?Super Disrespectful?: Dwyane Wade?s Premature Blunder Fueled 7ft NBA Veteran?s 12YO Victory Over LeBron James? Heat

The NBA Finals are supposed to crown the best basketball team of a certain season. There are teams who just dominate from the beginning of the season and are considered favorites. But there are some teams who pull off massive upsets to win it all. One such upset happened in the year 2011 when Dwyane Wade & Co took on the Dallas Mavericks. A certain Dallas veteran was spotted touching on the topic of the Mavericks’ legendary comeback.

LeBron James left the Cavaliers and joined Miami in 2010. Suddenly, the Miami Heat became the absolute favorites for the NBA Championship. But the basketball outfit in Texas had different plans.

In conversation with Matt Barnes, the former Mavs’ big man gave an interesting perspective on the fabled 2011 Finals. Apparently, the tide of the series changed due to Dwyane Wade‘s antics. Tyson Chandler was one of the major defensive assets for Dirk Nowitzki’s team. The Mavericks went down 2-1 in three games and Chandler revealed how the third game loss was a wake-up call for the Dallas outfit.

Tyson said, “They were whooping us in the second game and we were still almost shell shocked.”

Chandler added, “What turned the series was when D Wade hit the three by our bench then held it up and walked by our whole bench. Like super disrespectful. But after that, it was like all right wake up. It woke us up.”

It seems the cold blooded move by The Flash rallied the Mavericks bench unit. In Chandler’s words, “It shifted for us at that point.”

The 2012 Defensive Player of the Year opened up on how the game 3 loss and Dwyane Wade’s antics changed the team’s mindset and lead them to win three games in a row. Along the way causing a massive upset and winning Dallas’ first ever championship title.
