The Time is NOWitzki

So, Dallas Mavericks has beaten Miami Heat in 2011 NBA Finals by 4-2. This is the first NBA championship title for the club, for the controversial owner Mark Cuban, and for most of their players, including Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Peja Stojakovic, and Jason Kidd. This is a sweet payback for the Mavs after they were defeated by Heat with the same score, back in 2006 NBA Finals.


Considering most of their players are already above 30-year-old, Dallas Mavericks' theme for this year playoff is The Time is Now, which changed to The Time is NOWitzki by some of their fans. Dirk Nowitzki is the key player for Mavs, including in this finals, which grants him the finals' MVP.


"It feels amazing now to know that nobody can ever take this way away from us again," said the German power-forward, "and for one year we're the best team that was out there. That feels amazing."

Dirk Nowitzki made his NBA debut in 1998 with Dallas Mavericks, and he never changes team ever since. He and Jason Terry are the only veteran players left from the 2006 finals defeat.

"Dirk and Jet have had to live with those demons for five years," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "And as of tonight, those demons are officially destroyed."

"This is a true team," Carlisle added. "This is an old bunch. We don’t run fast or jump high. These guys had each other’s backs. We played the right way. We trusted the pass. This is a phenomenal thing for the city of Dallas."

Dirk Nowitzki has a severe injury with a torn tendon in his left middle finger that he got from game one in Miami. Since game three, he had to battling a sinus infection and high fever, which being clowned on camera by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, two Heat's superstars.

33-year-old and 13 years of NBA career without title has made Dirk Nowitzki very focus and determinant in this year playoff. He scores average point of 27.7 during the playoff, with 39.3 minutes/game.

Dirk Nowitzki and other Mavs' veterans have proven that they're too strong for Heat's trio superstars, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. They have reminded all the sport fans that title has to be fought, not to be bought! Congratulations for Dallas Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki. They are now part of NBA history and become sport legends.
