LeBron James wanted Cavaliers to draft Andre Iguodala in 2004: “I had loved him at Arizona”

The Cleveland Cavaliers struggled to find a running mate for LeBron James in his first stint with the team, which led to his infamous departure to the Miami Heat in 2010, when he teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to win two championships in four years.

James eventually returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and led them to their first title in 2016, but maybe he would have never left in the first place if the 2004 NBA Draft went a little differently.

Like, one pick differently.
