Dwayne Wade is LeBron James' best ever teammate



Throughout the years, D-Wade and LeBron have had a great relationship, which has also resulted in two titles with the Miami Heat back in 2012 and 2013. The duo is also really good friends outside of the courts, together with Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony. This offseason Dwayne Wade was bought out by Chicago, and so he finally signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers a $ 2.3M contract to reunite with LeBron James and make another run at an NBA championship.

LeBron with Dwayne has been effective over the years, when they played together, have offered the fans real highlight plays, alley-oop dunks, powerful dunks, assists, clutch shots and titles, and 'The Flash' has actually shared the court with the 'King' for 2,754 playoff minutes, the most by any of James' teammates.

Most minutes on the floor with LeBron.

LeBron James and Dwayne Wade will play as teammates for the fifth year, after the four years, they led Miami to the NBA Finals. Dwayne Wade's main reason for joining the Cavs was the run at the championship for perhaps the last time in his career, the starting spot they promised to give him, and one of his best friends, and teammates LeBron James.

Dwayne Wade will also become the sixth player to appear in a game as a teammate of LeBron James with both the Cavaliers and the Heat after, Chris Andersen, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, James Jones, DeAndre Liggins and Mike Miller.

Dwayne Wade's interesting stat



Dwayne Wade played for the Chicago Bulls last season, and together with Jimmy Butler led the team to the playoffs where they were eliminated by the Boston Celtics. D-Wade averaged 18.3 points per game. Over the last season, Wade was effective from the field, but the injuries he had the past years have slowed him down. This summer, he was bought out by Chicago, and he finally joined the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James for $ 2.3M. A natural born scorer, a champion, a clutch player, who has a winning mentality, experience and talent combined are the things he can provide and give to this Cleveland team.

D-Wade also made history last year, by doing the following:

Since his second year in the NBA, D-Wade has scored 22 points per 36 minutes in every season but one. He’s the 8th player to do that 12 times.
