Wow. If you already dislike the Miami Heat, this video might make you dislike them even more. The local TV news cameras caught LeBron James and Dwyane Wade seemingly mocking Dirk Nowitzki of the Dallas Mavericks' recent illness during the NBA Finals.Nowitzki, playing with a fever and sinus infection, still led the Mavs to victory in Game 4. At a shoot-around before their Game 5 loss to the Mavs Thursday, James and Wade seem to jokingly suggest the Mavs star was faking, or acting like a bit of a drama queen, by coughing into their shirts and cracking wise about the heat in Texas.
VOTE: Can Heat still win NBA title?
The video didn't go over well with Skip Bayless and Rob Parker on ESPN2's First Take Thursday.
"This is childish arrogance. This is petty," said Bayless.
Parker said the video showed the Heat arrogantly thought they'd already won the NBA championship -- before going out and losing Game 5 and falling into a 3-2 series hole. "I don't understand why they would play to the cameras like that?"
Take a look for yourself. What do you think? Are LeBron and D-Wade out of line? Or are they just having a little fun and this is no biggie? Sound off below:
