Friendships in the NBA world can be an everlasting bond. As these brothers toil through a long and varied schedule, they share a lot of time together. One of the best brotherhoods in the league has been forged between LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. The level of mutual understanding between these two is unmatched. It was visible when these two played together and, despite Wade’s retirement, they have continued their camaraderie.

The movie Spiderman-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has captured the hearts of millions of people. The movie also paid homage to these two NBA Greats.

A Spidery tribute to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade 

James and Wade both are known for their popular celebrations. One of their pre-game routines was their boxing handshake. At the time, this celebration found a huge fandom and continues to arrest the memory of many NBA fans. In the aforementioned Spiderman movie, their handshake found a place. This scene immediately reminded the two greats and NBA fans alike about their boxing handshake. This is why James shared the animated movie’s handshake too in his Insta story with emojis 👑X ⚡

The crown symbol refers to Bron’s nickname King James, while the lightning flash is Wade’s nickname Flash. Wade re-shared Bron’s story and wrote “So 🔥” as the caption. Apart from that, he also used 🥊x 🥊 emoji, the boxing gloves which showcase the name of the celebration. This iconic pre-game routine has now found a place in the annals of Hollywood animation and the two stars acknowledged that beautifully. 

This bond finds such a glow because both of these players admired each other before even pairing up in their Miami Heat days. They both were a part of the iconic 2003 draft and their early career pathways were bound to merge at some point. While Wade got a championship in his third season, LeBron couldn’t win one before joining Wade. Flash showed the way to King James and his sacrifices translated into something special.
