In 10 or so years. How will we look back on the lebron run with the heat?

The small-ball springboard.

Yes it was (though I would argue Don Nelson is the father of this when he was running out Billy Owens at center with golden state) Lebron would even play center at times that second year for a few minutes depending on the match up.

It was a fun time. Honestly it was funner than goldenstate.... cause they were villans and it was them against the world.

Miami Heats from 2010-2014 are maybe the Detroit Pistons of our generation. In terms of the atmosphere culture . Mystique. And the hate.
Where as Goldenstate is the golden boys aka Chi Bulls. + the media treating Curry like he = Jordan

I will also remember how everyone ate good off them dudes and they are the reason ESPN forked over even more money for the league broadcasting rights. Not to mention how that also resulted in the cap exploding.

In front of the screen the media and owners frowned on the forming of the team. But in the board room they were giving each other high fives cause they were rolling in money because of the forming of that super team.

Run was good not great

He should've stayed

I think if he would've stayed and they lost Bosh the Heat would've still attracted talent. LeBron and Wade were unselfish players and they made the people around them better. If he would've stayed and played for less money they could've turned that team into a Spurs like squad.

Under achieved

we simply ran up on a juggernaut in 2014. I'll give you 2011. Still, 4 straight finals

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

I miss hating on them.

Now all we can hate on is our own front office

Dark times, Dark times

Always was a lebron hater, but i cant deny its was a legendary run.

It also gave us this classic

 

[WaddupDoe!]

good 4 year run. did what he came to the Heat to do. but im sure 2011 will always be looked upon as the way that got away. 2014 was just not our year. the Spurs were just lights out.


but how will we look back on LeBrons run with the Heat when he comes back after this season?

There is no underachievement when going to 4 straight finals. Any talk like that is crazy.

Outside the 80s Lakers and 80s celtics the only team that did that was the 60s Bill Russell Celtics.

Fun team to watch in retrospect

post Lakers/pre Warriors

It was pretty good. Pretty much in the same boat as the '08-'10 Lakers in terns of success. In pop culture it had far bigger impact though. The whole super team aspect made everything that much larger.
