Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis recreate the iconic Dwyane Wade, LeBron James dunk photo

Was it intentional?

It’s one of the best sports photos of all time — Dwyane Wade with his arms spread out wide just after getting a pass off to his then-Miami Heat teammate LeBron James, who’s in mid-air about to throw down a vicious dunk.

It’s possible Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is well aware of that shot — and if he was a fan of the game growing up, that makes sense, that photo was everywhere when it was snapped by AP Photo’s Morry Gash — because while he was playing in Mexico City, he appeared to recreate it with teammate Kristaps Porzingis.

First, the play, which is beautiful:

And the comparison, with a shot from a different camera angle:

And the original in all its glory:

So: did Doncic intentionally spread his arms out like that, remembering the Wade-James photo? If so, that’s awesome.
