It's going to be an emotional night at Staples Center on Monday, as Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade faces off against his best friend, Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James, for the final time in the NBA.

Dwyane Wade announced before the season started that this will be his final season in the league. The future Hall of Famer and LeBron James were part of the legendary 2003 Draft class that also consisted of Carmelo Anthony and Chris Bosh.

Wade and James played with the Heat for four seasons from 2010-2014 and went to four-straight NBA Finals, winning two and losing two. D-Wade and The King then reunited for a bit last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the two stars weren't able to rekindle the magic they had together in South Beach. The Cavs ended up trading Wade to the Heat at the February trade deadline.
