LeBron James believes Dwyane Wade is the leading candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year Award

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James believes that his teammate Dwyane Wade is the leading candidate for the Sixth Man of the Year Award right now after his early success off the bench: "He's probably the number one candidate," James said after Saturday's shootaround. "Not even being biased, that's one of my best friends. Just looking at the teams."

Wade has been averaging 11.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game this season.
