CHICAGO -- As he gets set for another showdown against his close friend and former teammate LeBron James, Dwyane Wade acknowledged Thursday that he had to change his game far more than James did during the pairs four years together with the Miami Heat.I definitely changed mine more, Wade said with a laugh after Thursdays practice. Its not even a conversation. Theres no conversation to have. I definitely had to change mine more.Wade said that while he and James knew before they decided to join forces in Miami that their respective games would change, it was Wades game that was altered the most. He didnt have to have a conversation with James about it because the answer was obvious to both men.We all knew the sacrifice that was going to be [made], Wade said. Obviously, you sit down and you talk about playing together. You think you know whats [going to happen], you try to cover things in that moment, but then once you start playing together you realize its harder than what you thought. But we all knew we had to sacrifice. Chris Bosh, too. Hes somebody who they dont talk about, he had to sacrifice a lot too. But at the end of the day, we sacrificed points, article hits, but what we gained was championships, friendships and brotherhoods that last a lifetime. So Im sure if we could do it all over again wed do it exactly the same way.Wade, who will be making his first appearance against James in a Chicago Bulls uniform on Friday, doesnt hide from the fact that playing against his former teammate means more to him than most games.Ive always said it: Kobe [Bryant] and LeBron have always been my favorite guys to play against, Wade said. Its just something about those games for me thats always been a little special. I wont be one of those cliché athletes to say its just another game. Its never just another game for me to play against those guys. I just enjoy it more. Simple as that. I enjoy playing against LeBron more than anybody else just because of the things I know hes going to bring to the game. Great people bring greatness out of you. Hes always done that for me and vice versa. I think Ive done it for him. So Ive always enjoyed it.Wade, in his 14th season, didnt rule out the possibility of playing with James again at some point in his career, but he made it very clear how happy he was to be in Chicago.I never thought I would play with LeBron, Wade said. I didnt think it was a possibility at all. I enjoyed the All-Star Games, I enjoyed the Olympics, but I never thought that wed play together. Thats why now I look with younger guys and what they say and stuff like that because you never know what the futures going to hold for you. Just keep your comments to yourself on the future. So I would keep my comments on myself for whatever. For me, Im here and Im happy to be here but I was happy in Miami as well. It just happened. And you never know what happens in this game. So people should never say never on anything.Then Wade leaned closer into the microphones and recorders present at the Bulls practice facility.Thats not saying that I want to play with LeBron [again]. Let me clearly say that. That is not saying that I want to be somewhere that Im not. Thats not saying that at all, but also I understand how this league works, how this thing goes, and people need to know just dont say never, thats all.
