LeBron James, back in Miami with the Lakers, reflects on his 4 Heat seasons

Associated Press  

MIAMI — LeBron James couldn’t help but notice the new floor in Miami on Monday, the one with the word “Culture” splashed across midcourt and with team president Pat Riley’s long mantra painted in each of the lanes. “You know, I think everybody on the outside, they probably hear it so much, they’re probably tired of hearing about it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of the ‘culture’ credo. To James, that’s the culture — how Riley, Spoelstra, managing general partner Micky Arison, general manager Andy Elisburg and many other top executives — were in Miami long before he arrived, and remain there. “Besides San Antonio, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots, I think those are the only franchises that you can say have the same stability as the Miami Heat,” James said.
