@PlayoffKaden 2011 existed. Where he only avgd 17PPG for an entire Finals, worst by a 2 time MVP ever and got worked by Dirk on a worse team. So after 2016 your back to 0
@Drakepats10@iztok_franko Not until the Finals. They weren’t calling him that as he beat down SGA and #1 OKC and beat down ANT and #3 Minn and hit the iconic stepback on Gobert to get to Finals! WCF MVP. He put up historic numbers and Mavs exceeded expectations that year even on a hurt knee
@GalacticRebirth@MatejSportinfo Mavs were picked to be a play in team and WAY exceeded their expectations in playoffs as well. Everyone picked OKC and Minn to beat em down
@GalacticRebirth@MatejSportinfo Yeah but again one sided. Luka also beat #1 SGA and OKC, beat #3 Minn while putting up historic numbers! Why no talk of exceeding expectations and being one of the best young players before putting that stat up! Celtics were favorites from beginning of year!!
@driveboylaflare@MrMasonAgain Lukas run through West in 2024 was alot tougher than Brons run through East in 07. The Celtics team he faced in Finals was #1 offensive team in history of league too, on same level or better than Spurs team that year as well
@driveboylaflare@MrMasonAgain 5 of top 6 best teas in 2007 were all in the West man. Dallas, SA, PHX and Utah and Hou all were probably better than Cavs and Pistons. That Finals was one of worst ever. Games werent even close man. SA smoked them so easily. Tony Parker was Finals MVP
@JamesBeaver01@KirkSeriousFace Yeah Cuban would’ve never traded a Dirk or Luka BUT he also never gave those dudes the best chances either. He was pretty mid himself honestly.
@JamesBeaver01@KirkSeriousFace Yep. And the draft Giannis fell, weren’t our scouts and FO preferring Freak and Cuban overruled and said “naw were taking Barry Larkins kid” because we needed a PG?
@iztok_franko@Hero_OfThe_Day NBA had to do something to try and diminish and tarnish the guy some before they traded him to LA. I truely believe its all correlated in some way
@JamesBeaver01@KirkSeriousFace Yeah, no its 3 for sure! I was saying 2 as in Nash and Brunson literally were let walk in FA and Mavs didnt get a dime for either!!!! Luka trade was absolute worst return of all time and basically nothing but Nash and Brunson -PHX and NY signed them away for free! Insanity
@KSC_318 Ugh check the playoffs my man. Dirk 25 and 10 for his playoff career. Best Finals run ever and Finals MVP. KG got those kinda elite numbers in playoffs?? KG got a Finals MVP? Nope! Dirk gave him the business everytime they played too and undefeated against him in playoffs
@collinsworth55 They also let Nash walk for free in 2004!! Then he became a 2 Time MVP in PHX. 3 generational, HOF PGs fumbled man. 2 w 0 return, Luka in worst trade of all time! Cant make it up
