LeBron James returned to the American Airlines Arena on Friday for a nationally televised game against his former team, and James had reunions with several of his teammates from his championship-winning Heat teams.
Just before the game tipped off, James walked over to the courtside seats to embrace Chris Bosh, who made four trips to the NBA Finals along with James as a part of the Heat’s Big Three. Bosh remained with the Heat after James returned to the Cavaliers, but his career was cut short due to issues with blood clots. Bosh last played for the Heat in 2016.
