It's no secret that Dwyane Wade and LeBron James share a special bond.

After officially inking a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this week, the 35-year-old shooting guard revealed what it's like to be back playing with his old Miami Heat teammate.

"It's like peanut butter and jelly, man, we just go together," Wade told Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com.

Wade spent some of his best years with James by his side, as the pair led the Heat to two titles and four consecutive Finals appearances.

"Every time we walk by each other in the locker room and everywhere, we just look at each other and shake our head because it just don't seem real," he said. "It's like, 'How did this happen? How did we get here?' We just start laughing every time we walk by each other.

"It's definitely cool, it's definitely good to have a friend here, somebody that you respect here, that's playing the game here."

Fans will likely get a chance to see the pair play together during next week's preseason contest against the Atlanta Hawks, assuming James is fully recovered from a sore ankle.
