DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/609/dirk-nowitzki)'s sinus infection and the ensuing storyline apparently was a source of amusement for Miami Heat (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/mia/miami-heat) superstars Dwyane Wade (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1987/dwyane-wade) and LeBron James (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1966/lebron-james) before Game 5.
As they walked out of American Airlines Center after Thursday morning's shootaround, Wade and James pretended to cough and wheeze, smirking as they repeatedly covered their mouths with their shirts while being filmed by Miami CBS affiliate WFOR.
"Whoa, did y'all hear me cough? I think I'm sick," Wade said before turning toward James and chuckling.
This came two days after Nowitzki scored 21 points, including a critical driving layup in the last minute, while playing with a 101-degree fever during the Dallas Mavericks (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/dal/dallas-mavericks)' NBA Finals-tying Game 4 win.
Wade had already made it clear that he believed the story of Nowitzki playing through illness and injury -- the Mavericks' superstar tore the tendon in his left middle finger in the series opener -- had been overblown.
There's more at the link above. Love seeing these cocky assholes go down.
