LeBron James and Dwyane Wade go way back. They both share a relationship that has survived the better part of two decades.  They have been opponents in the Eastern Conference for 11 years and teammates in the Miami Heat for 4 seasons. Despite many difficulties and with rumors about their drift, they have been there to support each other through thick and thin.

Wade and James made their way into the NBA in 2003. And although Wade retired, LeBron is in his 17th year in the NBA and still very much in his prime.

He just led the Los Angeles Lakers to their 17th Championship after a decade, and it seems like LeBron is thirsting for more.

“But I think if you were in the James family, you’re chosen. And I think Bronny handles it as well as you can handle it as a young kid in the spotlight his entire life, obviously with the name of his father.

“And his basketball talents speak for itself. The kid is a very good player. He’s going to be a professional basketball player one day, and you hope that LeBron James is around. We all want to see that moment.”
