LeBron James responded to Dwyane Wade's comments about him
During LeBron James' interview with Rachel Nichols, he admitted that he is definitely the cheapest NBA player in history.
The Cleveland Cavalier's top player even revealed that he does not use any apps on his mobile phone to avoid charges. As per Dwyane Wade, James even does not use his phone unless he is on WI-FI connection.
“That is so, so, so, so false ... ly true," James responded. "That is so falsely true. I am not turning on data roaming. I am not buying no apps. I still got Pandora with commercials.”
As per reports, James is refusing to pay the small amount of $4.99 a month for Pandora. However, he is still using the mobile app for music streaming for free, even if it comes with advertisements.

Aside from that, he has a total of $1 billion lifetime deal with Nike.
Will Wade and King James part ways next year?
Perhaps, Wayde and James have been friends for so long that they know each other very well. But will their friendship go on the way of their career now that James is going to become a free agent next year?
Now that the two NBA players are heading an all-new basketball season soon, the players of Cleveland Cavaliers know that they might have tough games to face next year.
Reports claimed that fans believe the best team he has acquired in his career, yet rumors are still making the rounds that he might depart his hometown once more.
"I think he loves it here," said Wade told Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com in an interview. "I could see his mood and being around these guys and everyone that's here.
Obviously, we've gotta win ball games, everything's gotta go right and we gotta stay together to continue to have that mood, but right now he's in a great place."
It is still unsure if James will leave the Cavs next year, but if he does not, then it would be a great news to his fans.
Rumors are making rounds that LeBron James might choose Los Angeles Lakers next year. However, this is yet to be confirmed by King James anytime soon.
