Lebron James Drops Starling Admission About The 2012 Miami Heat

Today we all know that Lebron James will end up as one of the goats, his legacy is not in doubt - but in 2012 it was. This major athlete had not won a championship and there were plenty who believed his time was running out. Whereas the Cleveland Cavaliers weren't offering him any help, he decided to head to the Miami Heat. 

Enter Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh, the Big Three. These men changed the face of the NBA, but it came from humble beginnings. Lebron and the Miami Heat were down 3-2 to the Boston Celtics in the eastern conference- as time will tell us, Lebron went clutch to save the game and the season, but it could be deeper than that.

In a recent Instagram Live, James broke down the penultimate game and what could have happened if they lost. “If we lose, Pat Riley may break us all up. ... My legacy gon' take a huge, huge hit if I don’t go out here and perform at an all-time high," LeBron said. Pepp the convo below.
