BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- Dwyane Wade's final NBA game also marked something else: a reunion of the Banana Boat Crew.
Moments before Wednesday night's game at Barclays Center between Wade's Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets tipped off, LeBron James, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony exited the arena's underground elevator inside a private SUV, and walked into the bowl of the arena just as the night's rendition of the national anthem was being completed.
That meant all three of them were able to get to their seats in the corner of the court across from Miami's bench in time for a tribute video honoring Wade before pregame introductions to be played.
