In a revealing conversation during the premiere episode of “The Why with Dwyane Wade,” a co-production of iHeartPodcasts and Wade’s 59th & Prairie Entertainment, NBA legends Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki revisited the animosity that unfolded after the 2006 NBA Finals.
Addressing the tensions, Dirk Nowitzki acknowledged, “Well, there wasn’t a lot of love there.” He pointed out that both sides made statements that weren’t appreciated, particularly Wade taking offense when Nowitzki suggested they had “kinda given them [Miami] the championship.” Nowitzki recognized Wade’s hard work and effort during the Finals.
