Udonis Haslem: Dwyane Wade used to hate playing against your ass, D-Wade used to hate playing against you. Gilbert Arenas: I hated playing against him! Haslem: D-Wade hated playing against you. Arenas: I don’t know if you ever heard the story. So the beginning of the season started, this is like, it was after the 03-04 season, yeah because he was on the 2004 Team USA and they lost at the Olympics, right? And we’re coming into the 04-05 season and everybody’s talking about the Heat, you know? Shaq went over there and I said ‘oh yeah we’ll just treat D-Wade like they did him at the Olympics, just play a zone defense’. Then you’re looking at the scoreboards because Miami is coming close, like we got three games ahead, and he’s like 40 points, 45, 45… Did he circle the date against us? Because he’s coming towards us! I called the hotel hey is Dwayne there? Hey man listen yeah this is Gil, hey that stuff I don’t know if you seen it about two weeks ago… I ain’t say it like that right? I just to let you know, right? Then at the warmup he didn’t look like the phone call helped… Then at halftime, Larry Hughes is like ‘hey if you’re gonna start talking sh*t about players, you guard him!’ … That was the last time I ever said anything.
