“He Ain’t No Candidate..”: LeBron James Blurts Out Eventuality as Heat Legend Dwyane Wade Nearly Makes NBA History

The 4x NBA champion LeBron James was quick to share his view on the Hall of Fame’s eligibility list for 2023. James’ former Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade became the talking point as some fans questioned his place on the list. However, it is the ultimate honor for any NBA player to get their name carved in NBA history forever. Meanwhile, LeBron James took to Twitter to comment on Wade’s inclusion on the eligibility list.

Both NBA greats made their debuts in the same year. James and Wade were the no.1 and no.5 overall picks, respectively, in the 2003 draft. They have both shared a special bond since then. Furthermore, they teamed up together for the Miami Heat between the 2010-14 seasons, winning two championships during that time.
