Many people think that being friends cannot compete with each other, but Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have proven the opposite.

Fifteen years passed so quickly. Now, the 2003 draft duo of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James have faced each other for the final time.

The match ended with a dream ball when the two faced each other in the last ball possession situation with the opportunity to equalize the score in Wade’s hands.

Hoping that LeBron would be fooled, Wade used familiar shots.

Watch now the end of the confrontation between Dwyane Wade and LeBron James:

“We understood each other so well,” Wade recalled about the final ball.

“Just two ‘old guys’ enjoying this game. We like each other and love playing against each other. It’s been 16 years that we’ve been involved in this game, trying to exert our influence on it.” And we did it, both on and off the field.”

LeBron and Wade swapped shirts with each other right after the game ended. On a shirt given to his close friend, Dwyane Wade wrote:

“To number 6 (referring to LeBron during his time in Miami and on the Olympic team). Thank you for always pushing me further than I ever knew possible.”

Both selected in the historic 2003 Draft, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade led the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat to consecutive Eastern Conference finals. The two sides faced off very fiercely until the Boston Celtics appeared with the participation of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and formed a “super squad”.

“In the first 7 years of our careers, we continuously challenged each other, confronted each other, pushing both to the furthest limit” – LeBron James shared.

“When competing, we both always had a premonition that one day, we would come together and fight in the same shirt. That happened when Wade and I became teammates on the US team (at the Olympics). Beijing 2008). During that 37-day period, we realized how compatible we were both on and off the football field.”

That was when the simple friendship between LeBron and D-Wade became one of the deepest friendships in the NBA, which was almost the opposite at a time when mutual hatred was “fashionable”.
