Image via WikipediaIt made us laugh, it made us cry. But most of all, the 2011 NBA playoffs left us with some memories that will last a lifetime.
Which teams left the biggest impact? Which players came out of nowhere to make their impression felt?
Dirk Nowitzki in the Finals. From Dirk hurting his finger, to fighting through his cold, to establishing himself as the best player in the postseason, to rushing off the court to reflect by himself immediately after winning Game 6 and the title -- what I'll remember most about the Finals is that the best European scorer ever to play in the league finally got his title.
Without question, LeBron James' NBA Finals performance. I'm not saying this because I wish failure upon him. He's arguably the best basketball player in the world, and I want to see the best he has to offer every time out. In these Finals, we didn't see that LeBron once. The clock is ticking.
The new kids (Chicago, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Miami) demanding their seats at the table. And the stern parent (Dallas) who told them dinner wouldn't be ready for at least another 12 months.
