“That Ain’t Yo City!”: Cleveland Fans Incensed as LeBron James Calls Miami His City in Heartfelt Post

Miami Heat has won three NBA titles in their history. The last two championships they won in the previous decade when they raised one of the greatest NBA teams in history. The elite trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh led the Miami-based franchise to two straight championships in 2012 and 2013.

King James joined the Heat in 2010 after becoming an unrestricted free agent. He received a lot of backlash from Cleveland Cavaliers fans after his ‘The Decision’.

James had an instant impact on the Heat side as they reached the NBA Finals in his first season. However, they lost to the Mavericks that season. But LeBron alongside Bosh and Wade powered the Heat to a 2nd straight NBA Finals and this time they won it. The Heat won another championship next season. In fact, they reached the NBA Final for four straight seasons. The Heat fans have always loved James since then and the respect is mutual.

James recently expressed his love for the city of Miami through his Instagram post. While Heat fans loved the heartfelt tribute, the Cavs fans felt the opposite.
