Despite reaching the NBA Finals for the fourth year in a row, last season was one that Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade would soon like to forget.
During an interview with Bleacher Report, Wade stated that he did not enjoy the 2013-2014 season. It's difficult to imagine anyone not having fun while competing alongside the game's best player - LeBron James, who also happens to be Wade's close friend.

"It was great, you know, we went to the Finals four years in a row, and it was everything we wanted from that standpoint, but sometimes throughout that run, at certain times, it just wasn't fun," Wade said. "Individually, it was great having certain relationships and having my best friend here with me, but all of us didn't have fun all the time.
"I think now I'm at the point where I want to enjoy the game. Because once I've won three championships and been so successful, you've got to have something to play for. And I want to be able to play for my teammates and just the joy of the game."
Wade might find this season a bit more enjoyable because he will surely face a stiffer challenge this upcoming season than he previous four. More is expected of Wade if the Heat are to be competitive this season with James no longer on the roster. The perennial All-Star did not return to Miami during the offseason, opting instead to go back to the Cleveland Cavaliers as an unrestricted free agent.
