Wade deserves a lot of credit for how he has handled LeBron’s decision.
It would be understandable if the three-time champion took this decision personally and was upset at LeBron, but Wade clearly has not let James’ move affect their friendship.
Wade: "No question about it, LeBron's one of my closest friends. It's been that way 12 years and it'll be that way long after."

It will undoubtedly be cool to see LeBron and Wade reunite on the basketball court Thursday when the Cavs come to Miami. The two obviously have a great bond and it will be fun to watch them interact now that they are opponents again.
Wade and LeBron were teammates for four years in Miami, winning two championships and making it to the NBA Finals in every season together.
