LeBron James and Miami Heat Looking to Fulfill High Expectations
The Miami Heat trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all decided to play together during the offseason and form an All-Star tandem in order to do one thing—win championships.
After a regular season where they had major ups and downs, the playoffs are just around the corner and it's time for the Heat to see if they can put it all together in the postseason.
According to Mitch Lawrence of the New York Daily News:
"...the Heat will play nothing but tough series this spring. The Lakers might be the two-time defending champs, but no team will be under more pressure to succeed than Miami."
Why?
That's what happens when you build a super team.
Lawrence adds:
"It's different because Miami has LeBron James. Whether he likes it or not and acknowledges it or not, James' legacy heading into his first playoff run for Team Riley is Game 5 against Boston last spring."
People still remember when King James rolled over, played dead, and then booked his one-way ticket out of Cleveland during the series.
Perhaps he had better days in mind in Miami.
Now it's time for him to prove that his decision to take his talents to South Beach was indeed the smart choice.
If not. No one will let him forget about it.
That's exactly why the pressure is on his and the rest of his teammates.
