How will Miami Heat fans treat LeBron James when he is introduced during the Cleveland Cavaliers' starting lineups announcement prior to their Christmas Day game? Who knows. One thing we do know is that the Heat organization is going show their appreciation for his four years at Miami with a video tribute. The same will be done for his Cavaliers teammate James Jones, who also decided to go to Cleveland after being with the Heat since 2008.  

When asked about what his good friend LeBron should expect from Heat fans,  Dwyane Wade told Cleveland.com, "I think he should be received very well for that at the start of the game," he said. "And then when the game comes on, then do what you've got to do (as fans). ... I hope our fans are just appreciative of what he brought to this organization in four years."

The Heat and Cavs will square off on Thursday at 5 p.m. ET.
