The Heat and LeBron won 2 championships during the so-called “Big Three’ Era.
James, 38, is still going strong for the Lakers.
Spoelstra said LeBron’s longevity is a testament to his incredible work ethic.
Spoelstra said, “He’s redefining what is possible with human performance at that age. It’s a credit to his work ethic. I don’t think that’s talked about enough. How much he commits his life to this game. He doesn’t it for granted, he doesn’t take his talent for granted.”
Spoelstra said that James is the most talented guy in the league.
The Heat’s coach said James could put in less time and people wouldn’t notice.
Spoelstra said that Kevin Love calls LeBron a “cyborg.” The Heat coach said he would prefer to call him an “alien.”
