I mean, what has made Dwyane Wade, who used to be a great guy (In my view anyway), turn into such a classless jackass? I mean, the differences in his personality from a year ago to now is just startling. Damn that corruptor LeBron.

Nice to see two straight years of some pretty awesome finals after years of dull ones.

I think getting scrutinized constantly, and the backlash of his 9/11 comparison have really made him defensive.

I actually heard some people earlier trying to put the blame for Wade's injury on Brian Cardinal.
Yes, what a malicious assault by Brian Cardinal to cause that injury. He shall surely be suspended!!

Well, Im glad karma came calling because before Game 5, Lebron James and Dwayne Wade made fun of Dirk's illness in Game 4. Eh, people need to relax. It's no big deal that they joked around at Dirk's expense

Can someone show me where Dwayne got hurt? It looked like he "hurt" himself when he flopped on the floor like he got hit with a missle or something.

Yea, I think LeBron is great and all, but he is not even in MJ's league. The media needs to stop looking for "The Next Jordan" because all we are going to get is people who fail to live up to the moniker.

Plus, there’s going to be times when we lose 2-3 games in a row, and it seems like the world has crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade is coming down again, but it’s not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games.”

It's no big deal that they joked around at Dirk's expense It's overblown, but it still shouldn't have happened, especially in front of a camera. I don't understand how you mock your opponent for having a fever of 102 and a sinus infection when he still defeated you anyway, but that's just my opinion. Dwyane is also the same guy that made the "get knocked down 7 times, get up 8" commercial and then.... I'm sure if any player mocked this injury they would have gotten backlash for it.

That's actually a fun way to kill some time. I just had one come up with "Ray Allen Vs. Jason Kidd", and I picked Kidd. The one after that was "Tom Chambers Vs. Juwan Howard", and then followed up by two former Suns teammates, "Shawn Marion Vs. Amare Stoudamire."

It just shows the lack of common sense these 3 jackasses have

From ESPN.com:
Dirk Nowitzki: Antics were 'childish' By Tim MacMahon ESPNDallas.com
MIAMI -- Dirk Nowitzki didn't find anything funny about the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and LeBron James coughing and cracking jokes about being sick in front of cameras, calling it "childish."
Wade and James didn't mention Nowitzki's name, but it appeared they were mocking the Dallas Mavericks superstar while walking out of the American Airlines Center following Thursday's shootaround, before Game 5 of the NBA Finals. That's certainly how Nowitzki, who battled a sinus infection that caused a 101-degree fever during Dallas' Game 4 win, perceived the incident when he watched the video.
"I just thought it was a little childish, a little ignorant," Nowitzki said before Saturday's practice at AmericanAirlines Arena. "I've been in this league for 13 years. I've never faked an injury or illness."
Wade, who referred to Nowitzki's sinus infection Thursday as "the fun-loving story of him being sick," claimed Saturday that he didn't pretend to cough.
"I actually did cough," Wade said. "And with the cameras being right there, we made a joke out of it because we knew you guys were going to blow it up. You did exactly what we knew.
"We never said Dirk's name. I think he's not the only one in the world who can get sick or have a cough. We just had fun with the cameras being right in our face about the blowup of the incident, and it held to be true. You blew it up."
James did not clarify whether his cough was fake or not. He declined to discuss the incident.
"I'm not feeding into that," said James, who has been heavily criticized for performing well below his standards during this series. "If you guys want to feed into everything that not only myself or D-Wade or the Miami Heat do, I think that's a non-issue. There's bigger issues in this series than that."
Nowitzki, who is averaging 27.0 points and has consistently dominated in crunch-time during the series, agrees with that point. With the Mavericks up 3-2 in the Finals, Nowitzki's focus is solely on closing out the series to claim his first championship.
While the coughing and joking by Wade and James annoyed Nowitzki, he said it wouldn't influence his demeanor during Game 6.
"It's over to me," Nowitzki said. "It's not going to add anything extra to me. This is the NBA Finals. If you need extra motivation, you have a problem.
"So we're one win away from my dream, what I've worked for half of my life. This is all I'm really worried about. This is all I'm focusing on."

After watching that video, I think there's a part of Michael that would kill to grab a time machine, get his body back to its glory years, get back in the league and kick LeBron's ass, Wade's ass, Kobe's ass, etc.
