LeBron James had decided to move on from Cleveland as the franchise had failed to surround him with players capable of winning a title. So in 2010, LeBron went to join the Miami Heat so as to team up with other stars to go win an elusive NBA title.

He joined Bosh and Wade, forming the first ever "superteam". In the 4 years he spent at Miami, LeBron averaged 27 points per game, along with 7.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists as well. They reached the NBA finals in the 2010-11 season, only to lose out to the Dallas Mavericks in a 6 game series.

LeBron then decided to take matters into his own hands after the humbling defeat that was delivered upon them by the Mavericks. He ended up winning the MVP in the 2011-12 season and won his first ever NBA title with the Miami Heat and the NBA finals MVP, beating the Oklahoma City Thunder in 5 games.

He then went on to lead the Heat to a consecutive NBA titles in 2012-13, winning a back to back MVP, NBA finals MVP and NBA championship, beating the San Antonio Spurs in 7 games. He made it to the East All-Stars with the Miami Heat in all 4 seasons.

Even though he averaged over 30 points a game in his 2 seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron learned to share with a team that had Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and led them to 4 straight NBA finals appearances and 2 NBA championships. There is no doubt about the impact he had in just 4 years on the franchise and he takes the #2 spot.
