Dwyane Wade opened up about his friendship and relationship with the late Kobe Bryant.

“Early on Kobe didn’t have a lot of relationships. I got a chance to build one with the respect of Kobe. I could call him anytime and vice versa. That’s one of the relationships that I’m proud of. To be able to have one with one of my fave players of all time was special,” Wade said during his Bleacher Report’s Live AMA session.

Bryant died in a helicopter crash on January 26.
