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.

Wade spent at least part of 15 of his 16 NBA seasons in Miami and won three championships there. He recently described himself as the Heat's "ultimate fan" and said he's been enjoying watching the team succeed from afar.

Game 1 of The Finals is set for Wednesday night.
