LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were friends since the 2003 NBA draft when they were drafted to the league. James went to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Wade to the Miami Heat. When James chose to take his talents to the South Miami, Wade had already established a strong skill set, he was one of the best shooting guards and was comfortable with the franchise.

Wade knew that LeBron was in his prime but still had a lot to prove and accomplish, so Wade took the co-driver seat and let James lead the team and became his partner, while Chris Bosh was on the back seat. They both knew each other's game and their chemistry was great which we all witnessed on the court. During their four years together, Wade averaged 21 PPG, 5 RPG, and 5 APG.
