THE Miami Heat weren’t in a giving mood on Thursday as they spoiled the Christmas Day return of LeBron James to southern Florida.

James tallied a team-high 30 points and eight assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 91-101 to his former team in one of five National Basketball Association contests on the Christmas holiday.

It was James’s first game in South Beach since spurning the Heat to rejoin his hometown Cavaliers in the offseason.

“A lot of emotions come back and you know jordan 6 retro gatorade green , I spent four years here with those guys,” he said. “We put in a lot of hard work and dedication just to do the best we could.”

James, who got a big pre-game ovation from the crowd of 19,800, won two NBA titles in four seasons with his former team, which has fallen to a sub .500 club since he left.

But the Heat didn’t play like a struggling team.

They were a determined bunch jordan 6 gatorade green suede , especially James’ former sidekick Dwyane Wade, who finished with a game-high 31 points. The Heat victory also comes just 48 hours after a disappointing 87-91 loss to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers.

“It could have been easy for us to be down on ourselves after that loss but we weren’t,” said Wade, who hugged and chatted with James on the court after the final buzzer.

There were no hard feelings between James and the Heat fans either, as he received plenty of applause and just a smattering of boos during pre-game introductions at American Airlines Arena.

The Heat also played a video tribute to James during one of the timeouts.

“What me and my teammates created while we were here is going to last forever,” said James jordan 6s gatorade green , who led the Heat to four championship appearances. “You can never take that out of the (history) books.

“I gave everything and more to the city while I was here. I never disrespected the city, the franchise, or any of my teammates.”

But James said he had yet to speak with Heat President Pat Riley.

“If the opportunity presents itself I don’t mind, but I don’t know what his mindset is,” he added.

James promised reporters a “huge” press conference once he retires at which he would answer questions more freely.

Wade said he was pleased to see the cheers outnumber the boos for James.

“That is the way it should be. There is no reason to say anything negative about LeBron James,” said Wade jordan 6 gatorade green 2017 , who scored 24 of his 31 points in the first half.

In other Christmas Day fixtures, it was: Wizards 102, Knicks 91; Thunder 114, Spurs 106; Bulls 113, Lakers 93; and Clippers 100, Warriors 86.

Three-year deal for airing soccer games from 2016 season may be worth $400 million jordan 6 gatorade green for sale , say experts

LeTV Sports, the sports arm of China's biggest online video company LeTV Holdings Co Ltd, has snapped up the Hong Kong rights to the English Premier League soccer games for the next three years starting 2016, as part of its efforts to bring in new technology and securing a number of exclusive television properties.

Though LeTV did not disclose the exact terms of the agreement at a news conference in Hong Kong on Tuesday, industry sources said it could be as high as $400 million-plus for the three years, more than double what the current rights holder PCCW's Now TV paid for a similar three-year deal.

Beijing-based LeTV is aggressively expanding into the Hong Kong pay TV market jordan 6 gatorade green , which has been dominated until recently by Now TV and i-Cable.

Cheng Yizhong, the newly appointed CEO of LeTV Sports in Hong Kong, said that LeTV will also webcast some Premier League matches in ultra high-definition quality during the 2016-17 season.

LeTV, which started out as an online video platform, has since evolved into a smart TV maker and diversified into segments such as smart bicycles, vehicles and smart phones.

Having evolved from a page on the Leshi movie and TV site letv in 2012 into a separate entity streaming live sports events Men's Nike Air Jordan 6 Retro Gatorade NRG G8RD Like Mike Pine Green Orange For Sale , including National Basketball Association and National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball games from the United States, LeTV Sports is now shifting toward an all-round sports media business.

Acquiring the broadcast and media rights for exclusive sports events seems to be the way ahead for LeTV in what is otherwise a highly competitive market. However, it will face stiff competition from similar services owned by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, Tencent Holdings Ltd and Dalian Wanda Group Co.

In January this year, Tencent beat LeTV Sports with $500 million for the rights to broadcast NBA games in the Chinese mainland for the next five seasons, despite LeTV Sports offering $600 million.

As one of China's fastest-growing and most acquisitive video-streaming startups air jordan 6 gatorade green mens retail , LeTV Sports' merry-go-round to beef up its presence as an all-round events rights holder is mind-blowing.

As of July this year, it is reported to have handled broadcast and media rights for as many as 200 events and nearly 10,000 matches for live broadcast, ranging from golf's US Open, cycling's Tour de France, and three years of tennis' Wimbledon Championships to the Boston and New York marathons air jordan 6 gatorade green suede mens , and Shenzhen International Marathon.

At the same time, the company also needs huge cash flows to pursue its sports ambitions. In May this year, it raised 800 million yuan ($125.5 million) as funding from Wanda Investment, the venture capital fund supported by Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin, and Alibaba's Jack Ma-backed Yunfeng Capital, valuing the video-streaming business at 2.8 billion yuan and setting a record for fundraising in the Chinese sports industry.

Huang Jinyang air jordan 6s gatorade green mens , an EPL viewer in Shanghai, believes the emergence of a new player and distributor like LeTV Sports in the TV market is a good thing as it allows content owners to distribute to a mass audience without huge investments on cable TV networks.

"The broader picture may not be very clear so far, but there is a possibility that customers could actually benefit from the latest.
