As if his father had been asked to highlight his beloved children, LeBron James did not want to deliver the 10th custom NBA final, in which he would have to face his former career team, the Miami Heat.

The club, with whom he played in the NBA Finals each season in Miami for four years, has managed to win twice and become the most useful finalist twice.
“There is no more importance in winning the title, no matter what you’re playing against,” LeBron emphasized. – It is difficult enough to reach the grand final alone. If you are victorious, it doesn’t matter what you fought against. “
At the time, his partner Anthony Davis had a different view before the final battalions starting tonight.
“Going back to the final and playing the Heat, I think, means a lot more to him than it does to anyone else,” Davis said. “I think this final is probably the second most important to him after playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers.”
LeBron, who had an impressive march with the Cavs in 2016, rebounded from a 1-3 deficit in the final series and defeated the Golden State Warriors, the author of the best result (73-9) in the regular season.
In the 2012 finals, James co-starred with the Oklahoma Thunder trio Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden on the Heat, and in 2013, the San Antonio Spurs with Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan.
According to Davis, this year’s final will be special for LeBron because of the global situation: NBA fights for COVID-19 have been suspended for a month and a half, not to mention a three-month presence in the Orlando bubble.

“I think this series is going to be very difficult,” Davis said. “People have said that this year’s title will be the most difficult to achieve in NBA history just from a psychological perspective.”
LeBron agreed with him.
“It is probably the most difficult stage that I have had to go through as a professional, and how much time have I had to dedicate to this work and how much I have spent,” said the Lakers leader. – But on the way here, I knew what I was coming for. I would be lying if I sat down and said that I understood how everything would unfold in a bubble, how much it would affect the mind and body, because it is just extremely difficult. But I’m here for a reason, which is to fight for the title. “
The Lakers star in the NBA Finals will be judged by the Heat, whom no one expected to see at this stage. There are also very few who believe that the Florida team can complete a fabulous march with a champion trophy.
But it’s not just Jimmy Butler who has made it clear that the Miami team is exactly the same as the Los Angeles club.
“We are a really good team,” Butler began. – And so. I won’t vomit that we’re better than others, I just don’t think we’re not underdogai. Just no.
What if nobody saw us in the final? Everything is fine. I have no doubt that no one sees our winners in the final either. We understand and accept that, and at the end of the day, we don’t really care. We will go to fight, we will play together what we have done and we will see how things turn out ”.
2019-2020 Heat The season, according to ESPN analysts, has advanced with some of the lowest chances of reaching the final in 30 years. Similarly, but even more favorably in 2002, the then New Jersey Nets were seen. Ultimately, the team fell 0-4 to the Lakers, led by Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.
But Butler, who came to Miami last summer in exchange for the Philadelphia 76ers, doesn’t care at all. In the latter, the basketball player was not found and expressed his discontent and asked to leave.
“I always say what I see. It is not necessary to accept this in person. I am not at all concerned with how someone is trying to control me, which, according to the speakers, was being done in Philadelphia. But I don’t get angry with either the player or the person from that organization. I’m glad where I am now. How can you tell now that it has worked?
He knew what we could do with the Heat. Mid-season we added some players and now we are where we are. So, I didn’t look back much. I have to focus on what’s going on right now and the guys around me. “
