Dwyane Wade is one of the best players in NBA history.

He is also (argubaly) the best teammate that LeBron James has ever had.

Recently, the three-time NBA Champion spoke about Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers (via his Dwyane Wade YouTube channel).

Wade: "Bring Bronny up. We want to see that... As a fan of the game, I'm not looking at the Lakers and saying they're gonna win a championship... We want to see Bronny. This is not a championship team. This is not a championship roster at this point."

Wade's comments got a lot of attention on social media.

Many NBA fans reacted.

@vindubeth: "This is an easy way to ruin Bronny's potential comeback. He's not ready for the NBA, let him build back his confidence in the G league for now."
