MIAMI (AP) — Even the Miami Dolphins are talking about LeBron James’ arrival in South Florida.
The Dolphins took out full-page ads in Sunday’s editions of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and The Miami Herald, thanking Dwyane Wade for staying with the Heat and welcoming James and Chris Bosh to the region.
“Congratulations to the Miami Heat organization on a huge week,” the ad says.
Miami’s football and basketball teams have always had a friendly relationship. Dolphins players are regularly courtside at NBA games, Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino is a longtime fan and Dolphins coach Tony Sparano was invited to sit with Heat president Pat Riley for a game this past season.
