In the 2014 offseason, LeBron James made a great decision, after four years with the Heat, winning two regular-season MVP trophies and two championship trophies, he chose to return to his hometown of Cleveland to complete his unfinished business. Because james had said he was going to bring a championship trophy to his hometown since he first joined the league, he didn't accomplish it when he chose to leave in 2009, so he chose to go home when the Heat became famous. Back to the Story of the Cavaliers, we also know that in 2016, we beat the Warriors to achieve their dreams.
Not long ago, Pat Riley spoke to the media about James' decision to return to Cleveland, saying, "I think it's the most normal thing for him, somewhere in your life, you have to clean up something to keep going," Riley said, "I've always felt that even if he left Cleveland for career reasons and came to Miami, one day he'll come back to his hometown, otherwise he'll be covered in red letters for the rest of his life." So it was a very courageous and selfless thing for him to go back to Cleveland to rebuild the team, and if he hadn't done it, he might have a hard time being accepted there, and he did the right thing. Riley added.
And for James's return to Cleveland, Riley is quite vocal, because the heat big three formed a lot with Riley, he has been operating this matter a long time ago, if you call him the heat big three operator, it is not too much. Riley has always had great respect for James, and he has always believed that James is the ultimate answer to modern basketball, and even said that the future basketball trend is five players like James. This time Riley talked about the matter from the perspective of the parties and did not have any complaints.
Previously, some people said that James left the Heat to return to the Cavaliers, because the Heat were not competitive at that time, Wade's knee injury made him basically say goodbye to the super-giant ranks, the team's three top-paid players could not make the team strengthen, the Cavaliers had Kyrie Irving, and there was enough weight to trade another superstar, so in this case, James chose to return to Cleveland, but it is clear that these fans are worried, the Heat general manager does not think so, the fans do not have to fight unevenly.
In fact, as Riley said, James's return to the Cavaliers is also subject to a certain amount of pressure, because he has gone, the fans who returned to Cleveland were scolding him, he has become Cleveland's enemy, in this case he chose to return, which shows that James is really a very courageous person. At the same time, James said that he wanted to give Cleveland a championship trophy, which was not a rhetoric, but his own promise, and he must fulfill his promise.
From the dissolution of the Nets Big Three fans should understand a truth, arbitrarily stack a few talents may not be able to win the championship, the lineup of the Big Three means sacrifice, means dedication, don't look at the time the Cavaliers set up a luxurious lineup, but there are two players who have not passed the playoff test, the Cavaliers are also mainly young people, only James joined to make them a championship team. So James really had the courage to come back.
