Ahead of the Hall of Fame ceremony, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade shared a fun moment between friends and former teammates.
Both James and Wade were part of the 2008 Olympic team that brought the gold back to Team USA after a bronze medal finish at the 2004 Olympics. Wade and James were both younger players on the 2004 team, and did not play as big of a role as they did in 2008.
Since the 2008 Olympics, Team USA has won five straight gold medals. Prior to 2004, Team USA had won three straight gold medals starting with the 1992 'Dream Team.' Before this weekend, the Dream Team was one of only two Team USA men's basketball squads, including the 1960 team, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

That Spain team had numerous players with NBA experience in Pau Gasol , Marc Gasol , Jose Calderon , Juan Carlos Navarro, Rudy Fernandez, Ricky Rubio , Jorge Garbajosa and Raul Lopez.
As far as the NBA goes, James and Wade were teammates for four years with the Miami Heat from 2011-2014. They would make it to the NBA Finals in all four seasons, winning it all in 2012 and 2013. The duo would reunite with the Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2017-18 season.
