Dwyane Wade Talks Retirement, Jimmy Butler, LeBron James, & More With Complex Sports

I saw you tweeted about LeBron earlier this week, getting at how everyone was calling him washed last season even when he averaged 27/8/8. What’s it been like watching him so far this season? – Complex Sports

“I think he’s proven in year 17 that he’s still one of the best basketball players on this planet. There’s a lot of storylines out there about that guy and he’s bought into it. He hashtags #WashedKing. He plays into it [laughs]. But, man, we all know how great he is. I’m happy for him, man. He’s keeping the legacy of the 2003 Draft going.” – Dwyane Wade 

It’s hard to believe that people anticipated a down year from LeBron James after coming back from a season which he missed the playoffs for the first time in 13 seasons.
