Heat Were Not LeBron James' First Choice in 2010

Few stories in sports are as historical as LeBron James' move to the Heat in 2010.

It stung when Knicks' fans officially found out they were eliminated from the LeBron sweepstakes. And the stinging isn't done just yet. To make matters worse in New York, Bill Simmons revealed that the Knicks, not the Heat, were actually LeBron's first choice:

"From everyone I've talked to in the know since then, it's clear that the Knicks were the first choice," The Ringer's Bill Simmons said on his podcast. "It was basically the Knicks' to lose, and they just couldn't stay out of their own way. The stories are legendary."

"Dolan was Dolan. they didn't have anything prepared. It just couldn't have gone worse by all accounts. It was a disaster. I think at that point, combined with the decade the Knicks just had, I think those guys were just like 'f--k it,'" Simmons added.
