Chris Bosh knows a thing or two when it comes to LeBron James and free agency.
In 2010, Bosh famously teamed up with James and Dwyane Wade in Miami to form the “Big Three,” which resulted in two NBA championships. Days before James appeared on ESPN to announce ‘The Decision’ in July 2010, Bosh and Wade posted a photo together at a table, with an empty chair indicating James would join them.
Now James is a free agent for the third time in his career and his former teammate is pushing for a reunion with the Heat. Bosh, who played seven seasons in Miami before retiring due to blood clots in 2019, said South Beach offers James a chance to win and work on his golf game simultaneously.
“When you’re older, when you’re ready to retire, you go to Miami,” Bosh joked in an interview with Front Office Sports.
Bosh has not been in touch with James regarding his current free agency, but thinks his friend and former teammate isn’t worried about the perception that will come with his next decision. The 41-year-old is reportedly considering the Cavaliers, Heat, Sixers, and Warriors. Multiple Western Conference executives previously told FOS they expect James to sign with either the Cavs or Warriors.
