The 2003 NBA Draft class is among the greatest in league history.
This draft saw LeBron James go No. 1 overall and he was one of the highest-rated prospects of all time.
Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Carmelo Anthony were also taken in the top five, solidifying the greatness of the class.
Wade was recently inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.
Per a short video captured by Rachel Nichols, Anthony, and Chris Paul joined Wade on this historic night.

Although Paul wasn’t drafted until 2005, he and Wade developed a special relationship throughout their shared time in the league.
Paul is still playing and is the only one of this trio that is still active.
He and Anthony are likely Hall of Famers but aren’t eligible to be selected at this time.
The 2023 Hall of Fame ceremony was star-studded and included other former players such as Allen Iverson in attendance.
During Wade’s speech, he had nothing but good things to say about Iverson, who wasn’t ever a teammate, but someone he greatly looked up to.
Paul and Anthony are two other players that he has a lot of respect for, and their camaraderie was on full display before the event.
While the NBA is an intense league that is filled with rivalries, players come together when it matters most.
During his time in the NBA, Wade worked tirelessly to try and beat Paul and Anthony when their teams faced off.
When the game was over, a completely different side of these players came out, given their standing as NBA elites.
