Dwyane Wade has hilarious suggestion to stop Luka Doncic-LeBron James pick-and-roll

Imagine Luka Doncic and LeBron James were around the same age, the LA Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks trade would have given the Lakers an unprecedented dominance for at least a decade. However, James is aged 40 and Doncic is 25.

However, James' former championship teammate Dwyane Wade still thinks that the Lakers duo can be dangerous in pick-and-roll situations.

During the "Trading Places" episode of his podcast "DwyaneWade," the former Miami Heat superstar was asked about his strategy to defend their pick-and-roll. Wade hilariously replied that prayer would be the best defense.

"You pray," Wade replied drawing a big laughter from guests (Timestamp: 31:10). "God, If you can hear me in this large a** arena, please lose the ball off his foot. You can’t stop that!"

While most of the league is busy calculating the winner and the loser of the trade, for Wade, this is a big win for the game, the NBA and people like him.

"For the game of basketball, for the game of the NBA, for us guys who got the microphone...thank you for this," Wade said.

The presence of a superstar like Luka Doncic on a team like the Lakers makes a big story for the league. Wade also added that the presence of Doncic with "the King" will make a great story for the league.

Although only time will tell, it seems like the NBA just got the story that it was looking for the last few years. Moreover, in the race to find the next face of the league after LeBron James, it seems like Doncic has just placed himself in a perfect spot.
