The Miami Heat Guard was presented Thursday in the second part of ESPN in its three-part series chronicling the imminence of Paul George. The All-Star striker has officially retired from the last season of his contract with Oklahoma City Thunder.
The segment with Wade was recorded in Los Angeles, where Wade spends parts of his off-season and where George is from George, having long expressed the desire to play for his hometown of Lakers.
In the piece, George tells Wade, "I'm in this position now where I'm trying to figure out the direction I want to follow, Like what, what would you do in this situation? "
It was at this point that Wade reflected on the free agency 2010, when he, LeBron James and Chris Bosh met to form a Heat Big Three that progressed to the end. four consecutive NBA finals from 2011 to 2014, with championships in 201 2 and 13.
"For me, it was not money," said Wade. It was not a question of winning, but many people do not believe it, many people think we have already installed it. "Bron called and said," What are you thinking about? said, "I want to win championships, I'm tired of getting eliminated in the first round." And then, he went from there to say: "Yo, let's do it together"
