While Miami Heat president Pat Riley remains incredibly serious about bringing back LeBron James, he’s becoming a joke around the NBA as executives are using his efforts to convince the superstar forward to return as the butt of their jokes.

Pat Riley is a hustler though, so if it takes Jesus to bring back LeBron James then that’s what Riley might pursue. But bringing back Jesus and bringing back LeBron may end up being a task one int he same, as it’s starting to look like South Beach will be down a superstar when the NBA season kicks off next season.

There’s hope that LeBron will be back in Miami next season but returning to Cleveland has become more and more of a good idea and it might be the decision he ends up arriving at when it comes time to decide his NBA future.
