The purest thing I can compare it to in football terms, a championship driven mostly by a single individual and achieved without outside influence would be the 1996 Packers, or perhaps the 1985 Bears, with Walter Payton and Brett Favre playing the Dirk Nowitzki role. Certainly the Drew Brees Saints could also qualify, although that championship was somewhat tainted by the favoritism the league bestowed upon New Orleans due to Hurricane Katrina.

The Dirkness was a championship run for the ages in all sports.
The 85 Bears had the greatest defense ever, won the Super Bowl by about a million (against your beloved Pats), and Walter Payton lost a fumble on the first snap of the game (I think).
