Few photos in NBA history are as iconic as the one that Miami Heat fans are celebrating on Thursday.
Dwyane Wade hopped on Twitter to post the picture of his former teammate LeBron James catching serious air after a smooth pass from him.
The play took place on December 6, 2010, and has been replayed and talked about often since then.
“Lob or no look bounce pass?” Wade asked his followers.

Of course, anyone who watched the Heat play the Milwaukee Bucks on that night knows that the play was a no-look bounce pass.
After grabbing possession of the ball, Wade made his way down the court and found James behind his back.
He passed the ball to James with total ease and then extended his arms in a celebratory fashion that said it all.
Wade didn’t even glance behind him as James scored the two points, only adding to the cool factor of the moment.
That night was a big one for Wade, James, and their teammate Chris Bosh.
It was the initial time all three players performed together in Milwaukee, just months into their first season together as such an anticipated group.
It was their first of many years together, and it ultimately ended with them appearing in the Finals.
They didn’t win the championship in 2010-11 but they would triumph in the following two seasons.
Throughout their time together, Wade and James were known for their chemistry and ability to read one another and work in tandem.
This famous photo from their game against the Bucks is the perfect encapsulation of that legendary partnership.
