WATCH: LeBron James and Dwayne Wade almost recreate historic Miami dunk
LeBron James and Dwayne Wade share a special bond with each other, having won 2 NBA titles together in Miami.
Wade is currently in his final NBA season and was included in the All Star game by Adam Silver.
Wade and LeBron were on the same team for one final time tonight and the duo made it count, as ‘Team LeBron’ romped to a brilliant win over ‘Team Giannis’.
Ahead of the weekend, Wade had told the reporters that he had just one wish from the All-Star weekend, and that was lobbing one up for LeBron to dunk it home.
The duo have an iconic image from their Miami days when Wade lobbed it up and LeBron came up with a brilliant dunk(with Wade celebrating in the background).
Wade managed to get his wish fulfilled today, as he was able to lob one off the board for LeBron to bank it home.
Check out the video:

Kevin Durant ended up with the All-Star MVP after an impressive performance for ‘Team LeBron’.
Team Giannis’ were in the lead after the 1st half, but couldn’t really find the intensity during the last 2 quarters.
LeBron James upped the ante for his team, and his team responded spectacularly, coming up with some brilliant offensive plays when it mattered to win the 2019 All-Star game.
Dwayne Wade had his one final All-Star night and he will remember that lob and dunk play all his life.
