Dwyane Wade expressed his views on the upcoming Christmas game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and his BFF, King James. In the interview, Wade states the Heat wouldn’t have been championship winners without LBJ, and “hopes our fans are appreciative.” Get more juice on this interview and what Wade says about his current relationship with LBJ after the jump!
Well, ‘The King’ is making a return to Miami this Christmas, where he will be reunited with the Heat, yet on opposing sides. When Wade was asked about this, he says fans should be supportive at first but once the games begin, they can just ‘do them.’
“It’s going to be a mixture,” Wade said. “How I think he should be received is a little different. The man helped take us to places we’ve only been once before he got here. So I think he should be received very well for that at the start of the game. And then when the game comes on, then do what you’ve got to do (as fans).”
In the interview, Wade went on to discuss his current ties with LeBron James, saying things are still the same, as “they may even speak more than they did before they teamed up.”
“At the end of the day, this is a sport,” he said, and he would never let a sport come between him and the closest friends he has made through it, whether it be James, Udonis Haslem, Dorell Wright or Quentin Richardson.
How frequently do they speak?
“Very often, man,” Wade said. “I think we talk as much as you can ever talk to one of your best friends, whether it’s about basketball or it’s about (James’ sons) Bronny and Bryce and (Wade’s sons) Zaire and Zion and so on. It’s what we do, and what we’ve always done—even before we became teammates, when [there] were articles back then saying, ‘How can these guys be so close and still compete against each other?’ “
He said they may even speak more than they did before they teamed up, “just because we’re used to leaning on each other a little bit. It’s still good to reach out to a person and talk.”
Glad to see a trade didn’t stop their bromance LOL JK but really glad they’re still cool & cordial…
