Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem tell a story of them wanting to fight Gary Payton during the 2006 championship run:
D-Wade: “we had a moment in game 4 in Chicago…this night he said something that got under his teammates skin and I just lost it…this moment I wanted all the smoke…we were going at it even to the point where this went to the locker room…”
UD: “I hoped we didn’t have to jump this old man…we had to get separated — Riles kicked us both out of practice — he made me leave 2nd because Gary was waiting to hit me with a bat in the back…”
