The Heat went out of their way to showcase Dwyane Wade as the alpha dog prior to their preseason opener on Tuesday night, but LeBron James isn't ready to defer to his new teammate.

Wade went last in pregame introductions and when the Big Three posed for pictures James and Chris Bosh were on opposite sides of the long-time Heat superstar.

Regardless, LeBron admitted that he can't be a follower.

"I can't defer," James said. "I'm never in defer mentality."

well for now he will be
even if he puts up better numbers, like he will

So basically he is already admitting it's not gonna work because he can't defer because of his huge ego?

I think everything will be fine. A team can have 2 leaders...most teams do.

I think it's good what he is saying. He is the best player on the team, and Wade should be the one who needs to adjust not LeBron. Even if LeBron just got there.

But like DJT said there won't be any problems.

Cause he is a great player, and I love the way he plays the game.
And it's Kobe vs. him all the time, so I decided to stick with LeBron.

I used to hate LeBron, but he's grown on me, now he's my favorite non-Piston lol.

LOL I can't wait until LeBron wants out because Wade maintains control of the team. As much as I dislike Wade and his game, he's 20x the alpha.

Its Wades team, he led them toa ring, he's the reason LeBron and Bosh are there.

And Im sure managment would take Wade over LeBron because of what he's already done for the team

LeBron better learn his role...

I would say its LeBron's team now. Sure Wade is good, but I hate how he is always falling down after every shot. Plus he has more of a history with being injured.

Wade - 1 ring

Lebron - joined Wade to get his ring(s)

I say Wade is just as good if not better then LeBron, but thats just me. Ive always said it.

I'd say LeBron is better all around. Wade spends to much time on the floor.

Rings don't mean squat on how good of a player you are. Crappy players have won rings...

It will be Wade's team until he's retired and then his number is retired. It doesn't matter who the best player is on the team. Jeter ain't the best player on the Yankees, but it will be his team until he hangs them up and they retire his number as well.

I have been convinced for years that LeBron has the mental capacity of a squirrel.

Please dont get it twisted, Wade is no crappy player, so that shouldnt have even been said lol

He was the reason they won a ring, he took that series over. What happend when Lebron got to the finals?

Sweepingtay.

Wade does everything LeBron does, and if he doesnt in your eyes then please name something.

Lebron's has a bad ego. He seems like a total ass when he's being interviewed.

LeBron gets more points, usually. He gets more rebounds, and assists. And more triple doubles than Wade does. Plus he plays more, because Wade has been known to miss because of injuries.
