"It would have been unreal. He has a connection from before," says Miami's Swedish NBA star Pelle Larsson.

James was on the team when the Miami Heat won the NBA title in 2012 and 2013.

The club has already prepared for the upcoming season by trading for superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks, sending a clear signal that they want to become a winning team that makes it to the playoffs.

LeBron is 41 but is still playing at a high NBA level.

He's so smart in the game that he can fit in a little bit anyway, and I know he just wants to win, Larsson says about James.
