Stephen A Smith says the biggest issue with LeBron going to Miami, is Pat Riley would get all the credit if they win a championship: “If LeBron James goes to Miami and helps them win in Miami, Pat Riley gets the credit. It’s Pat that went out and got Giannis and then LeBron… the champion is the executive that’s pulled it off again in his 80s.., LeBron is just the latest player he acquired to help elevate their franchise and the Pat Riley mystique. If you know anything about LeBron, he prides himself on being more than that.” (Via Stephen A Smith(

Stephen A Smith says Miami is CLEARLY the best option for LeBron James: “From a playing style, clearly playing for Miami is a better situation than playing for Cleveland, but in the same breath LeBron is very tight with Steph Curry… but I think any of us that know basketball, that based on what Golden State has to pull off, compared to what Miami has already pulled off, Miami clearly appears to be the best option.” (Via 104.3 WQAM)

Stephen A Smith doesn’t think LeBron would get a statue in Miami or Los Angeles: “Me personally I think his best shot at a championship is going back to Cleveland. One could argue Miami with Bam,Giannis, and Portis… Cleveland is the one place in the NBA where he loved. They probably ain’t gonna hang a statue for LeBron in Miami. That’s Wade county. Even tho Bron would deserve it. They’re certainly not going to hang a statue for LeBron in LA.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James joining the Miami Heat: “If he decides to go to Miami…they got a minimum of 2 roster spots open…7M for a LeBron James deal — still leaves room for a 14th player under the threshold…your pitch would be him, Giannis, Bam — you got an athletic versatile frontcourt, elite defensively no doubt about it and they’d pick up the load for LeBron…fastbreak would be terrifying…Davion Mitchell I like him — I like this kid, boy he could defend by the way — I like that kid a lot…” (via Stephen A.

Stephen A. Smith says if LeBron James goes to Cleveland he can do no wrong: “If LeBron goes to Cleveland it’s his shot. He ain’t working for Kenny Atkinson, Kenny Atkinson is working for him. He ain’t working for Koby Altman, Koby Altman is working for him. Dan Gilbert is the owner cutting the checks and he still working for LeBron James. Don’t get me started with James Harden and who he working for. Donovan Mitchell getting ready to sign a 4 year $273 million extension and he will still be working for LeBron James.” (Via Stephen A Smith)
