It was written in the Bible
Because he tends to be meticulous, LeBron James did not allow the moment to pass. He said he simply wasn't sure if this might have been his last moment on an NBA court with Dwyane Wade.
That, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward said, is why he lingered for those few extra moments after the Miami Heat's 98-79 victory Tuesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena.
Wade, at 36, hasn't committed to playing beyond this season, but also hasn't ruled it out, stressing that such a decision is best left for the offseason.
"At the end of the game, we just kind of had that moment like 15 years strong -- as brothers, as teammates, as competitors, as teammates again, as competitors again," James, 33, said, having entered the NBA together as lottery picks in 2003.
"But our brotherhood is beyond this game of basketball. You just don't take for granted. You just don't know. We'll see what happens in the summer."
James said he was covering all bases, with Tuesday the third and final meeting between the teams during the regular season.
"Absolutely, absolutely," James said. "Just kind of hearing the narrative since he came here, he's not quite sure what he's going to do next year. He’s going to assess everything."
Wade becomes a free agent July 1, as does James.
