Dirk Nowitzki’s 2011 championship run is widely considered one of the greatest playoff performances in NBA history. Leading the Dallas Mavericks to their first-ever NBA title, Dirk battled through an unbelievable gauntlet of Hall of Fame talent on the way to the championship. Dallas defeated LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers in Round 1, then swept the back-to-back defending champion Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Phil Jackson in his final Lakers season. Next came the young Oklahoma City Thunder featuring Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, before Dirk and the Mavericks shocked the heavily favored Miami Heat superteam of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh in the NBA Finals. Dirk averaged 26.0 points and 9.7 rebounds in the Finals, won Finals MVP, and delivered countless clutch moments, including a legendary Game 2 game-winner and multiple fourth-quarter takeovers. After years of playoff heartbreak, the 7-foot German superstar completed one of basketball’s greatest redemption stories, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest power forwards and international players the NBA has ever seen.
