Dirk calls Wade, James 'childish'

[madinmaryland]

MIAMI (AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki said Saturday that Dwyane Wade and LeBron James were "a little childish, a little ignorant" in a video that appears to show them mocking the Mavericks star's recent illness.

Wade said he really did cough and turned it into a generic joke because cameras were rolling. He and James blamed others for trying to make a big deal out of it.

The video taken by the CBS affiliate in Dallas-Fort Worth shows Wade walking alongside James following a shootaround the morning of Game 5 of the NBA finals. Wade coughs, then says, "Did you hear me cough? Think I'm sick."

Nowitzki was coughing and sniffling throughout Game 4 because of a sinus infection that also left him with a 101-degree fever. He played anyway and led Dallas to a victory over the Miami Heat that evened the series at two games each. The Mavs also won Game 5, sending them into Game 6 on Sunday night with a chance to be crowned champions.

Yeah, I'm sure the "jealous douchebags" condone this type of behavior.

1. Let them yuck it up

So far their pretentious super team hasn't quite panned out in terms of cake walking to a title. And given how badly the Heat have choked in the three games they've lost, it's unlikely that they are going to all of a sudden develop the sort of fortitude that it takes to win when it's hard.

2. "He and James blamed others for trying to make a big deal out of it."

The immature typically do try to project their faults on others.
