CARTER WILLIAMS BLASTS WADE

Longtime NBA guard Michael Carter-Williams isn’t inclined to add the word “leader” to Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade’s extensive resume.

Carter-Williams and Wade played together for the Chicago Bulls during the 2016-17 season. The Bulls were hoping that the Big Three of Wade, Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo could make a splash in the Eastern Conference.

Things didn’t go according to plan. Chicago barely made the playoffs in eighth place, and Wade missed time with a broken elbow. Wade and the Bulls agreed to a buyout before the 2017-18 season.

Carter-Williams reflected on his lone season alongside Wade during a recent appearance on FanDuel TV Run it back show. MCW said he believed Wade did not know his role and was in a “difficult position.”

“There were times where he was a leader and talked about his past experiences and tried to make us aware of certain things and try to lead as best as he could,” Carter-Williams said. “And then there were times when maybe we thought he could have been a better leader.”
