Dwyane Wade and LeBron James

Retired NBA legend Dwyane Wade was one of the most touted players in the league during his playing days. He had one of the best times of his playing career with the Miami Heat franchise alongside NBA superstar LeBron James.

The duo was then accompanied by a third star, Chris Bosch, with their trio named ‘The Big 3’ by the NBA community. Wade recently opened up about his past and offered intriguing insight into James. In a recent interview on “The OGs Show,” Wade reviewed the conditions surrounding the 2010 free agency period.

I was actually leaving Miami at that time because I didn’t think there is nobody out there to get us to that level…I wanted to be part of a team that could win, and for me, that would be my hometown team(Chicago Bulls)…I’m going to Chicago… but I got that call man, I got that call from #6(LeBron James).

Dwyane Wade said

Wade was hinting at James in the podcast as he wore the No. 6 jersey during his time with the Heat. The Big 3 were a menace for their opponents during their playing years. They proved to be one of the best trios in NBA history.
