When it comes to breaking NFL news, there's nobody better than ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Now we'll find out how good his intuition is when it comes to NBA news.
During a recent appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic in Philadelphia, Schefter predicted that star forward LeBron James is ultimately going to sign with the Miami Heat in free agency, with golf playing a big part in his decision.
“I still think he’s going to end up in Miami. That’s my guess. Just a guess. At the start of free agency, somebody texted me and said, ‘You might want to look into LeBron and Miami right away.’ I thought, ‘Okay, that’s interesting.’ That has stuck with me ever since," Schefter said.
"I’ve wondered if that person is going to end up being right. There’s something else that I don’t think should be underestimated, and I think people are overlooking it. LeBron has become a golf fanatic. He’s absolutely obsessed with it. So where can he play golf all the time? Miami.”
Heat fans will have to hope that Schefter will ultimately be proven right, while other suitors like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers will be hoping he's wrong.
