Dwyane Wade did not know LeBron James was going to pick Miami during 'The Decision': I don't think he was 1000% sure, he was nervous
Dwyane Wade on how he wasn’t sure LeBron was going to pick Miami during ‘The Decision’… “I don’t think LeBron was 1000% sure. Did you see him? He was nervous, we were all nervous. And the reason I had to go watch like everybody else was because Bron went radio silent on me. It was like three days that I didn’t hear from him.”

“Over his career, LeBron has attempted almost twice as many free throws as 3-pointers. In this series, he has taken 28 free throws and 36 3-pointers. (And it’s not because he has been hot—he has only hit six.) That’s just how age works.”–@coachthorpe truehoop.com/p/not-mike-bud… – 3:20 PM

More on this storyline
On vacationing with LeBron after the dramatic loss in the 2011 Finals… Dwyane Wade: “My wife and I were out on the balcony when Bron and Savannah came up… Looked down, there was a pool down there. He said, ‘How deep you think that is?’ ‘Oh eight, nine feet.’ He said, ‘Let me see.’ Took his stuff off, jumped in the pool from the balcony. I promise you… That’s how crazy the time was. That’s where your mind was.” -via YouTube / April 27, 2023
Dwyane wade: “Immediately, right away our conversation was all about how things happened in LA, and how it would not be that way in Miami. All the things they were saying from Penny to Kobe to now me as a shooting guard, he wanted to make sure that that would not be our narrative. And so he put it to bed right away with me on the phone and continued to make sure that he put it to bed when he talked to the media and the way that he presented me to the world. Shaq told me he was going to make me a superstar. And I was like, ‘Well, make me a superstar, big fella.’” -via YouTube / April 27, 2023
For NBA player Dwayne Wade says anti-LGBTQ legislation in Florida is a big reason he moved his family out of the state. In an interview with Rachel Nichols on her “Headliners” show, Wade, a former star of the Miami Heat, was asked about the passage of a raft of anti-LGBTQ legislation by Florida’s Republican legislature and signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. -via OutSports.com / April 27, 2023
