Magic Stars Recreated LeBron James and Dwyane Wade’s Iconic Alley-Oop, and NBA Fans Loved It

Dwyane Wade LeBron James Cole Anthony Jalen Suggs Bron NBA Magic

Magic stars Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony recreated one of the most iconic NBA moments in history on Wednesday night vs. the Wizards.

Suggs passed the ball to Anthony, who finished with an alley-oop to make the crowd go wild. Suggs then got in the perfect camera angle to recreate the image of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James’s nearly identical moment from 2010. In the famous image, Wade spreads his arms open as James can be seen dunking the ball behind him.

Fans immediately noticed the homage Suggs and Anthony paid to the former Heat stars with Wednesday’s dunk.

Take a look at the moment from the young Magic stars.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison of the two moments that shows just how similar they are. While the angle isn’t exactly the same, Suggs and Anthony definitely did their best to mimic the iconic image.

Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, couldn’t get enough of Suggs and Anthony’s play on Wednesday night. Check out some of the best reactions.
