In the NBA, the best way to measure the gold content of a team is to see what kind of opponents they have faced in the playoffs and finally win the championship, the reason why the 11-year-old Mavericks are considered to be extremely high is because they eliminated the Lakers who won two consecutive championships in the playoffs, blocking the opportunity of the opponent's dynasty, and at the same time crushing the Heat in the playoffs, and then the Heat won the championship for two consecutive years, and the Mavericks were blocked by two dynasty teams.

If the Mavericks can win the championship this season, then their gold content is also extremely high, because the team has completed three rounds in the playoffs, and each opponent is a team with a record of more than 50 wins, defeating the Clippers who won the regular season 51-31 in the first round, the Thunder who defeated 57-25 in the second round, and the Timberwolves who defeated 56-26 in the division finals, and the teams that can eliminate three 50-win teams to advance to the finals, looking at the history of only 5, in addition to the Mavericks, which four have done it?
