Ahh…it’s finally all over. The Dallas Mavericks just defeated the Miami Heat in 6 games to capture the 2011 NBA Championship in what has been the most enjoyable NBA Playoffs in recent memory. Dirk Nowitzki was named Finals MVP, elevating the big silky German to all-time great status and denying Miami’s much-maligned ‘Big Three’ of Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh a chance at a title in their first year together. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
Here are the 10 things that I thought made these Playoffs one of the best ever.

I’m not going to bother about starters and reserves. It’s not a popularity contest. These are just the 12 people from each conference that I think deserve to be playing in Phoenix in the 58th NBA All-Star Game. (NB: only people on the ballot are considered and there will be at least 2 guards, 2 forwards and 1 center on each team)
Let me know what you think. Who are your picks?
