Dirk Nowitzki Leads Mavs to 2011 NBA Championship

Dominant Playoff Performance

260 Points, 97 Rebounds, 20 Assists

Dirk Nowitzki cemented his legacy as one of the greatest NBA players of all time after leading the Dallas Mavericks to their first-ever NBA championship in the 2010-11 season. During the playoffs, Nowitzki put up astounding numbers, averaging 26 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.

Nowitzki's playoff performance that season was particularly impressive considering he was 32 years old and had been battling injuries throughout the regular season. However, once the playoffs started, he seemed to turn back the clock, showcasing his signature fadeaway jumper and uncanny ability to create his own shot.

Past 10 Seasons: 2015-2024

Since the Mavericks' championship victory in 2011, the team has had a mixed record in the playoffs. They have reached the second round in four of the past 10 seasons but have yet to return to the NBA Finals.

Championship Years: 2011

The Dallas Mavericks have only won a single NBA championship in their franchise history. That championship came in the 2010-11 season when they defeated the Miami Heat 4-2 in the NBA Finals.
