Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade says his pal, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, scoring 51 points against the Heat on Sunday in his house was “disrespectful.”
Wade didn't play against the Lakers, as he was away from the team tending to his wife and newborn baby. The future Hall of Famer, who is back with the team now, says he didn't send LeBron a congratulatory text.
Wade called LeBron scoring 51 in his house, with No. 3 not there, “disrespectful.” No congratulations text was sent, of course.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade played four seasons together with the Miami Heat. Along with Chris Bosh, Wade and James went to four straight NBA Finals, winning two and losing two. The duo also played together with the Cleveland Cavaliers last season before the Cavs traded Wade to the Heat at the 2018 February trade deadline.
LeBron said he was disappointed he wasn't able to play against Wade on Sunday. The last time the two friends will have a chance to see each other on the court will be at Staples Center when the Heat travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers.
In nine games this season, Wade is averaging 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists while shooting 45.0 percent from the field, 41.7 percent from beyond the arc and 59.3 percent from the free-throw line. The 36-year-old is coming off the Heat's bench.
Miami enters Tuesday with a record of 6-10.
