During LeBron James’ time on the Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra cleverly adopted a strategy he dubbed “positionless basketball” to win a couple of championship trophies.
“When Miami had LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh together for four seasons and four trips to the NBA Finals, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra almost completely abandoned the 1-2-3-4-5 concept of assigning players certain roles and went to a positionless approach.”
After the Heat drafted Bam Adebayo in 2017, he declared he was the perfect fit in that system.
