NBA History: 5 greatest duos in the league since 2000

#3 LeBron James & Dwyane Wade

The camaraderie off the court translated into impeccable chemistry on the court.

After giving his all to the Cavaliers during his first seven seasons, James decided he had to jump ship in order to win rings or make an impact at the level he deserves. In 2010, "The Decision" to join Wade in Miami (who had already won his first ring in 2006 and proven himself) was met with intense scrutiny from media and fans alike, but nobody seemed to foresee what lied ahead.

After a catastrophic letdown in 2011, the Wade-James connection (with some crucial assistance from Chris Bosh) bounced back to win back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013. Classmates of the 2003 NBA draft, their bond only grew stronger with time and their on-court communion continued to break the heart and souls of the opposition for all the years they clicked.

LeBron continued on his redemption path back to Cleveland in 2014, while Wade, Bosh and Haslem resigned with the Heat.
