Dwyane Wade recently made a humorous and lighthearted comment about LeBron James‘ iconic “Not 1, Not 2, Not 3…” speech during an appearance on The OGs show, bringing back memories of one of the NBA’s most unforgettable moments. When the Miami Heat introduced their new Big Three—LeBron, Wade, and Chris Bosh—in 2010, LeBron famously declared that they weren’t just aiming for one championship but for multiple titles, confidently counting up as the crowd roared.
“Let’s run that tape who was it again. It’s one voice and look at the one in the middle laughing like young boy over here was talking… he was feeling the moment… look I look put my head down, look I put my head down, ‘I’m like hey man look now I’mma supportive teammate.'”
“I’m my rubbing my knee I’m like ‘Oh I don’t know if I got that much… He trippin’, look I ain’t said a word… That was that supposed to have been a moment that was just for our fans and it should not have been the world should not have seen.”
“That’s something that you say internal, you know what I mean? We going to win every year but really you know how hard it is to win one year. I don’t care what kind of talent you have so that’s why I was sitting there like oh my man don’t know yet.”
“But he did go to the Finals 10 years in a row though. He damn sure didn’t like about how many opportunities. He almost did it, he ain’t lie… Listen, we went 4, he went 10.” (35:37)
Wade made a small slip-up in his recollection, mistakenly saying LeBron went to the Finals “10 years in a row.” In reality, LeBron appeared in 8 consecutive Finals and made 9 Finals appearances in 10 years, an incredible feat in its own right and one unmatched in the modern NBA era.
During that span, LeBron won 4 NBA titles across three different teams: the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Los Angeles Lakers. His run with the Heat alone earned him two championships alongside Wade and Bosh, but LeBron’s legacy was solidified as he continued to dominate the league for nearly a decade, consistently leading his teams to the Finals.
Through his humor, Wade’s comments reflect both the intensity of those early Heat years and the larger-than-life personality of LeBron James. The “Not 1, Not 2, Not 3…” speech may have brought on intense scrutiny, but it also set the tone for what was one of the most electrifying teams in NBA history.
Wade’s playful recollection captures the spirit of that time, showing his deep friendship with LeBron while respecting the daunting challenge they took on together.
