History

Historical Context

In July 2010, LeBron James announced on ESPN’s “The Decision” that he would join the Miami Heat. Pat Riley had been building cap space—nearly $46 million—and courting James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh since 2006, culminating in a six-year, $110.1 million deal that created the league’s first modern “superteam.” The move amplified the NBA’s shift toward star-driven roster construction that still shapes team strategies today.
