LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh teamed up to lead the Miami Heat to back-to-back NBA championships in 2012-13.
The four-year stint, which included four straight trips to the NBA Finals, marked a reunion of three of the top five picks in the 2003 NBA Draft. James was the first player selected that year, followed by Bosh at pick No. 4 and Wade at No. 5.
James is the only player still active from the 2003 draft.
Including James’ four NBA titles, the 2003 draft class has collectively won 27 NBA championships. That’s more than any class since.
