In 2006, the Miami Heat defeated the Dallas Mavericks in six games. In 2011, the Mavericks returned the favor by winning the final three games of the Finals and capturing the franchise’s first ever NBA Championship. Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, and the rest of the Mavericks were all smiles, while a deflated Big Three were reduced to expressions of disappointment and tears. Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki struggled for the first half of the game, only to have his slack picked up by Jason Terry and Jose Juan Barea. Dirk eventually righted his target scope for the second half, hitting clutch buckets when they mattered the most. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, who spoke of multiple championships before the season started, entered Game 6 refreshed and ready for action. The Big Three started off strong, but in the second half, LeBron’s passivity on both ends and Wade’s recklessness made it tough for the Heat to keep up with Dallas’ high-percentage scoring. In the end, Mark Cuban and the Mavericks have plenty to celebrate, and the Heat have a long off-season to mull things over. The 2011 NBA Finals is a wrap, so check out the Game 6 recap below! via Yahoo!

Dallas' composure won it for them
June 13th, 2011 at 12:15 am
people throwing or selling their south beach lebrons for 100 legit……
June 13th, 2011 at 12:22 am
Congrats Dirk, Kidd and Jet Terry. 3 dudes that deserved and worked hard their entire career to win a ring the right way.
June 13th, 2011 at 12:26 am
Dallas deserved it this year
June 13th, 2011 at 12:33 am
Can we please stop this talk about Lebron being better then Air Jordan or even the greatest of all time. Dude never stepped it up the whole series and was non existent in the 4 quarter.
June 13th, 2011 at 12:34 am
MJ 6, LBJ 0
June 13th, 2011 at 12:37 am
dalls brought there talents to south beach!
June 13th, 2011 at 12:53 am
Finally Dirk got a championship he deserve it!
June 13th, 2011 at 12:54 am
I hate DALLAS!! Godammit I will burn Dirk's jersey. He is faker man, pretend he is sick?? Come on don't fool us…. Only European kids will believe you.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:22 am
…..
June 13th, 2011 at 1:26 am
Lebron wont hear end of this series performance. Dallas really showed their asses and deserved the title.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:47 am
cavs fan? ur just mad ur team is goin to have another 6 win season
June 13th, 2011 at 2:44 am
for some reason i like wade p.e.'s super simple.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:49 am
The LeBron vs. MJ arguments ended at the end of Game 6. LeBron was incredibly guardable and way too passive – two things Michael never was during his six championships.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:13 am
I've always been a Heat fan and always will be, but the Mavs put up a hell of a game. Congratulations.
June 13th, 2011 at 3:17 am
I see PEAK will come out a 2011 ring shoes for Jason Kidd while the king and flash got none from NIKE….. Sad
June 13th, 2011 at 4:34 am
Yeah, LeBron usually chokes during late playoff series.
June 13th, 2011 at 5:59 am
I think the arguments stopped before that. Like, when Bron went to Miami. Jordan never lost in the finals also, James 0-2.

Im a Heat Fan, but what can we say, they deserve it. congrats Mavs.
Who wants to see Stoudemire and Melo next yr? haha.
June 13th, 2011 at 6:27 am
dude asked lebron change for a dollar and lebron gave him 75 cents lebron said sorry i dont have a 4th quarter!
June 13th, 2011 at 6:59 am
Gary Payton can't clown J-Kidd any more
#TownBizness
June 13th, 2011 at 7:11 am
Why should you never ask to borrow a dollar from Lebron?
Cuz he'll never give you the fourth quarter.
June 13th, 2011 at 8:50 am
And I'm guessing you're one of the dick riders who thinks Lebron is better then MJ huh? If anyone deserved it it's Dirk so gtfo of here
June 13th, 2011 at 8:57 am
LeBUM!
June 13th, 2011 at 9:09 am
those are not PEs
June 13th, 2011 at 9:11 am
he was actually sick so gtfoh with that
June 13th, 2011 at 9:17 am
well im a Cavs fan, and i think we have a reason to be pissed, going from having the best team in the league to the worst is disappointing. and we all respect Brons decision to leave, just not the way he did it. period.
June 13th, 2011 at 9:30 am
J.j Barea? He Put in Work To.
June 13th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Dont understand y every one is hating on lebron. He definately wouldnt have made it this far if he was still playing in cleveland. Wouldnt have even made it past the second round in cleveland. Whats funny is the cavs owner tweetin about lebron when he should be worried about his team, the worst team in the nba. That being said glad dallas won cause i got a throwback jason terry atlanta haek jersry that will sell for alot more money now!!
June 13th, 2011 at 10:24 am
Heard the the Nike LeBron 8 V/4 is a pair of house slippers.
June 13th, 2011 at 10:26 am
Absolutely, as did the Matrix, Tyson, Stevenson…
The supporting cast were superb in they're effort to win the championship.
June 13th, 2011 at 10:40 am
"Heat" is like an a HEAT.. coZ of dallas,,,, the champ….
June 13th, 2011 at 10:46 am
Thats for Lebron and Wade makin fun of Dirk
June 13th, 2011 at 11:16 am
1ST AND LAST CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE MAVS
June 13th, 2011 at 11:17 am
WHY ARE PPL SO PISSED ABOUT THE DECISION?? NOBODY MENTIONS THE FACT THAT ALL THAT MONEY WENT TO A MUCH NEEDED CHARITY SMH
June 13th, 2011 at 11:20 am
HE'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLAYER. 30 YRS FROM NOW PPL WILL BE COMPARED TO LBJ. DIRK IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PLAYER FROM BIRD BUT THAT'S JUST WHO THEY COMPARE HIM TO. STOP FEEDING INTO THE MEDIA HYPE AND FORM YOUR OWN OPINIONS SMH
June 13th, 2011 at 11:24 am
ive never seen people hate one man SO much lmao
June 13th, 2011 at 11:42 am
Nope, I am a Celtics fan till i die!!!! But i am true LeBUM hater. He has no clue or concept of team nor does he have the heart of a champion, to keep fighting till the very end. That is why he is not a champion.
June 13th, 2011 at 11:51 am
Kobe 5 LeBron 000000
June 13th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
"we all respect lebrons decision"? not buying that… lets see how he could have done it. we could all hear about it on espn and go on with our day or we could see one hour show (it wasn't even an hour before you found out) and raise $2,000,000 for the kids. really? you would rather not raise that money for kids, i mean nobody had to watch the show you would find out instantly on espn right after so whats the big deal? its because its Lebron thats why we are hating. Dirk is a great player got the Peyton Manning kind of likeability, i'm a fan of his Jason Kidd, Peja and Chandler. But we grilled Lebron for walking out at the end of the game with no handshakes that's what Dirk did. Headed straight for the locker room. Regardless of what sick comments were made you should shake hands and allow a congratulations/kinds words. Lets not over analyze everything Lebron and hate on it and not do the same to other players who do it too. Stop talking about Jordan vs Lebron they are different players, different eras, different team player formulas (Cleveland/Miami), Jordan got more polished in college Lebron made the jump straight into the pros. No reason to defend Lebrons Finals performance but same goes for Wades in the previous series but he did not get the scrutiny that Lebron got. Finals breakdown or eastern conference finals breakdown are the practically the same but if you don't get passed Chicago you are not even making it to the big dance. with that said Jordan is the GOAT, Great series Mavs you deserved it.
June 13th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
Still more than what Lebron has.

June 13th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
Lebron: Not 1, not 2,not 3, not 4, maybe 5 points in the 4th quarter………..
June 13th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Well its pretty hard for Lebron to make a shot in the 4th quarter when both of his hands are around his neck!
June 13th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
To all the LeBron or HEAT haters:
I got 3 words for you. "SUCK MY D**K!""
June 13th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
As a Jason Kidd fan since his first put a mavs jersey on with that #5 , his days as a suns, two back to back losses with the Nets. I'm so happy the best point guard ever got his ring where it all began with Dallas. I'm swaggin like a maverick.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:14 pm
LMAO!!!
June 13th, 2011 at 1:15 pm
Lebron is the biggest asshole for what he said after the game!
June 13th, 2011 at 1:18 pm
The hole team worked their asses off.
June 13th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
We Finally did it!!!! Mavericks 2011 Champions!!!!
June 13th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Actually, Kobe has 2. The first 3 belong to Shaq.
June 13th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
DIRK???
hahahaha…
June 13th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Hahaha, thats all u can say. Ringless ass
June 13th, 2011 at 3:16 pm
I aint hating on Bron cuz im Cleveland, cuz he's a very talented player, and i will never take that from him. But he doesnt have the hunger like a Jordan, Magic, or Bird. Dirk does, and stayed in Dallas knowing his time would come. thats all Bron had to do. Dirk is proof of persistance, not riding the heels of someone else for a easy ring. Lebron bet not ever be put in the same sentence as Michael Jordan again!!!!!!
June 13th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
Go watch that heat celebration that wade, bosh n lebron made last year… Maybe it will make u feel better.
June 13th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
Are you serious??? You know this is his SECOND time in the finals. He got his ass whoop by the Spurs in the finals.
June 13th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
Its true too. He is probably the most gifted athlete to ever come into the NBA but lacks the heart and Killer Instinct to take control of a game when he is most needed.
June 13th, 2011 at 5:59 pm
yea and it took 13 years for Dirk to get it. he used to get the same talk about being a choke artist before these playoffs started. ppl have such short memory smh. your name is nikejordan, just from that i caqn tell you don't have a brain of your own. you follow the masses. wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know a thing about basketball. be a leader not a follower moron
June 13th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
no concept of team?? i believe he led his team in assist, steals, and rebounds in the finals. P2 just figured that out a couple years ago when they got their Big 3. maybe i'm wrong. it's not easy to beat a double team. you see they played D.Wade straight up. his points don't affect the game like LeBron's. how many games did LBJ score 30 and they lost now compare that to how many time D.Wade scored 30 and they lost, you'd be surprised. but hey, what do i know. they wouldn't have been in the finals if it wasn't for Bron
June 13th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
3RD BEST PG EVER. HOW CAN YOU OVERLOOK MAGIC??? AND STOCKTON????
June 13th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
what about every star that never got a ring? there are acceptions to every rule. all Lebron had to do was wait for one star to come to CLEVELAND or wait for the owner whose never had anything positive about him said on ESPN because his comments make you shake your head as a cavs fan assemble a deep team. Gilbert didn't get it done and it didn't look like he was making the right moves to get that deep team and couldn't get a star to want to play in such a small market. his main downfall may be that he was drafted by a small market team. Drose and Dirk benefited from being on a big city team. I don't think anyone of us would stay at a job where you don't believe your boss was going in the right direction that would coincide with you future goals.
June 13th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
Yes I knew dallas could do it . MAVS ova here ! get off lebron dick .
June 13th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
What I hate about Lebron the most is that this egotistical clown is a SORE LOSER. All one has to do is listen to his comments after Game 6 – the way he attacks the fans and the media and how he says they will go back to living their "sorry ass lives", which is the way he implied it. LOL. Face it Lebron. You're not Michael. You're not Magic. Heck, you're not even Kobe or Wade. Nothin' but Hype, just like a hypebeast.
But what I love most is how Lebron's hands were shaking so much at the podium and how he looked like a nervous wreck while he was answering questions at the press conference sitting next to Wade. Did y'all see how much his hands were shaking and how he was holding the microphone like a nervous 7-yr old kid at a spelling bee? What a joke. Lebron wanted to bite his nails and he knows it.
Bottom line: Lebron is NOT, I repeat…is NOT a prime time player. He doesn't step up to the challenge. He wilts under pressure. He cannot handle the heat of ridicule. And he will never soar to the same heights that Jordan, Magic, Bird, and Dr. J once did. He's just not cut from the same cloth. And that's a fact.
June 13th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
You sound like a lebron dick rider. It took Dirk 13 but he did it with the same team he started with. He didn't run like a bitch trying to buy a ring lime ya boy. You can put to rest all the "I didn't have any help" trash he was crying about. He's just soft and has no heart.
June 13th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
Don't forget to celebrate lebron day tomorrow…everybody gets to leave work 12 minutes early!
June 13th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
You get the new lebron phone??? It only vibrates because it has no rings!!! Lmao
June 13th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
why didn't Lebron James go to college? He didn't like showing up to Finals.
June 13th, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Dude didn't say that they didn't. He said, "Their entire career" meaning they played forever.
June 13th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Let the hype begin!!
June 13th, 2011 at 9:48 pm
Exactly my point. 8 years with the cavs 1 final appearence 1 year with heat 1 final appearence. U do the math. Yeah he got beat by the spurs but name two other players on the team at that time. Im not a lebron lover i was routing for the mavs. But dirk didnt beat the heat by himself. It was a team effort. U think he would won this championship w/o kid terry berea or chandler. I dont think so
June 14th, 2011 at 12:47 am
You guys are talking too much.
Plain and simple, it was a war between rookies and VETERANS.
If you didn't predict this outcome, you should get your head rearranged.
PERIOD.
June 14th, 2011 at 8:54 am
The problem with Lebron is although he loves to win…he doesn't HATE TO LOSE.
June 14th, 2011 at 10:38 am
IM FUCKIN SICK OF YALL FUCKIN CAVS FANS CRYIN LIKE A BUNCH OF BITCHES! LEBRON GAVE YOU 7 GOOD QUALITY YEARS OF BASKETBALL! GIT OVER IT BE HAPPY
1ST AND 4TH ROUND PICKS IN TH NBA DRAFT! TRY TO REBUILD THE TEAM.I DONT BLAME LEBRON FOR LEAVIN BORING ASS CLEVELAND FOR SEXY ASS MIAMI.SHHHHIT I WOULD! IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO PLAY WITH A SUPERSTAR LIKE D-WADE AND MULTIPLE ALL-STAR LIKE CHRIS BOCH I WOULD HAVE DONE SAME SHIT! SO YALL HATERS CAN ALL THE SHIT YALL WANT! JUST KNOW THAT THE BIG 3 AND THE HEAT AINT GOIN ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON SO KEEP TALKIN ALL THAT SHIT!
June 14th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
you people are pathetic, shaq played in LA 8 years from what I remember, and didnt win not a single RING until Kobe became just as equally talented, coming into his prime! No Kobe then NO 3 PEAT its that simple i dont care whether shaq was the most dominant big man or not.
And further more, what will you call lebron's rings if he gets any? Because if this double standard will be used on Kobe then it must be used for Lebron and everybody else…real talk moe..
June 14th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
POINT IS DIRK DIDNT RUN AWAY TO ANOTHER MAN'S TEAM, NOBODY IS STUPID, WE ALL KNO IT TAKES A TEAM….
BUT DIRK IS THE STAR OF DALLAS, AND WITHOUT HIM THIS SERIES WOULDA BEEN OVER IN GAME 2, AND THATS REAL ISH FOR YOU, BUHLEE IT!!!
JASON KIDD IS THE ONLY OTHER HALL OF FAMER ON THE TEAM, AND AT 38, HE IS NOT COMPARABLE TO THE LEVEL OF LBJ, WADE, OR EVEN BOSH…THEY TRIED TO STACK 3 SUPERSTARS AND LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON, NO SHORTCUTS!
June 14th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
BEST QUOTE EVER!
June 14th, 2011 at 12:17 pm
YEA SO WE CAN SEE YOUR JUST AS PATHETIC AS HIM, CLEVELAND IS BORING AND ALL, BUT LOOK ITS YOUR HOMETOWN STATE, IF DC DRAFTED ME I WOULD NEVER LEAVE UNLESS OUR TEAM NEVER IMPROVED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS! LEBRON HAD WON BACK 2 BACK 60 WIN SEASONS, DIDNT HAVE A BAD TEAM.
I WOULD WANT TO PLAY IN MIAMI TOO, BUT NOT WITH WADE, ANOTHER ALPHA-MALE CALIBER PLAYER, I WOULD STILL WANT MY OWN TEAM, SO IF HE WANTED TO LEAVE SO BAD HE SHOULDA WENT TO NYC AND STILL COULDA RULED AS KING JAMES, NOT PRINCE TO WADE!
June 14th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
damn this page has mad comments
June 14th, 2011 at 1:38 pm
A perfectly good example of KARMA!
June 14th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
so u think dirk wouldve spent 8 years in cleveland with a bunch of crappy players i dont think so. the reason the mavs won is cause cuban built a sold team around dirk. if the cavs wouldve done the same thing lebron would be there now with a championship. the only good player lebron played with is shaq and thats was when shaq was past his prime
June 14th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
dude u r stupid. the main reason lebron left is b/c he had to win the games himself. he didn't have a jason terry shooting three pointers and jump shots , a jason kid or berrau handling the ball, a Shawn marion holding it down on the defensive end. lebron was in cleveland playing more minutes than anyone else in the nba. he had the carry the team so much, if he would've stayed in cleveland he prob would have played 2-3 less years in the nba cause they were using his ass so much. and cleveland is not his hometown, akron is. if u are born in Orlando your not gona say oh miami is my hometown are u??
June 15th, 2011 at 1:46 am
Lol. You dudes keep crying saying "He didn't have any help" but say "Dirk couldn't do it by himself, it takes a team". The cave won 60 plus 2 seasons in a row. Did LeBron do it by himself? No, it took a team. Why couldn't Miami win that many games? Don't contradict yourself dumb ass.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:51 am
You're a dumbass. Shaq came to the Lakers in 96 after already going to the finals in Orlando once. They won a title in 2000. 2nd, if LeBron ever gets any rings, it will be Wades rings, not his. We already saw what he could do in 2 finals appearances. Nothing. Get off Kobes dick lame.
June 15th, 2011 at 1:54 am
P.S., Kobe was there before Shaq. Do some research before you speak lil kid.
June 15th, 2011 at 11:45 am
nah cuzz, F*CK YOU!
Do research? I know what im talking about, like I said shaq played in LA eight years, from 1996-2004, Kobe was drafted in 1996 by hornets and traded to LA! Like in my above comment I clearly say there was no championships UNTIL Kobe started coming into his ALLSTAR FORM, before starting off the 3peat in 2000, did Shaq bring a title on HIS OWN from 96' up to 99'?????
So how bout you get YOUR FACTS straight! HOP off Shaq's nuts for just a second for me and watch who you calling kid, im 21 years old out here homeboy.. f*ck you talking bout…
June 15th, 2011 at 11:50 am
he didnt have the best team talent wise….but he did have some good players on that team…and they all were certainly better than shaq, shaq didnt do anything for that team to be honest …just cause a player doesnt have a "HOUSEHOLD" name for you to recognize doesnt mean they are bad….
June 15th, 2011 at 11:55 am
thats why i put homeSTATE!!!! the hometown was a typo, but you clearly see "STATE" right next to it!
and i think akron and cleveland ARE BOTH CITIES in the STATE OF OHIO!!!!!
and another thing, this past season, and even in the playoffs Lebron has STILL LOGGED MAJOR MINUTES!!! You see they give Wade some stretches of rest, but Lebron and sometimes Bosh are on the floor LONG stretches of the game, because there isn't anyone on the bench who could replace them without losing key offense and defense
June 15th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
I guess carmelo ran like a bitch 2 he went to new york tryin get a ring
June 16th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Sounds like you're on Kobe's nuts. They all didn't win without Robert Horry and he has 7 rings. Guess he's better than them all huh? Shaq is the reason they won little kid
June 30th, 2011 at 1:06 pm
the lebron jokes got old really fast
