When telling the story of the Miami Heat, you have to mention LeBron James. The "Chosen One" first joined the organization in the summer of 2010 after making the infamous "Decision" on national television. Alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, the 2003 lottery picks assembled a big three unlike any other. It's marked as the start of player empowerment, when players have full control in decision-making, such as free agency.

Throughout the course of four seasons, James led the Heat to four consecutive NBA Finals appearances, winning two of them. He was Finals MVP for both victories and continued to stack what was already a Hall of Fame resume after his departure in the summer of 2014.

James is currently in his 23rd season in the league, which is historic, after returning from a sciatica injury on his right side. The Los Angeles Lakers already faced the Heat once this season during his absence, but had a front row seat to their new style of play.

On his podcast, "Mind the Game," alongside co-host and basketball Hall of Famer Steve Nash, James gave his takeaways on the Heat's offense:

"We've played Miami this year and I got to see it firsthand of how fast they're playing," he said. "The pick-and-roll less style of basketball that they're playing, to try to scout that for one game, is hard to catch up to. I think it's working in their favor. I think without Tyler Herro, who is a very good pick-and-roll player, they've switched off of it and allowed more freedom of movement. Bam's had a couple of games this year where he's had multiple three-pointers made, that is helping him as well. They don't have to have anybody in the paint. When you have a lob threat like Ware, you got Jaime Jaquez who's very fast with the ball, Wiggins is very good downhill, Davion Mitchell very good downhill, Norman Powell very good downhill. It fits their demographic and personnel. That's why Spo is one of the greatest coaches, will be one of the greatest coaches ever. He can continue to have growth mindset and continue to change offensive things to fit his scheme and fit his personnel."

The Heat are currently second in points per game, 122.9, fourth in rebounds per game, 46.4, assists per game, 30.3, 10th in field goal percentage, 47.9, second in defensive rating, third in fast break points, 18.8, second in points in the paint per game, 57.5, second in drives per game, 60.6, fifth in drive points per game, 32.3, first in points from assists per game, 79.9, first in pace, 105.8, second in miles per game, 17.7, and tied for third in clutch victories.

They're one of the better, well-balanced teams in the league and one of the great players in history acknowledges it as well.
