LeBron James is one of the best basketball players of all time, and he has had a special career in the NBA. He has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers, and he has won a championship with each of those teams. James has won one with the Cavaliers and one with the Lakers, and he won two championships with the Heat. James has been on some special teams, but the ones in Miami were different.
From 2010-2014, LeBron James was playing for the Heat, and the big three of him, Ray Allen and Chris Bosh was tough to stop. Miami won two championships during that time, and James was in his prime. When the Heat were practicing, James always wanted to participate in some sort of competition, according to Ray Allen.
“Miami was interesting because LeBron always wanted the smoke,” Ray Allen said during an appearance on The Old Man and the Three. “You know LeBron was always like ‘come on let’s go shoot free throws’ and it was a competition, it was back to that camaraderie and that competition is what I miss, because we just practiced for two hours to three hours, but now the real dudes step up. The real dudes come over to the side and say, all right let’s get this smoke in. And we’ll get a couple shots up and move around the horn, and then the free throw competition starts. And if I’m shooting with LeBron, if he won two or three times throughout the year, we’re done, the media’s over there, he’d walk right over there with a little swag like, ‘yeah you know I just took him down today.’ And those are the times that he won, but you know probably 95% of the time he lost.”
It’s hard to imagine LeBron James losing at something 95% of the time, but Ray Allen was a special player. We all remember his iconic shot in game six of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
