Miami went into everything for the 2010-11 season when they traded for LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Both were in the prime of their career and joined Dwyane Wade as part of the big three of Miami. Together, the trio of James, Wade and Bosh made four consecutive NBA Finals performances and won two titles. It was an incredible two -year run for Miami.
During a recent episode of the WY network of DWyane Wade, the triple NBA champion discussed how players are compared. Wade used a 30 -storey hotel analogy to explain it. He said how players such as Bill Russell and Michael Jordan are on the 30th floor. Wade said he might be on the 25th floor, but he will never reach the 30th. The 43-year-old explained how winning an NBA championship is a different kind of success in the NBA.
There are career -undernesting on the road in a long NBA career such as those of Wade. However, the ultimate goal of basketball is to win. For Wade that meant championships. He ended his 16-year-old career as a triple NBA champion. On his podcast, Wade claimed that he could have had better statistics if he could not give up titles.
