Internet Shows No Mercy On Miami Heat Social Media Team After LeBron Mistake

The Miami Heat have one of the better social media teams in the NBA. 

Just a few weeks ago, it cleverly introduced new acquisition Giannis Antetokounmpo by making consecutive posts with the first letter spelling out his name. That seems like a distant memory after Tuesday night's mishap. 

The team accidentally posted a YouTube link to LeBron James' introductory press conference. It was later deleted and the team said it was preparing in case James does choose the Heat. 

That didn't keep fans on the Internet from roasting the Heat for the mistake. 

James' decision is the center of the NBA universe right now. There are plenty of reports about where he will land. Among the teams most mentioned are the Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers. 

So, naturally, the Heat's bad link drew lots of attention. 

James is still must-see TV despite this being his upcoming 24th season. It's a testament to his legendary legacy that he is still making headlines in his third decade in the league. 

It is unknown when James will make a decision. Despite multiple reports about possible landing spots, his agent, Rich Paul, recently said no one knows where he will end up. 

It was only 16 years ago when James made "The Decision" to leave the Cavaliers for the Heat to team with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. It was considered unheard of at the time because they were three of the league's top 10 players. 

With that trio, the Heat won two championships in four straight appearances in the Finals. James has already said he wants to play for a team that is ready to compete for a title. 

The Heat fit mold, especially after signing Antetokounmpo. He is now paired with center Bam Adebayo, which should make up one of the top frontcourts in the league. 

Now, it's just up to James to decide if he wants a second stint in Miami.
