During the 2011 Finals, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, who had only worked together for a season at the time, mocked the sick Dirk Nowitzki, which aroused huge criticism, because such an approach is very unsports. Spirit.
That year can be said to be the low point for Wade and LeBron. Although the Heat broke into the finals, LeBron has been scolded for the transfer decision, and Nowitzki defeated them to win the finals.
In the years that followed, they both expressed regret for mocking Nowitzki’s actions. Wade also said in an interview recently: “At the time, we were too young to think so seriously — we didn’t take it seriously. Health and illness are considered serious things, so I want to show something in front of the camera."
Wade also said that he has never watched that funny video again, "I will also warn my son not to do similar things. We have no personal grievances with (Nowitzki), and we just wanted to do something to the media at that time. , Do something. It turned out to be a very serious matter, but in fact we had no intentions at the time."
But Wade said that he also accepts criticism from the outside because he did something wrong. But what is not certain is whether they have asked Nowitzki to apologize, and whether Nowitzki later forgave them.
