Did you feel the same when Lebron was sick during the Bulls series? He kinda talked about it

I didnt give a crap when his elbow was hurting last year either. You can check my posts.

If you injured dont play. Otherwise just shut up. It's not like your defender is going to go easy on you.

No Lebron was not a Heat last year therefore your interest is questioned in terms of vesting in this year's Heat team

Did you think Lebron was a girl when he talked about his fever during the Bulls series as a Heat?

I dont care about Lebron complaining. I watch the Heat because I love basketball and the Knicks are no longer on TV.

Lebron, Wade, and Bosh are entertaining. Apparently millions of people agree with me.

People are watching to see them lose. You aren't.

There are quite a few fans probably a good chunk in the NYC greater area hoping they win as they want COLLUSION to work. As in if it works for the Heat we can possibly complete Collusion Part Deux and bring CP3 here and it work for us. One of the things I wish we would have done to Lebron was throw the biggest wrench in his Free Agency hoopla and refused to go visit him at his firm in Cleveland and I mentioned this immediately after he made the ridiculous pronouncement of teams coming to him.

Anyway these guys are typical clowns but hey the dunk and have sick shoes

If they lose it doesn't mean collusion doesn't work and won't work here. If they do win it doesn't mean collusion will work here either. I think almost everyone accepts this so I doubt there are that many people who think if Dirk has a few off games and Lebron happens to go off that we may e championship bound or if it goes the other way we are screwed. The Heat are in the finals and are playing very competively. It's common snese that if you get the best players on one team you have a better shot at winning.

It would have been great if we did that to LBJ. The hype and drama from that whole debacle would have been halved.

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.

It's amazing any fan besides those who live in Miami/Florida area root for them

yea, you hit the nail on the head.... it sickens me to listen to the knicks fans on other sites root for the heat because they feel that the heat sucess=knicks success in the future.... SMH

I mean who knows how any of this plays out down the road but you also have this scenario if Dallas pulls off victory in Game 6/7 then really it's about Lebron losing and not even so much The Heat.

The NBA will then try to flip this script in the ensuing seasons..... painting Lebron as some martyr athlete all he wanted to do is play with his friends and have some fun blah blah pity him now bs....let's get behind him to win a chip. Look a lot of fans disliked Jordan but they disliked him not because he truly transcended the sport, carried it by himself for a near decade and became arguably the best basketball player to ever play the game. No they disliked him because he stopped many teams who were absolute juggernauts in their own right from winning it all. He was all about winning and competing in it's purest form. No Gimmicks straight Hard Body. They disliked him because he was truly good and the most unstoppable force in basketball even when we all know the NBA backed his brand and persona, he truly beat teams hands down...all of them.

Meanwhile Lebron is this phony character..... who the NBA thinks can carry this league, have stood behind him basically his whole career when he's won not a damn thing and this Bum has the nerve to think he can start setting standards of how teams should be formed, what's considered real competition, and what's best for the league. Then when it's time to prove he's all about winning on the court at the highest stakes he starts wilting like leaf in HEAT. Wade just wants to be accepted by the referees and wants a little media sympathy he could care less about anything else and Bosh is like a pair of Slip on Loafers or No Show Socks

Listen Momma's Boy Bron.... there was nothing wrong with the league other than the overall US economy being poor for a stretch to support it. The league was approaching an upswing until this happened. There is more and more fresh blood coming in making a name for themselves and a new breed of teams coming on the scene.

YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A COMPLETE JOKE AND MOCKERY OF THIS SPORT OR BETTER YET COMPETITION IN GENERAL

very well put juice.. one of the best post I have read in a while... We all know why jordan was disliked, and it was simply because he beat our teams and just out competed everyone. He was fierce and cold blooded on the court and every non bulls fans despised the guy who knocked off their teams and did it without any mercy... But what we disliked about jordan the player is also what we appreciate the most as a basketball or even a sports fans.. COMPETITION!!!

lebron and wade are phony, from their well rehearsed quotes to their posturing on the courts in front of the cameras.... before game 5, lebron tweeted something like "now or never"... I mean will you STFU lebron!!!!! Jeez, these guys are so childish and girlish... drama queens....

I agree, I didn't like the collusion crap between the players, and I hope these clowns lose today..

Wade's starting to annoy me as much as LeBron...
