2011 NBA Finals

The 2011 NBA Finals was the championship series of the 2010–11 season of this National Basketball Association (NBA) where the Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks defeated the Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat four games to two to win their first NBA championship. The series had been held from May 31. German participant Dirk Nowitzki was named the Finals MVP, becoming the second European to win the award after Tony Parker (2007) and the first German player to do so. The show was a rematch.
Going into the series, the Heat were heavy favorites with their recently acquired superstars LeBron James and Chris Bosh along with returning superstar Dwyane Wade.
The Dallas Mavericks became the first team in NBA history as the institution of the 2–3–2 format to enter Game 3 tied at one, lose Game 3 and win the Finals. The previous 11 times this occurred, the Game 3 winner went on to win the series.The Mavericks also became just the 7th team, and the first since 1988, to come back and win the Finals after being down in the series two or more separate times (one match to none, and later two matches to one). The past six times this happened, the Finals ended in seven matches; Dallas became the first team in NBA history to take action in six games.
ABC averaged a 10.1 rating, 11.7 million families and nearly 17.3 million viewers with the 2011 Finals, based on Nielsen.
