Recent comments from the Miami Heat President Pat Riley on LeBron James did not go unnoticed by the NBA. The league fined the executive $25,000 for violating the league’s anti-tampering rule for saying he would love to have James return to the Heat.

Even though the parting between Riley and LeBron was not the smoothest one when James decided to come back to Cleveland after four years in Miami, the executive expressed openness to reuniting with his former player.
