Dwyane Wade Laments Impact Of Injuries On LeBron James’ First Season With Lakers

LeBron James will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season in Cleveland. He came to Los Angeles to make the big game, but failed to do so. It wasn’t his mistake. It was nobody’s mistake. Dwyane Wade knows what happened in the past few months.

Wade talked about LeBron’s debut with the Lakers. He knows him better than anyone else, and these comments make a perfect sense.

“LeBron’s not a guy that is accustom to losing and not making the playoffs. Obviously, man, those 18 games that he was out hurt with them, it’s kind of a wash. You can’t even really talk about him not making the playoffs, because of that. They was the fourth seed when he went out. It’s unfortunate.

“People are trying to attack him a lot from the standpoint of age. It’s no secret that he’s getting older, he’s going to get older every year. It’s no doubt that you’re not the same person you was, but he’s still great. If this is a bad year for him — this is a bad year for him? MVP’s get this kind of year. He’s had an MVP-type of year. I think he understands the scrutiny that comes with being LeBron James. Whether he comes out and talks about it or not, he’s driven by something different. That’s why he’s so great. He helps ratings for TV. He knows that. It doesn’t stop nothing. He continues to approach the game the way he approaches it.

“Having a year out there in the Western Conference, it is tough. You can’t miss time, you can’t miss games like he missed. So hopefully, going forward, he doesn’t have that.”

Let’s hope that things will go easy for the king next season. He made a promise to the Lakers nation, and it means the world to us.
