One of the most well-known friend groups in all of sports is the quartet of LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and Dwyane Wade.
These four are commonly referred to as the ‘Banana Boat’ due to a famous viral photo of them on a vacation together.
James, Anthony, Paul, and Wade have also banded together to speak out on social issues, and have maintained a great friendship since three of them were selected in the 2003 NBA Draft. Part of what has kept their friendship alive and well through all their years on different teams is the experiences they’ve had as a group.
