Why LeBron James Almost Joined the Chicago Bulls in 2010 – The Inside Story

LeBron James was part of several NBA teams and even flirted with the Chicago Bulls, although his incorporation did not materialize in the end.

In 2010, both the current top scorer in the history of the National Basketball Association and his colleague Dwyane Wade were very close to signing with the “bulls”, as the latter told ESPN: “Chicago wanted two players, they could make room for two players.”

But apparently what happened with James is that he decided to opt for the Miami Heat, despite the fact that the Bulls were a very strong option at the time and in an article published by CNBC there were several reasons that motivated him, the most important being the fact that they had a bright future that season.

On the other hand, according to the report, at that time the franchise had the economic capacity to sign the already star and finally for him it would have been important to be in the team led by Michael Jordan, for whom he feels great admiration.

In fact, in 2022, the forward met Jordan again at the All-Star Game and told the media: “I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to shake hands with the man who inspired me throughout my childhood,” counting besides: “I always wanted to be like him.”
