Pat Riley didn't get the memo.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- Since LeBron James joined the Miami Heat, he's been called a quitter, had his compe ive nature questioned, heard others say he made a bad business decision.
Yet the NBA's reigning MVP does acknowledge this much - all the doubters are fueling him.
"I do have a lot of motivation," James said.
Music to the Heat collective ears, right there. Donning his new Heat home uniform and sitting alongside fellow star teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, James spoke Monday on the eve of his first practice with his new club, and said the team "will let our game do the talking."
James signed a $109.8 million, six-year deal with Miami on July 9, one day after starring in an hourlong TV special to announce he was leaving Cleveland. There has been constant outcry since - Cavs owner Dan Gilbert called James a quitter, rivals questioned his compe iveness, and Dallas owner Mark Cuban said James executed "the largest public humiliation in the history of sports."
"He is a motivated player right now," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
The Heat begin training camp Tuesday at Hurlburt Field, a U.S. Air Force installation in Florida's Panhandle. On the night he signed, James predicted Miami would win multiple les with him, Wade and Bosh leading the charge.
His thinking hasn't changed on that front since July. Asked if the Heat are facing a "championship or bust" season, James coolly responded: "Not bust. But it is championship."

R.I.P Lakers
After talking out of his ass all summer, LeBron says the Heat "will let our game do the talking".
Awesome. Shut the up.
I thought they have ESPN to do the talking for them
Lebron does the talking, ESPN does the nut sucking
don't mention nut sucking that's gonna wake up culby
I sense a lot of ass hurt coming... Koolaid in 1 2 3...
If there's one thing you dont want to see as a MH fan, its the immature showboating where guys are just rubbing it in dancing and cheering like a clown. That's the kind of thing they need talk about, but these guys are pretty young with no class act veteran on board so I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron or Wade bust a move from time to time.
Smart thing to say.
I can't see Wade doing that so, I guess you're half right.
Im pretty sure they were all surprised from the amount of fire/bashing and ripping they got. James and Bosh probably thought "Ok, 1-2 weeks some criticism and then its all just about the dream team blabla".
But after that decision debacle, the intro show and Bosh destroying himself (his twitter charade, his days/weeks blooper in the Wade interview, his SI "show" etc) im kind of sure they will keep it little bit more low profile without dancing courtside etc...
pfft. Heat will be bounced by the C's in the playoffs.
if they bust a move someone should send them to dance with the stars and they can judge that instead of playing this season
All of a sudden when he has a stacked team Lebron will let his team's game do the talking.
Comin' for #6.
I guess that Lebron don't realize that boy is still out there...man that boy still fisting ass with that hammer...
Maybe you should put him on your ignore list...
Yes, now that the odds are ridiculously skewed in his favor and he no longer has to be the go-to guy....Lebron is finally going to let his game do the talking.
While the Lakers let their championships do the talking.
Last spring James let his team do the talking....and the walking. How soon we forget.
The Heat are going to be disgusting..they're all motivated, they have the 2 best players in the NBA, Lebron has a mental list of targets..it's going to be a fun year, a lot of teams are going to get blown out..
