LeBron James may be Dwyane Wade's close friend and former teammate, but Wade's allegiances are with the Miami Heat for the NBA Finals.
Responding to a tweet by Magic Johnson, Wade shared that he'll be cheering for the Heat to win the Larry O'Brien Trophy over James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Game 1 of The Finals is set for Wednesday night.
