LeBron James calms down Miami Heat fans - NBA Update
Miami Heat’s star LeBron James sent shockwaves on Thursday night by hinting that he might be playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers again in the coming years.
What excited the Cavs fans more is that LeBron exclaimed that he hopes his Ohio fans would forgive him and accept him if he returns to the city. The Cavaliers let LeBron have it after the forward decided to join Dwyane Wade and
Chris Bosh at Miami in the 2010-11 pre-season.
The move in itself was understandable, but the manner in which James carried the whole episode made him the public enemy number one, not only in Cleveland, but throughout NBA. He was booed in whichever court he went last season
and it was only this season that the fans seem to have got over his fanciful theatrics.
And then came James' revelation that he would like to return back to the place where it all started for him.
Although this announcement was massive for the Cavs and their fans, on the other hand it left Heat fans pondering over LeBron’s commitment to the franchise.
LeBron realizing the disappointment of the Miami fans dished out a statement on Friday;
"The question is could I see myself playing back (in Cleveland). I said 'yeah' in the sense of I don't know what my future holds and I don't want to take that (option) out. I answered truthfully," He said”. But it's all about this
season for me and it's all about playing with this Miami Heat team and trying to win an NBA championship. The fans of Miami shouldn't be worried about anything at this point. I've got everything invested with this team. My mindset is on helping this team win
a championship and as a team get better every day”
LeBron, in partnership with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, almost guided the Heat to an NBA championship last season; however in the finals they came across a juggernaut in the shape of Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas Mavericks.
This season, LeBron is more hungry and motivated to do what he could not do last year. He has already led the team to important wins and the way Heat are playing at present, betting on any other team to win the NBA title will be
a huge ask.
