On August 13, 2023, former NBA superstar Flash Wade was officially inducted into the NBA Smith Basketball Hall of Fame at the age of 41. At another important moment in Wade's life, LeBron James, once one of the Heat's Big Three, was absent again at the historical moment when the Heat retired Wade's No. 3 jersey.
Suddenly, insults, suspicions, slanders, and yin and yang invectives against James among NBA fans around the world were overwhelming.
So what is the real reason? According to foreign media reports, the real reason why James did not attend the Wade Hall of Fame was to attend a friend's birthday party.
However, LeBron James posted a post congratulating his former comrade-in-arms Wade on being inducted into the Hall of Fame, but Wade did not buy it. Wade replied that I had all the honors I had won with my own hands, not by the help of others. He also said that James had abandoned him when he ran out and was no longer qualified to be his brother. Since then, brotherhood has actually been imposed by fans on their wishful thinking, and the relationship between the two is not as good as fans think.
Personal opinion: LeBron James missed important moments of Wade's playing career twice, as a long-time NBA fan, I expressed incomprehension, although I don't know if the foreign media reports are true, but the three-year two-crown Heat Big Three, James is really biased in doing this, this time, I don't stand on LeBron James' side!
