Dwyane Wade and LeBron James may not be teammates in Miami anymore but their friendship is still going strong.
Before the 2016 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians, the two friends decided to make a friendly bet. The loser would have to wear a uniform of the winning team.
Wade obviously had the Cubs and James had the Indians. Well, the Cubs came back from a 3-1 deficit to win their first title in 108 years.
On Friday ahead of the Cavaliers first trip to Chicago to take on the Bulls, James paid up on his bet:
