In the NBA of 2011 … The often unfair history owed a league to the Dallas Mavericks. They did not leave as favorites. In the East, the ambitious project of the Heat, with James, Wade and Bosh at the head, the old rockers of Celtics or the booming Bulls of the MVP Rose who were leaders of the regular and in the West the current champions Lakers or the surprising Spurs that during some phases of the competition proved invincible
But the story owed him a league, and in 2011 the Dallas Mavericks took it. 2-4 in the final against Miami Heat who will have to wait another year to consolidate their project. Dirk Nowitzki can now be calm, champion and MVP of the NBA finals.
