How Kobe Bryant changed the game for the NBA after winning his 5th championship ring

Without knowing it, the late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant changed things in the NBA after winning his fifth championship ring with the purple and gold.

The league was dominated by Bryant, and after his last win, the Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade had had enough and took the phone to call one of the greatest players of all time, LeBron James.

Recently, Wade sat down with Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay show for YouTube and discussed how Kobe Bryant winning his fifth championship ring made him recruit the best player in the league, LeBron James.

At that point in LeBron's career, he was without a championship ring, and after Bryant's dominance, he moved from Cleveland to Miami and was able to win two championship titles with Wade, then returned to the Cavs, won another ring and after that signed with the Lakers once Bryant was already retired, winning his fourth and final championship title to the moment.

Dwyane Wade was pissed with LeBron James returning to Cleveland after Miami

Wade opened up about the time LeBron James told him he was leaving Miami to return to Cleveland. While Dwyane was all support to his teammate and friend, Wade also revealed he was pissed with the situation as he wanted to return to Miami with LeBron in pursuit of a third title together.
