LeBron James might not feel the need to publicly thank Heat fans for the four years he spent playing for their team, but that didn’t stop the fans for thanking him with a standing ovation before Thursday’s 101-91 loss at Miami.
James was the first Cleveland Cavaliers player introduced by the Miami P.A. announcer and the majority of the crowd cheered for the four-time MVP.
James called the game “very” emotional.
“It’s tough to play under these circumstances, man,” James said afterward. “You’r
Following Lebron James’ announcement on Friday that he would be taking his talents from South Beach back to Cleveland, “the biggest Miami Heat fan in the world among pastors” expressed his surprise, grief — and admiration.
Tullian Tchividjian, who pastors at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, never dreamed that his team’s best player would be leaving the squad following their defeat in the NBA finals last month.
“I was devastated. Literally. I’m a grown 41-year-old m
CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James' latest decision is in: He's returning to Cleveland.
Ending a saga that had the NBA virtually at a standstill while he made up his mind, James told Sports Illustrated for a story published Friday that he's decided to go home. His decision reverses the move he made when he left the Cavaliers for Miami four years ago, and a twist that would have seemed unfathomable after the venomous fallout when he joined the Heat.

The Houston Rockets, if they fail to land free agent Carmelo Anthony, plan to shift their attention to trying to swipe Chris Bosh from the Miami Heat, according to sources close to the process. Sources told ESPN.com on Thursday night that the Rockets — while still holding out hope that Anthony will choose them after hosting him Wednesday in Houston — have already let Bosh know how interested they are in bringing the Dallas native back to Texas.

The Miami Heat’s immediate focus remains overcoming a 2-1 NBA Finals deficit to the San Antonio Spurs, but discussions have begun within the organization about trying to grow their so-called Big Three into a Big Four, according to sources close to the situation.
Sources told ESPN.com that Heat officials and the team’s leading players
No cramps, no problems for LeBron James.
And with their superstar making it to the finish this time, the Miami Heat bounced back from a loss, just as they always do in the playoffs.
“Obviously, having No. 6 in the game at the end was a plus for us,” Dwyane Wade said.
James had 35 points and 10 rebounds in a powerful comeback from the cramps that knocked him out of the opener, as the Heat tied the NBA Finals with a 98-96 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 Sunday night.

If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. If you can’t stand the Miami Heat, stay away from the NBA Finals.
Here they are again: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and company in the NBA championship round back-to-back-to-back-to-back, a feat not seen since Larry Bird’s Boston Celtics of the mid-1980s.
And if you can’t stand the Heat, you’re hardly alone. Haters emerged when James took his talents to South Beach and said they’d win cha
MIAMI (Reuters) – Miami Heat fans overwhelmed a website Thursday aimed at keeping six-times All-Star and potential free agent Dwyane Wade with the team.
The site (www.wewantwade.com) crashed within hours of the Heat's announcement of its creation and technicians were moving it to new servers to accommodate the interest, the Heat's chief marketing officer, Michael McCullough, told Reuters.
Wade, a Chicago native and the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, can become a free agent this summer
