Former head coach Rick Carlisle decided to put J.J. Barea in the starting five over Stevenson. The latter, however, came off the bench to shoot 13-for-23 from deep in those three games, including three triples in Dallas’ Game 6 victory over LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
The Mavericks completed the team’s first ever championship title run by beating the Heat 4-2. Dirk Nowitzki and company went through the Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers on their way to a championship.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban paid a total of $1.4 million for the championship rings, which are covered in diamonds. The 10K gold ring includes more than 130 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 2.75 carats.
