Wade did something that a lot of stars would not have done to make this title happen.

He sacrificed, and sacrificed a lot. He left about $20 million in salary on the table in owner Micky Arison's office to make sure that James, Bosh, Udonis Haslem, Mike Miller and others could be squeezed under the cap two summers ago. He turned over the role of team go-to guy to James, the player that even Wade will acknowledge is better.
