the Miami Heat added more questions to their choice of bringing the “Big 3” of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh together.
The Mavs, behind Jason Terry’s 27 points, defeated the Miami Heat in Game 6 105-95. Dirk Nowitzki struggled early but came back in the fourth quarter, like he has nearly every game, and finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Nowitzki was awarded the Finals MVP award but it was his supporting cast that gave the Mavericks the victory, Shawn Marion, Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler, Ian Mahinmi, J.J. Barea and DeShawn Stevenson all had steals in a defensive effort that essentially stifled the Miami Heat.
For the Heat, the critics will have more fire power in their questioning of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for making such a big deal of their choice to play in Miami. LeBron finished with 21 points, Bosh had 19 and Wade finished with 17 in the loss.

I’m a NOWITZness !!! Dirk, Terry, Kidd, Barea, Marion, Stevenson, and all of the Mavs truly deserves the trophy. GOOD BYE LAKERS! MAVS will lead the New Era of Basketball!
Big time win for the Mavs org. The good guys won.
the Heat just looked sad on that court…
HOW DOES MY DIRK TASTE!!!
this game, like every other, is all about making the right adjustment¬s in the right times. Mav coach made it happen. Spo failed.
Spo really can’t coach this option. You’ll need a Larry Brown, Pat Riley, John Thompson. You’ll need someone with some real b-ball credit. Doc Rivers, Mo Cheeks. They dissed Spo a lot throughout the season. He never had that total respect out of them.
Congrats to the Best team in the 2010-2011 season. But what was the deal with Deshaun Stevenson getting arrested that is not the way a champion should be reacting after accomplishing so much. that is just a knockdown to the rest of the team in my eyes. What do you all think. I know he will be traded next year for this incident.
