Ex-Miami Heat star guard Dwyane Wade was asked by Sports Illustrated if his former Heat teammate LeBron James evolved as a scorer in Miami:
“Yes,” Wade said. “First of all, I mean, he was young. He did seven years in Cleveland. He came in as 18 years old, right, so he’s still so young. And he came to Miami right in that time where really you think LeBron has exceeded this. You think that’s the best time you’re going to get as a professional athlete from 25 to 29. Those are the prime years. And so we were lucky to get him in his prime years. But the thing about LeBron is he’s a sponge. And so he will not allow anybody to be better than him at anything.”
