LeBron James drew plenty of controversy when he took his talents to South Beach in 2010.
LeBron paired with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form a superteam with the Miami Heat, with whom Wade already played.
The decision created tons of hype, and James infamously said the Heat would seven titles.
Though the actual number was two since James played just four seasons in Miami, the move still doesn’t sit well with a former teammate of LeBron.
In an episode of the “Bootleg Kev” podcast, Iman Shumpert said it was LeBron, not Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors, that ruined basketball:
“It wasn’t KD. It was LeBron first going to Miami. LeBron knows he ruined basketball. He thought he was making it better. Me, personally, I loved the NBA for the loyalty that I thought was there. He basically knocked the fourth wall down.”
