Max Kellerman says LeBron doesn’t deserve criticism for teaming up with Dwyane Wade in Miami to win Rings and it’s not the same as Kevin Durant joining Golden State: “The fact LeBron was thought so highly of, as was Dwyane Wade, the sense was if you put 2 of... the top 3 players in the world together, you’re trying to make sure you can’t lose. Then with Bosh and Pat Riley, you’re giving yourselves an unfair advantage. What people found was, it’s so hard to win a championship, in retrospect they went to 4 straight and won 2. They didn’t win 4 in a row. It’s not the same as what KD did. LeBron does not deserve the criticism. The championships he won were as valid as any that anyone ever won.” (Via Game Over)show more

Charles Barkley reaction to LeBron James joining the Heat in 2010: “I was disappointed. I wanted LeBron to stay in Cleveland. I think it’d be a lot more significant and important to win a championship in Cleveland than in Miami if he wins it…. If I was 25, I’d try to win it by myself. I would make sure I was THE guy on the team…. LeBron is never going to be the guy. Dwyane Wade has already won the championship. So, it’s his team…. It’s not like he was playing on a bad team. I wish he would’ve tried to win by himself as THE guy” (Via NBATV 2010)

Kevin Durant on the Dwyane Wade vs James Harden debate “That 1st chip Wade won and the style was insane. Everything was downhill, P&R to the cup, I’m scoring tonight. Who that sound like? James Harden. He played that same style. He didn’t have that moment D Wade had. Pat Riley, Miami Heat organization. A lot worked in D Wade favor for him to win that championship. I feel like they both are winning players. D Wade didn’t have to do as much for the last 2 championships” (Via Unguarded)

Stephen A Smith believes Dwyane Wade was LeBron’s BEST teammate ever because he taught LeBron how to win: “He (LeBron) was not a champion, didn’t know how to win. The bottom line is from a Psychological perspective there was so many things LeBron had to overcome. Dwyane Wade wasn’t just his teammate. Dwyane Wade was his big brother… Dwyane Wade played a pivotal role in helping LeBron learn how to win and helping LeBron become his absolute best.” (Via First Take)

Tim MacMahon says LeBron would also not win without Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis in response to Rich Paul: “If you unplug Dwyane Wade from the Miami Heat, LeBron doesn’t win titles there. If you unplug Kyrie from the Cavaliers, they don’t come back 3-1. If you unplug Anthony Davis from the bubble Lakers, they don’t win a championship.”

Rich Paul and Max Kellerman on the Heat big 3 not being as dominant as they should’ve been: “They weren’t unbeatable as they should’ve been. They won 2 chips, and went to 4…. The thing about that 4 year run with the Heat, they were so top heavy with Bosh, Bron, and Wade in terms of salary. Each year you had to scratch and claw for different guys to come in. You had to convince somebody to play in Miami to get a championship at the expense of them only getting $2.4M.” (Via Game Over)

Nick Wright admits Dwyane Wade would’ve won finals MVP in 2011 if the Heat won: “In the finals he averaged 27, 7, 5, and was the best player on the Heat by far. LeBron was not with it that series. We all know the story there… They lose that series, but if the Heat managed to win that series, D Wade would’ve been finals MVP that series on a team with LeBron.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Dwyane Wade on teaming up with LeBron and Chris Bosh to chase rings: “We’re about to shift the power in the players hand. We knew that in 2010 as young men we were about to shift the culture…. When we came in they talked about if you don’t win multiple championships, you’re not considered as great. So alright, we have to go get these rings. — No one becomes successful by themselves. You will not see one player in the NBA that’ll say they done it by themselves. Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time in my eyes, he had Scottie Pippen, he had Dennis Rodman.” (Via Complex YT)

Dwyane Wade says he was ‘satisfied’ with how successful the Big 3 were in 4 years: “We came together to win rings. Our goal at that time sitting in that room, we wanted to play together for a long time. You know after 4 years going to the finals each year, the taxing of our body, mentally what we was dealing with everyday. I think for everybody when we broke up it was kind of a breath of fresh air. We won 2 rings in 3 years once we got that first one. So many people that can’t say they won one… We completed our goal by winning multiple championships.”

Stephen A Smith says the biggest issue with LeBron going to Miami, is Pat Riley would get all the credit if they win a championship: “If LeBron James goes to Miami and helps them win in Miami, Pat Riley gets the credit. It’s Pat that went out and got Giannis and then LeBron… the champion is the executive that’s pulled it off again in his 80s.., LeBron is just the latest player he acquired to help elevate their franchise and the Pat Riley mystique. If you know anything about LeBron, he prides himself on being more than that.” (Via Stephen A Smith(

Rich Paul believes it was GOD who stopped LeBron James and Dwyane Wade from winning the 2011 finals: “When they lost in 2011, we went to the Bahamas. D Wade, LeBron and I were talking about how they lost. I was just explaining to both of them like ‘I don’t know why we’re even having this conversation. You actually thought that God was going to allow you to win in that space that you were in? Pretending to be the Villain? You guys aren’t villains. You guys are great people. I know both of you! Hearts big as gold.’ I was like ‘he’s not going to do that because if he allows you to win in that mindset, then that’s who you become down the road.’” (Via Game Over)

Stan Van Gundy explains why Dwyane Wade is better than James Harden: “My argument for Dwyane would be defensive end of the floor he’s better than Harden. At the end of the game there’s no one in the history of the league I would rather have with the last shot than Dwyane Wade. His commitment to winning. He took a step back for LeBron to get a chance to win in a place he already won a championship. He was a dominant force in winning a championship. I’m not sure anybody has had a better NBA finals than Dwyane Wade did in 2006” (Via Zach Lowe)
