Forget what you thought you heard in that exchange between Dwyane Wade and LeBron James following the Christmas Day game between the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers. Earlier today, a YouTube video started making the rounds where it sounds like James tells Wade, "Like I said, if we aren't better this year, we're going to reunite again and do some bigger and better things, alright?"

Almost immediately, speculation grew about LeBron's basketball plans for next year and beyond, but The King himself wants you to know that it's not what you think. Here is James' response to the video, courtesy of ESPN's Dave McMenamin

If you're still questioning his intentions, James went on to tell McMenamin that he's back in Cleveland to "build something great in the present and in the future."
