Tuesday evening on an Israeli sports talk radio show hosted by Ofira Asayag on ONE.co.il's 102FM,Miami Heat minority owner Raanan Katz and I appeared as panelists to discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers' firing of head coach David Blatt last week. Blatt's former assistant coach, Alon Stein, was also on the show.
Katz used to be a shareholder of Maccabi Tel Aviv when Blatt coached there years ago, in addition to his role as a minority owner of the Heat. During the radio interview, Katz revealed a bomb of a story—that LeBron James "made it clear" he wanted Erik Spoelstra fired during his tenure with Miami.
