NBA superstar LeBron James has had multiple iconic moments throughout his long career, with many of them coming during his time with the Miami Heat. One of his more famous moments came back in 2010 when he was playing alongside star Dwyane Wade.
James threw down a ferocious dunk against the Milwaukee Bucks but it was the photo captured that made the moment iconic. Wade threw his hands up after his pass to James and the photo captured the sequence perfectly.

Many have believed that Wade threw James a lob pass but in fact, it was a bounce pass that James caught in stride. The former star broke it all down and set the record straight on the moment while on 'Trophy Room with Candace Parker'.
"It don't matter how many times I say this. People don't understand that was not a lob. I didn't throw a lob to LeBron on that play and then I did this 'what' to the crowd and the reason I did that was because we were back in Milwaukee where my jersey was hanging in the rafters as a Marquette player and they was booing us...it was a bounce pass. It would have been a crazy lob though."
The two-star players had a lot of great moments together while in Miami, winning two NBA titles along the way. In total, the Heat reached the NBA Finals four times with this duo leading the charge.
James and Wade are still very close and their pairing on the court was one of the better duos in recent memory. They complimented each other very well and Wade understood that James needed him to take a step back in terms of leadership for the team to be successful.

Wade has retired from basketball but James is still going strong. James currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers and is in the middle of his 22nd season in the NBA.
James hasn't slowed down and is doing things on the court that nobody ever thought was possible. While he may not be the same player as he was when he played alongside Wade, James is still at the top of the league in terms of talent.
