I've seen a lot of legendary conference final performances before and I never saw someone score 48 points on 15 shots, not even Jordan. Not only was Dirk extraordinarily efficient, he was doing it while hitting an array of fade away jumpers over a good defender in Ibaka. Everyone else in the league would have needed 25-30 shots to get 48 points... not Dirk. Easily the MVP and best player of the playoffs... there's nothing anyone can do to stop him form scoring.

Oh Nash...I wish you were with us when we won the NBA Championship. I hope you will win one before you retire!

@stuckonautomatic if you are good enough shooter, 3's are not a bad shot to take.

Nash could get Nowitzki open jumpers all day.

wasn't traded...signed with phoenix, cuban didn't want to spend what phoenix was offering and they had just drafted devin harris
-
steve nash was on the mavs y was he traded?
-
@99bullshart99 because Dirk was soft back then and didnt have an inside game like he has now, and nash didnt have the 3 shot he has now...and the supporting cast wasnt as good as it is now
-
so cool seeing nash pass to dirk....

people who didnt know nash played for the mavs must be newbie mavs fans.
A 3pt shot is not a low-percentage shot if you take into account that it counts 1,5 times as much as a 2 pointer.
Over his career, Dirk shoots almost 50% on 2s (substract 3p from his fg) and 38% on 3s, but those 38% equate 57% on 2s (simple example: 2/5 on 3s is as good as 3/5 on 2s).
So I'm definately in favor of the idea that he reactivates his 3p shot (just as he has done recently with 7 of 10 over the last 3 games -- 21 pts on 10 shots is something two pointers can't do for you).
