Dwyane Wade has admitted that he is the "second option" for the Miami Heat, reportedly referring to teammate LeBron James.

The 31-year-old was the team's standout performer before James joined the team in 2010, and has now revealed that he also believes he comes behind his colleague, who made his name with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"I'm the second option on this team," Wade told reporters at a press conference in Miami. "Point-blank. Let's say it."

The Heat have won the title twice in three seasons since James and Wade became teammates.
