For the second consecutive offseason the Oklahoma City Thunder star has joined the Miami Heat Most Valuable Player for a series of collaborative and grueling two-a-day workouts near James' hometown in Akron, Ohio.

Last year the two dubbed the process "hell week" and credited it with helping them start on a path to facing each other in last June's Finals.

"We pushed each other every day," James said about last year's workouts. "At the time, I envisioned us getting to (the Finals) against each other."

After their workout Tuesday, the two each took to Twitter to comment.

"Just finished a great workout with @KDTrey5. On court work, ran the hill and finished running the football field. #StriveforGreatness," read a message on James' Twitter account.

Durant's account said: "I got better today! That's all that matters!! Move em."
