Dwyane Wade squared off against former teammate LeBron James for what will likely be the final time (unless the two meet in the playoffs) in Monday’s game at Staples Center, and he shared a warm embrace with his banana boat buddy during the contest.
James gave Wade a big hug on the court after the Lakers played a tribute video on the jumbotron following the first timeout of the game.
