Giannis Antetokounmpo is officially a Miami Heat<\/a> player as the trade became official earlier today. Though he is the newest member of the Heat, he was expressing his love for a Heat target before the trade was even announced. On Kick streamer, N3on\u2019s live stream Antetokounmpo had several moments that revolve around LeBron James. <\/p>\n

Who Giannis likes watching in the NBA?<\/p>\n

When asked who his greatest of all time in NBA history is, Antetokounmpo first states that he does not think you can compare between different eras. Then he continues to say that the player he likes to watch the most in the league is James. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe person I like to watch a lot is LeBron James.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat fans will certainly take this incidence as recruitment for the leagues all time leading scorer. The James sweepstakes is the second biggest story of the offseason behind Antetokounmpo\u2019s own trade. One would have to think that the Heat\u2019s star player openly discussing his like for James could be flattering to help sway where ultimately lands.<\/p>\n

Giannis gets trolled<\/p>\n

If it was not obvious enough that Antetokounmpo wants the Heat to sign James based off earlier comments, then it is obvious now. N3on\u2019s stream chat begins to say that James signed with his hometown team the Cleveland Cavaliers again. <\/p>\n

Giannis almost had a heart attack when Neon stream trolled him saying LeBron signed to Cleveland \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n

Giannis when he found out it\u2019s fake: So there is a chance \u261d\ufe0f<\/p>\n

This was a funny moment as Antetokounmpo goes into complete panic and noticeably gets anxious about the news. He then asks his brother, Alex, to try and confirm the news. <\/p>\n

The best part is when he is told that it is fake and he has N3on feel his chest to presumably feel his heart rate, but the thing that will catch people\u2019s attention is what he says right after. <\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo finishes the clip by saying \u201cso there\u2019s a chance\u201d, which should give every Heat fan hope. This is clear evidence about Antetokounmpo\u2019s desires to play with the player he likes to watch the most. <\/p>\n

James to Miami?<\/p>\n

\u00a0It is unclear where James will ultimately sign, but it is nice to see the Heat\u2019s newest superstar openly recruiting new players to join him. Time will tell if his recruiting efforts pay off, but one thing that has to help their chances is Antetokounmpo\u2019s willingness to put himself in the forefront of the James recruitment. <\/p>\n

James would be a perfect fit <\/a>alongside Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo on the court. The Heat could catapult themselves into East favorites if they were able to pull it off. As it sounds Heat fans and Antetokounmpo will all be itching to find out what James decides. <\/p>\n
