Dwyane Wade shared a story about LeBron James' crazy pool antics

Dwyane Wade is a close friend of LeBron James and the two have shared their moments together on and off the court. After they lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 Finals, James had a hard time coping up and almost put his career at risk with one insane pool jump.

"My wife was out on the balcony when Bron [James] and Savannah came up. ... We out there looking at the pool, chilling. No lie. ... LeBron came in say, 'What's up?' Looked down, there was a pool down there. He said, 'How deep do you think that is?' '8-9 feet.' He said, 'Let me see.'"
"Took his stuff off and jumped into the pool from the balcony. I promise you. This dude is crazy."
"He didn't think about that. He just jumped into the water. I'm serious. Jumped into the pool from the balcony. That's how crazy the time was, that's how crazy where his mind was."
