Misc. Discussion Which Dallas championship is more satisfying in your core memory? 2011 Mavs redemption or the Cowboys 90s Smackdown?

I know I’m on an NBA sub, so there’s going to be so bias. But my question is for the people that can remember both.

While alive for the cowboys championships, I was too young to remember what was going on. I was very much aware of the ‘06 tragedy and personally, out of all the championships Dallas as a city has brought since (Stars ‘00, Mavs ‘11, Rangers ‘23, I can’t remember when the FC won), 2011 always lives in my heart as one of the best sports stories of a team on a redemption track. Since I love stories, this is obviously my favorite. If the Rangers had won in 2012 it would have been a good one too…that one still hurts…

Interested in what y’all think…
