Dwyane Wade trusted to be ‘leading man’ again for the Heat — for better or worse | Miami Herald

Dwyane Wade has come full circle, and not just because he’s back with the Miami Heat.

After nearly two seasons away and playing more of a supporting role behind stars such as Jimmy Butler in Chicago and LeBron James in Cleveland, Wade is being counted on once more to deliver the big shots late for the Miami Heat.

“Not really something I’ve thought about,” Wade said. “In Chicago, Jimmy [Butler] was the guy there. And then Cleveland, I’m not even close to being the guy there. But as an athlete, you always got to be prepared for what’s to come and I’ve always tried to star best in whatever role is asked from me.
