Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks legends Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki are set to join the Hall of Fame Saturday.

 Ahead of the date, the All-Time greats decided to spend some time together filming a video using a filter, which asked them to choose who was better at certain attributes.

During the video, Wade and Nowitzki direct their heads left or right to signify who’s better.

They agree on the first three questions, tilting their heads right to select Wade. The questions were: who is the better passer, has better court vision and better dribbling skills? This should not be up for debate considering Wade was a 6-foot-4 shooting guard while 7-foot Nowitzki played power forward.

The fourth question is where the Mavericks legend became hesitant to decide. The question pertained to who was the better scorer. Wade immediately chose Nowitzki. On the other hand, he can be seen debating between the two, eventually landing on Wade. Both players were phenomenal scorers but from a Wade was better from a career standpoint (22.0 points to 20.7). 

The following two questions were agreed on, with Wade having the better defensive skills while Nowitzki is "more likely to hit a deep three." This was followed by a nickname-related question where they both chose Wade’s nickname, Flash.

The video concludes with a pregame ritual question, to which the pair simultaneously say, "I don’t have one."

During their careers, the legends split two matchups in the Finals. It’s nice to see such a friendly moment between the two soon-to-be first-ballot Hall of Famers.
