For Miami Heat player Udonis Haslem, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were among the last guys who he would expect to pay a bill.

While talking on The Dan Le Batard Show, the host asked who in his career, was the most likely to pay for him. After a thought, Haslem said it was Goran Dragic- Haslem’s current teammate in Miami.

The host then asked him the person who was the least likely. This time Haslem didn’t spare a thought. “It’s a tie between LeBron James and Dwyane Wade,” was his immediate response.

“LeBron and Dwyane were the cheapest players I ever played with. Not even close. You gotta understand, these guys ain’t paid for nothing since they were 12,” Haslem said. “When they have to pay for something, they look around like it’s a foreign language.”

“To get those boys [LeBron and Wade] to pay for dinner, you got to play the credit card game.”

Miami Heat’s big three: Leron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh

James and Wade were the same people who had taken a pay cut to form the big three in Miami Heat. While Wade was Heat’s draft pick in 2003, James and Bosh, also members of the 2003 draft class, came into the Heat lineup in 2010.

While the three leading the team, Heat won two consecutive Championships in 2012 and 2013. On both occasions, James won the finals MVP honors. The era of the big three ended when James left Miami in 2014. He went to Cleveland Cavaliers where he won another Championship.

Bosh, meanwhile, ended his career in Miami. He had started his career in 2003 with the Toronto Raptors. After joining the Heat in 2010, he played seven more years in the NBA -all with Miami Heat- before he retired.

On the other hand, Wade who had always played for Miami Heat looked for options elsewhere towards the end of his career. Wade is the leading scorer for Miami Heat yet he has never been their highest-paid player. In 2016, he took the financial matters into consideration and left the Heat for Chicago Bulls. He, however, did not have too many seasons left under his belt. He played a season each for the Bulls and the Cavaliers before ending his career after another season with Miami Heat.
