Dirk Calls Wade & LeBron’s 2011 Coughing 'Childish' 🤔

The 2011 NBA Finals brought plenty of on-court battles, but one off-court moment stirred controversy. Ahead of Game 5, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James were caught mocking Dirk Nowitzki by fake coughing, making fun of Dirk’s illness in Game 4, where he played through a fever.

Dirk later responded, calling the act “childish” and letting his game speak for itself. Fueled by the disrespect, Dirk led the Dallas Mavericks to their first-ever NBA championship, earning Finals MVP honors.

This wasn’t just a Finals—it was personal, and Dirk’s response became one of the greatest in NBA history. 💪🔥
