"All-NBA Third Team: Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, Paul Gasol, Shawn Marion, Little Si;"
It was clear that Dirk Nowitzki had completely fallen out of favor.
This season he had performed reasonably well, with the Mavericks ranking second in the Western Conference, but he didn't earn a spot on any of the All-NBA teams.
Of course, after the first round ended, the "Black Seven" proved that the media's voting was without a single issue.
The New York Times thought out loud, "If LeBron James' career doesn't have any breakthroughs, then what awaits him is becoming the next 'Dirk Nowitzki'!"
That scared LeBron so much that he immediately called Wade, "Buddy, are you really not willing to come to Cleveland? Last season we got 65 wins, and if it weren't for Shawn's injury, there's no way we would have been upset by the Black Eight. Just come here, and we can definitely create something big next season!"
Wade apologized, "LeBron, we're the best of brothers, but I'm sorry, I can't leave Miami!"
