While the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Miami Heat meant close friends LeBron James and Dwyane Wade suiting up against one another for a final time, it also provided Josh Hart with an opportunity to face his idol.
Wade was on paternity leave when the Lakers made their annual visit to South Beach, which saw James unleash a 51-point performance on his former team. He made a modest 28 points on Monday night but nonetheless made for entertaining theater at Staples Center.
After missing a game-tying 3-pointer, Wade chased after the rebound and embraced James as the final buzzer sounded.
