LeBron James spoke

"He's been very serious," Spoelstra said

"He's been very serious," Spoelstra said. "He's a motivated player right now. I think it took a tremendous amount of courage to take the step that he did. It is a step of faith to come to our franchise, to really sacrifice so many things, to subject himself to possible criticism, to come to a franchise where he wants to be part of something even if that means he has to give up a little part of himself."

James isn't totally settled in Miami yet. He is still apparently searching for a permanent home, hasn't even figured out the traffic patterns or scouted out the most efficient way to get to the arena for workouts and games.

But he did clear up some issues: His elbow, a problem in Cleveland's season-ending playoff series with Boston last spring, is pain-free again. He remains convinced he made the right decision. His family is thrilled about the prospects of Miami. And he already feels a bond with teammates that he didn't know as well as he did Wade and Bosh before choosing to join the Heat.

"The game of basketball mlb jerseys is fun," James said. "This summer has been probably one of the longest summers I've had, not in a bad way, but it's just been a long summer. The game will always be fun to me. I can't wait to get out to practice tomorrow. But it's all about business for me. It's less antics and more about the game of basketball. We're ready."

His role remains undefined in Miami, strange as that sounds for a reigning MVP. Spoelstra's deadpan line throughout the summer has been that he's pretty sure on who three of his starters will be come opening night. The other two jobs will be decided in the coming weeks -- and with them, it'll be known how much James and Wade are called upon to handle the ball.

James said he doesn't care how his job is defined.

"I can do everything," he said.

And with that statement comes another dichotomy. He came to Miami, he said, partly because he didn't want to have to shoulder an overwhelming amount of the workload in a championship quest. He tried it that way in Cleveland, never winning theNFL jersey he seeks.

So in Miami, he won't do everything. Doesn't think he'll have to, either.

"We all understand this is the ultimate team sport," James said. "No one can win it all by himself. I know that by example."
