LeBron James, Luka Doncic recreate iconic basketball photo
A great photo of LeBron James and Luka Doncic has gone viral, and it evoked memories of another famous basketball photo for many fans.
Doncic fed James with a no-look pass behind his back during the second quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ 134-127 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. After seeing James raise up for the dunk, Doncic was able to look away, knowing the result would likely be an easy basket for the Lakers.

The result was a great photo:
The photo immediately brought up comparisons to the great picture of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combining for a similar basket when they were teammates on the Miami Heat.

Miami Heat fans are probably very protective of their heroes and dismiss the comparisons of the photos. But any reasonable fan should easily see the similarities.
