Before LeBron’s next decision, we look back at the first one that changed the NBA forever. David Fizdale joins Byron Scott and Jay Wagers to tell the Miami side of LeBron James leaving Cleveland and joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh with the Heat.
Fizdale explains how Wade worked behind the scenes to build the Big 3, what happened the night LeBron sent the “On my way” message, how the city of Miami reacted to The Decision, and why the LeBron-Wade partnership was much harder to figure out than people realized.
