For years, Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade battled it out on the court. All while not being the best in the world, far from it… While they will both be entering the Hall of Fame soon, we had the right to a surprising revelation about them.
Among the biggest rivalries of the 2000s, that between Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade is one of the most significant. The German was certainly also engaged in fierce battles with Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett, but he faced the back of the Heat twice in the Finals, in 2006 and 2011. And the least we can say is that is that there were quickly sparks between the two men.
Miami’s unlikely comeback in 2006, Flash’s controversial behavior in 2011 while the Mavs star was sick, all led to a rather strained relationship between the two legends. Interestingly, each will also enter the Hall of Fame in a few days. And obviously, this major event pushed them to get closer to each other, as revealed by the Dallas Morning News :

Opponents on the field for more than 15 years, sworn enemies for a good part of this period, the Wunderkind and D-Wade have therefore ended up patching things up when they will both receive the greatest of honors. Enough to put them into perspective about their past beef, as Nowitzki revealed to the Dallas Morning News. For the Dallas legend, there was no point in letting things stay like this:
We sat together with his family during one of the dinner parties, and we talked. There’s a lot of mutual respect now I think. I know we’ve had our tough times in our careers, but at the end of the day you can’t be friends with everyone you play against at the highest level, it just doesn’t work that way.
There were things said on both sides that were not appreciated, but you know what? It was almost 20 years ago now, no more hard feelings, it’s going to be a fun week with him.
A speech that warms the heart since beyond the animosity that may have reigned between them, the two legends have learned to respect each other over time. So there we have a perfect conclusion to their relationship.
The battle between Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade was one of the most epic, between 2003 and 2019. Now, however, there is no longer a war between the two men and we can imagine that they will wink at each other respectively. of eyesduring their Hall of Fame induction speech.
