For Carmelo Anthony and retired Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, they’ve de- cided to spend time speaking with one another on Insta- gram Live.
According to Melo, Le- Bron James saved him while their group was swim- ming in the ocean. After a strong current began to pull Anthony out to sea, James jumped off the boat to grab his friend and swim him back to safety.
"I look up and the cur- rent is taking me into the middle of the ocean, oppo- site from the boat," An- thony said. "Then I look up at the boat and I see Bron,
Bron jumps off the boat like he's MacGyver. He jumps off the boat into the water. He was bringing me back with one arm. He's swim- ming with the other arm, and he's carrying in one arm."

That said, Wade believes that him rescuing Carmelo is just as impressive.
"That was special," An- thony said. "He saved my life. Yo Bron, I appreciate that. You saved my life that day."
