Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra wants no additional pressure on his newly-acquired hoops ace LeBron James. Spoelstra said he hopes that James will continue to play his usual MVP-kind of game and there is definitely no need to reinvent his game, according to The Miami Herald. The Fil-Am mentor also thinks that James is a good fit to the Heat system and he would not do things that will make the Ohio native feel uncomfortable. Spoelstra plans to play multiple positions for James in the one, three and four spots.

“I made the point to LeBron that I don't want to reinvent his game. I don't want him to feel uncomfortable. As a two-time MVP, we want to make sure what he does best, he will be able to do in our system.

“LeBron certainly will play minutes during the game at point guard and handle the ball a lot. He will be a playmaker. But he has also been a scoring champ. He will be at the end of plays to finish them. He will be a facilitator. He'll be so many different things. We want to take advantage of all his skills.”
