The respect shared between LeBron James and Dwyane Wade was extremely apparent Monday night as the Los Angeles Lakers took care of business against the Miami Heat. They’ve built that bond over 16 years shared in the NBA together, and James made it clear he was extremely grateful for the relationship he and Wade built after taking the court with his close friend for the last time.
“Some people say you shouldn’t be friends with your competitors because you still can’t compete, but I think people realize that even with our friendship, we competed against each other and pushed each other,” James said.
