Heading into the Lakers series, Charles Barkley called it best, stating that Dirk Nowitzky is the best closer in teh game right now.

As for Lebron James (and even Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh), well late in Game 6, coming out of a timeout and the Heat's championship hopes essentially on the line, they came out and executed a play for Mario Chalmers. That pretty much says it all.

Picture: LBJ can't mock nearly as well as he can choke.

The Big Three are champs!

What? Did you think we meant D-Lame, Jester James and the RuPaul of Big Men? No, we are talking about Dirk Daggerheimer, The Jet and The Kidd.

D-Lame and The Jester James

Shots Heard blasted Dwyane Wade and Lebron James for mocking Dirk playing with a Game 4 illness. It was especially pathetic that after Wade and James did this video before Game 5, Wade ended up missing a half of Game 5 by faking a hip injury.

At least in the back of my mind, I wanted to believe that Wade saw something that made him think Dirk was faking the illness or even embellishing it.

But in a recent comments, Wade validated that he was a complete fool. Now he claims that he was really coughing and he blames the media for taking it out of context.

 D-Wade? Try D-Lame.

On an off day, following Game 5, when Dirk caught wind of their mockery he called them out (as Shots Heard did), calling them "a little childish and a little ignorant."

Try completely childish. Wade is not just the child that gets into trouble. He is the child that does something stupid right in front of your face and then says he did not do it. The dude just ain't cool and by the way the D in D-Lame does not stand for Dwyane. You can figure out what it stands for.

As for James, his well documented antics are pathetic as well. A recent story talked about him texting an anonymous player and saying 'yo it's King James.' No it's not. You're a Jester in D-Lame's court.
