LeBron James and his surge to greatness came with his first NBA Championship back in 2012. King James was a talented player since the inception of his career, being the youngest on the Sports Illustrated cover in 2003. The 4-time champion was overjoyed and celebrated wildly when he won his first two championships with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013. Moreover, Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal couldn’t help but share a clip of his old team celebrating the win against the San Antonio Spurs.

James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh were the famous trio who led the Heat to their consecutive championships. And their post-win celebration video was uploaded on Bosh’s Youtube channel, with James going bonkers while doing the Harlem Shake. Fans went gaga over the funny video as it resurfaced a decade later.

In a resurfaced video shared by Shaq, the whole Heat squad seems to be wildly celebrating their 2013 win. The 18-time NBA All-Star seemed to be performing the trending dance move of the time, the Harlem Shake, and fans went gaga over it.
