The Chicago Bulls were at the peak of success during the 90s and the major reason was ‘His Airness’. Similarly, LeBron James joining the Miami Heat bought the team two back-to-back championships.

Evidently, fans expressed their anger by shooting videos of themselves burning his jersey. During that time, LeBron had become one of the most disliked athletes in the US. James apparently decided to join the Miami Heat along with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade because wanted to ease off the offensive load.

The first season with the Heat was significantly hard for LeBron James due to all the booing and backlashes. However, he soon led his team to two consecutive championships in 2012 and 2013. After playing for one more season, James opted to rejoin the Cavaliers in 2014.

Evidently, a fan feels it would be crazier than LeBron James’ decision to join the Miami Heat. After the news of Feige being the possible President of DC Studios was released, NBA fans made interesting comparisons to LeBron’s ‘The Decision’.
