Anthony was selected as the third overall pick by the Denver Nuggets. Wade was the fifth overall pick by the Miami Heat, while James was the number one overall pick by the Cavs. Whether playing alongside or against each other, they have demonstrated great performances many times throughout their illustrious NBA careers.
