Revisionist history at its finest but it´s hard to argue against the emotions and memories of the championship run. People remember the shots that he made against the Lakers. They completly forget that he couldn´t guard a chair. Not to mention that the Mavs were up 2-0 against the Lakers. He was solid in game three and went supernova in game 4. He had one good game against the Blazers and made some big shots. Hard to argue that the Mavs would have lost the series without him.
