The Right Time with Bomani Jones

Vinnie Goodwill on Why Dirk’s 2011 Title Run Changed Everything about his Legacy | 06.02

June 2, 2026·1h 5m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Bomani Jones and Vinnie Goodwill go back to the two NBA Finals that defined Dirk Nowitzki’s career: 2006 and 2011. They break down how Dirk changed the league, why the “soft” label followed him for years, how the We Believe Warriors loss stuck to him, and why that 2011 championship run completely changed the way we talk about his legacy. If you remember Dwyane Wade living at the line, the fake cough, the Heatles pressure cooker, and Dallas finally getting its revenge, this is the full Dirk story. Learn more about your ad choices.
