It’s even crazier to realize that the infamous ‘The Decision’ fiasco happened 14 years ago.
As pointed out by Yahoo Sports on Twitter, today marks the tenth anniversary of James’ homecoming after spending four years with the Miami Heat.

James went to South Beach to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and win his first championship, which was a decision that still has drawn some criticism.
He made it to four consecutive NBA Finals, winning a couple of them, so it clearly was the best decision for him and his career.
Then, already knowing what it was like to be a champion and what it took to finish the job, he decided to head back home and fulfill his promise of winning a title for his hometown team.
It wasn’t always pretty, and he did lose more than he won, but he delivered.
James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to one of the most memorable championships in sports history, as they became the very first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals, all while spoiling the Golden State Warriors’ record-breaking 73-9 season.
James faced plenty of criticism back then, but he made sure to right his wrong and redeem himself by going back home and taking them to the top.
