It’s hard to believe that LeBron James hasn’t played with the Miami Heat since the 2013-14 NBA season. Time has flown by, but “The King” has continued to play at an extremely high level past the age of 40.
During his four years with the Heat, James led Miami to two championships. He also led them to the NBA Finals in all four of his years with the team.
James put in four amazing years with the Heat before returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers and winning another championship with his hometown team. After a four-year stint back with the Cavaliers, he left to join the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018-19 and looks likely to retire with his current team.
Ahead of his matchup against the Indiana Pacers, James took some time to do a sit-down with the “Pat McAfee Show.”
A lot of different topics were covered during the show. James talked about Stephen A. Smith, took a jab at Brian Windhorst, and also revealed a hilarious story about Pat Riley removing his favorite snack from the team plane.
“That cookies story is true,” James said. “Everybody knows I love chocolate chip cookies. One flight I got on and there was no more cookies and we all know where it came from.”

Following James’ appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show,” he went on to break the heart of Pacers’ fans.
With Indiana leading 119-118 as time was set to expire, James tipped in a missed shot from Luka Doncic at the buzzer to win the game for Lakers.
LEBRON JAMES GAME WINNER.
LEBRON JAMES GAME WINNER. 🔥🔥🔥
