LeBron James Sends Message For Dwyane Wade As Heat Retires His Jersey

Dwyane Wade had great success with the Miami Heat, and he won a lot of games with LeBron James. Wade’s Jersey was retired on Friday night, but LeBron couldn’t accompany his friend and former teammate during the ceremony. He couldn’t travel to Miami to support Wade. The Los Angeles Lakers had a game that evening and LeBron was busy winning it.

The king decided to make up for his absence, and delivered an emotional message for his friend as the team raised number 3 in the rafters of the American Airlines Arena.

LeBron said it was inevitable that Miami would retire Wade’s jersey when they picked him fifth overall in the 2003 NBA Draft. The Cleveland Cavaliers made LeBron a No. 1 pick at the same time. In addition to this, LeBron suggested how Wade’s eventual statue would decorate South Beach.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have great relationship

LeBron and Wade have a special relationship with each other and nothing has changed to this day. They are coming from the same draft class and that was enough to build a foundation of their lifelong friendship.

LeBron and Wade became fierce competitors in their early careers and then, they became teammates in Miami. LeBron, Wade and Chris Bosh made one of the greatest trios in NBA history. Together, the Miami Heat Big 3 hit the Finals four straight times and won back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013.

This relationship is still alive, and today, their sons play together. Bronny and Zaire play for Sierra Canyon High School, and they have a bright future ahead.

Wade’s jersey was immortalized in Miami. LeBron’s No. 6 jersey will probably get retired in the future. King James won two titles, a pair of Finals MVP’s, and a couple of regular-season MVPs with Miami.

Greatness is always rewarded, and Wade got his reward. His game was really great, and his career was brilliant. We will never forget the time Wade and LeBron spent together. This time led to many wins, and they sure made one of the best duos in the NBA. Wade decided to call it career, and now he enjoys his post-retirement life. LeBron attended his final game, and it was a game worth watching. We had so much fun, and it will always live in our memories.
