Earlier in the 2011 NBA Playoffs, Dallas defeated Los Angeles by sweeping the two time defending NBA Champions. Prior to the 2011 NBA Finals may experts didn't believe Dallas had a chance to defeat James, Wade, Bosh and the Miami Heat. Miami in year one was supposed to win the NBA championship, the Heat even captured Game 1 vs. Dallas. Miami seemed to be heading to Dallas up 2-0, however the Mavericks stormed back to win Game 2 after down by double digits in the 4Th quarter. The momentum in the series, clearly changed after Game 2. Miami would eventually become the scene of a Game 6 Dallas victory led by Jason Terry who shot lights out when Nowitzki struggled from the field. Dirk won 2011 NBA Finals MVP, because he was spectator overall in the series. He also made up for the 2006 NBA Finals loss vs. Miami when the Heat won 4-2, after trailing 2-0. Now fellow veterans Kidd, Marion, Terry, Chandler among others finally have the championship they long desired. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is also a world champion.
