LeBron James Not Worried About the Miami Heat’s Lack of Size


One of the few things to nitpick about the Miami Heat is their relative smallness. According to LeBron James, though, height means very little as far as the Heat are concerned. Per the Palm Beach Post: “Miami leaves Thursday on a six-game road trip, during which which it will play four 2012 playoff teams, just about all of which — especially Memphis — have bigger frontlines. LeBron James was asked whether it was an opportunity for his team to prove itself. ‘Every team is taller than us. That doesn’t mean they are bigger than us. Height doesn’t mean anything. It’s the heart, the passion that you play the game of basketball,’ James said. ‘Everyone is quick to try to find something about our team, and say we’re too short or can’t rebound or too small, we need a big. We went on and won a championship.’”
