On Monday, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade decided to hold a half hour Twitter Q&A.
The Q&A was pretty excellent. Wade answered questions ranging from the fairly serious question of what worries him the most:
Not living long enough to see my kids grow up and become parents.. https://t.co/LPY1sH1YcO

To questions on his dad’s Cavalier friendly wardrobe:
Wash it and wear it again and again. He's a basketball fan not just a Heat or DwadeJr fan https://t.co/5cewwiiKrm

Still, Wade saved his best answer for one particular Twitter troll who came hard with this wonderful piece of social media bluster:
@DwyaneWade Do you miss LeBron carrying you

Got ’em.
For the record, during the time that LeBron James was a member of the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade averaged 23.3 points, 5.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game and the Heat won two titles. As great LeBron was over the same timespan (averages of 26.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists), it’s next to impossible to argue that Wade got “carried” to either of the titles that he won with James.
