“We’ve Never Seen a Man Do What LeBron James Is Doing”: Dwyane Wade Praises Former Heat Teammate While Trashing Lakers’ Season
Follow Us
The Los Angeles Lakers have put themselves in a spot no one saw coming. After their early season failures, it was clear, the purple and gold aren’t a deep team. With old age on their side, their defense has been one of the worst in the league. In addition, they have failed to figure out a winning formula throughout the season. With the final few games left, the Lake show’s play-in spot is also in threat. Recently, Dwyane Wade spoke about the team and said he doesn’t see them winning all of a sudden. However, he also had some great praise for his good buddy, LeBron James.
The Lakers have been underwhelming this season. With them ranking 21st in defensive rating, they often see themselves leaking out points. However, one good thing this season has been a historic year for LeBron James. Despite being in his 19th season, the King is leading the NBA in scoring at the age of 37. In addition, he has helped put the Laker in play in contention. But with him out, the purple and gold couldn’t hold on yet again.

He said: “This is a bad year for the Lakers organization. But this is a very good year for one LeBron James. Let’s take out the positives of the season. In his 19th year, we have never seen a man do what LeBron James is doing. So individually, this is a great year for him. He continues to put himself in places that no one else has really gone in this game.”
