Miami Heat confirmed a video teasing LeBron James' potential return was posted by mistake. A live stream titled "LeBron James Introductory Press Conference," scheduled for July 27, was uploaded to the Miami Heat's YouTube channel Tuesday night but later deleted.

A Miami Heat spokesperson said the video was mistakenly posted in preparation for James potentially returning to the franchise with which he won two championships. The error sent the basketball world into a frenzy awaiting confirmation of where the 41-year-old will play his 24th NBA season.

James confirmed leaving the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons in June. The Cleveland Cavaliers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Miami Heat have all been linked with the four-time NBA MVP. Long-time friend and agent Rich Paul stressed they won't be rushed: "We're not going to be rushed. It's his choice to make and, when he makes the choice, he'll make it."
