LeBron began his career in Cleveland with the Cavaliers, but didn’t win his first titles until moving to the Miami Heat.
Stephen A. credited these titles to LeBron’s teammate Dwyane Wade, saying he transformed him.
“If it weren’t for Dwyane Wade, I could legitimately argue there never would have been a Kyrie. [Irving]”, said Stephen A..
“LeBron didn’t know how to win until he got to Dwyane Wade. Let’s call it what it is.”

Stephen A’s entire argument revolved around the fact that Wade was a more impactful teammate for LeBron than Kyrie Irving.
“It’s a fact. It’s a fact. You can debate it all you want,” Stephen A. said.
“Kyrie is spectacular, Kyrie is sensational. I’m not questioning anything about Kyrie’s greatness.
“I’m just saying that about four years before there was another guy, and this guy came along when LeBron James was so distorted.
“He didn’t want to go to the free throw line, he didn’t want to make potential game-winning shots in the All Star Game.”
Fans didn’t really care about Stephen A’s arguments about Irving, but they were more upset about his opinion about LeBron.
“Lebron didn’t know how to win it’s crazy,” said one fan.
“This man is still going downhill,” said another fan.
“Screaming A Smith back with another clown take,” said a third fan.
“There goes the SAS hating as always,” said a fourth fan.
“Wade has nothing to do with Lebron’s greatness. Lebron literally took Wade for two chips,” said a fifth fan.

Although LeBron didn’t win any titles with the Cavaliers in his first seven-year stint with the team, it’s hard to say that was his fault.
He won the rookie of the year award and two MVP awards with the team during that period.
The Cavaliers also made the playoffs in five of those seven years and immediately missed the playoffs the next four years LeBron was in Miami.
LeBron was a different beast with the Heat, winning two MVPs in four years and finishing second and third the other two years.
Still, crediting Wade for his success is a somewhat far-fetched idea by Stephen A.
