James joining Miami Heat and the role of his mother:

A young and rising LeBron James took the decision to shift camps to the city of Miami, and he was heavily criticized. Many bashed him for moving and said that the debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James was over.

“You know the whole decision, in general, could have been done differently. But at the end of the day, I would’ve still wanted to be a part of this franchise.” LeBron James talks about his transfer to the Miami Heat.

James also mentioned a very interesting story involving his trade with the Miami Heat and his mother. “The day I was going to do the announcement, I was a little undecided. I didn’t know if I was doing the right thing or not. I got a phone call from my mother and she basically said, ‘You know you have to do what was best for you and you have to do what’s gonna make you happy and not worry about everybody else.'”
