OKLAHOMA, May 31, 2011 The NBA Finals will begin this week and all signs point to it being a great series. The playoffs have been off the charts. Weve had seven-games series, old teams get eliminated, young players emerge and great games all around.
The two best players in the post-season by far have been Dirk Nowitzki and LeBron James. When is the last time we have had a Finals that had the two best players meet in the Finals?
In fact, if you were doing a draft before the playoffs started knowing what we know now, who would you take first?
They both are versatile players, and they both do a lot for their team. If this were Hollywood, we would have two leading men with some interesting supporting players.
The Dallas Mavericks as The Expendables
Sylvester Stallones movie where he got a bunch of washed-up stars and a few current stars that were never as big as Stallone was and made a huge hit, is the way I look at the Mavs. Dirk is A-list that has his name above the title. Look at the rest of the team. A bunch of guys that have had varying degrees of success on other teams but needed each other to have a hit.
Jason Kidd has two Finals appearances, Jason Terry has one, Shawn Marion has had some playoff success and bunch of players that have been successful.
Also Dirk kind of sounds like Sly.
