LeBron James will go down as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. There’s one player he hasn’t passed to become THE greatest of all time, Michael Jordan. After winning 3 NBA championships, 3 Finals MVP awards, 4 NBA MVP awards, 2 Olympic gold medals, a 12-time All-Star, 12 All-NBA teams, 6 All-Defensive teams, NBA Rookie of the Year, NBA scoring champion, the Cavaliers all-time leading scorer and brought them their first NBA championship, you have to think, what else is there left for him to do?! King James still hasn’t passed Michael Jordan because of one magical number, 6. That’s the number of championship rings MJ has. LeBron says chasing Jordan is his latest motivation.
(Video) NBA: Dwyane Wade Explains Conversation He Had With LeBron & CP3 During Free Agency
It was always assumed that Dwyane Wade would play his entire career and retire with the Miami Heat but that isn’t the case. It was initially believed the standoff between him and Heat president Pat Riley was just bluffs and they would eventually come to a deal like before but this time the two sides were off. Wade wanted a two-year, $50 million contract that many consider a ‘Kobe Bryant deal’; i.e a deal to show gratitude and appreciation for the years the franchise player put in, and to keep him happy and on the team. Also, Wade had taken pay cuts in previous years and has never been the highest paid player on the team. It seemed inevitable that he would get that deal but Riley refused to go above two-years, $40 million. During this time, Wade was on vacation with his ‘Brotherhood’ of LeBron James and Chris Paul. They gave him advice on his situation.

They had to be separated a couple times during the series, mainly during game four when Green hit Bron with a low-blow as James stepped over him, setting off a mini-altercation that led to Green being suspended for the following game. After the series ended, Green showed some love to Bron on the court but you could’ve still thought there was some animosity between them but Green says that couldn’t be further from the truth.
