LeBron James reuniting with Heat continues to gain steam

Could LeBron James return to the Heat this offseason? According to an NBA insider, he doesn’t rule out the possibility of a reunion between James and the Heat.

NBA insider Brian Windhorst spoke about how much he admired the Heat organization and said he believes James feels the same.

“I admire the Heat organization so much. And I value the relationships that I created those years, and I look back, and I learned so much covering that team. And I learned so much listening to Pat Riley,” Windhorst said. “… I learned so much about the Heat mentality, which I still have so much admiration for.”

Windhorst went on to say positive things about the Heat: “By the way, I think LeBron might feel somewhat the same, because he still mimics some of the stuff that Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra would say.”

During the 2010 offseason, James made his infamous free agency announcement, “The Decision,” in which he announced on live TV that he would take his talents to South Beach to join the Heat.

As James departed for South Beach, so did Windhorst, who covered the Heat from 2010 to 2014.

When James left the Cavaliers to play in Miami, that’s when the Heat created their “Big Three.”

The “Big Three” consisted of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

The trio helped James win his first NBA title in 2012, when the Heat defeated a young Thunder roster that featured Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

During James’ time in Miami, he won two NBA titles with the “Big Three” and also won two NBA MVPs and two Finals MVPs.

After an NBA Finals loss to the Spurs in 2014, James departed Miami and made his way back to the Cavaliers. He delivered on his promise of bringing Cleveland an NBA title.

As James is set to enter his 24th NBA season at 41 years old, will he make amends in Miami and return after a 12-year absence?
