Did the Mavericks win the 2011 single-core championship? Personally, I feel that there is no so-called single-core championship.
No one can deny Nowitzki's strength, sweeping the defending champion Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals, defeating Durant's Thunder in the Western Conference Finals, and then defeating the Heat Big Three in the Finals, beating three players in the league's top three in a row, enough to show the strength of the Mavericks. But the Mavericks are not single-core at all, and this season the Mavericks have 57 wins, tied for fourth in the league with the Lakers, and are a strong team. Jason Terry is a nerve knife who has nine three-pointers in a single game against the Lakers, averaging 18 points per game in the Finals with a true shooting percentage of 60.5%, James averaging 17.8 points, 7.1 boards and 6.8 assists per game in the Finals, and Bosh averaging 18.5 points, 7.3 boards and 1 assist. Terry in contrast, if this is not the core, then what is James?
Kidd, who was 38 at the time, was indeed not the core, but the experience of the master of control was an important piece of the championship puzzle. There is also the 36-year-old Peja, who did not perform well in the Finals, but averaged 12.5 points per game in the series against the Lakers. When the 39-year-old Malone joined the Lakers in 2003, it can be called F4, so why can't the 36-year-old Peja?
And Tyson Chandler's Defensive Second Team of the Season (Defensive Player of the Season in the Knicks next year), having this defensive gate on the inside is definitely a big guarantee.
Then Marion Marion was the core boss of the Suns before, a talented man, a long arm span, amazing athleticism, and James averaged 17.8 points per game, which shows how successful Marion is in limiting him. Do you know who has the most hats in Kobe? Chandler, Kidd, and Marion are the foundation of the Mavericks' defense. Marion on the outside is pinned down, and inside is protected by Chandler's frame, and the defense is solid.
In addition, there is Baria, who averaged 11.5 points per game against the Lakers, and the Lakers' weak back line was like a sieve of so-called role players.
There is no single-core championship, the so-called single-core championship is just that the overall balance is above the average level, but Nowitzki is a little outstanding, leading this group of average players to win the championship without being favored.
