Was Dirk’s 2011 Ring the Hardest in NBA History?

Dirk Nowitzki’s 2011 championship run with the Dallas Mavericks is often called the hardest road to a ring. The Mavs knocked out: Blazers (Roy, Aldridge) Lakers (Kobe, Gasol) Thunder (KD, Russ, Harden) Heat (LeBron, Wade, Bosh) And Dirk did it without Caron Butler, the team’s second-best player during the season who missed the playoff run due to injury. One superstar, no superteam. Was this the toughest path to a title we’ve ever seen? #DirkNowitzki #MavsNation #NBAFinals #NBAHistory #NBAChampion #BasketballTalk #Sports
