Then he went on a tear midseason the last playoff year and was walking on water it seemed...perfect passes and couldn't miss a shot...I said after that I would never bash him again...late that season he put the team on his back and carried us to the playoffs...
Barea this year did not complain about salary or minutes played...instead he has been a true team first professional while mentoring those who took his role...

Top 10 Maverick all-time IMO...
I loved the way he frustrated the Lakers in the 2011 second-round series. He either danced right by them to the basket, or got the ball to Tyson Chandler for a dunk, over and over. Andrew Bynum got so frustrated, he took Barea out and got suspended for five games, hahaha. Those were the days.
