Cleveland Cavaliers: Dwyane Wade knows LeBron James is unguardable

Dwyane Wade, who was teammates with LeBron James for four seasons in Miami, recently said that the 4x NBA MVP is unguardable.

LeBron James has been both criticized over his NBA career and given high praise, but when it’s all said and done, our generation of fans will look back and realize that we watched a legend. It’s not just his numbers, but his character, his personality, and his ability to transform the game as we know it. That is why James will go down in the NBA Hall of Fame as one of the all-time greats.

Dwyane Wade recruited LeBron James to Miami, where the duo won two championships in four seasons. From 2010-2014, these two ruled the NBA with an iron fist, setting the bar high for any other contenders.

Now, playing for the Chicago Bulls, Dwyane Wade still understands the greatest that James has shown this generation.

James first came into the NBA in the 2003-2004 season.

That season he averaged 20.9 points per game. James is one of just 49 NBA players to ever average 20+ points per game in their rookie season with the most recent one being Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers. He is one of only six active players to do it with Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, Tyreke Evans, and Carmelo Anthony rounding out that list.

Since then, LBJ has averaged over 30 points per game twice in a season and over 25 points per game in every season. His elite, volume scoring is something that often times goes unnoticed from the King’s critics.

James is much more than a scorer. He is a defender, a passer, and a rebounder. James is honestly a generational player because of his ability to do everything at such a high volume. After his rookie season, James has averaged over 6 assists and 6 rebounds per game each season.

Most players have a career-year if they put up 25/6/6, but James does it regularly. He is a once-in-a-lifetime talent, and like Wade said, we need to just enjoy the time we have with King James.
