Basketball superstar LeBron James could be set to jump ship from the Miami Heat.
James has added fuel to rumours he might leave the NBA champions in a birthday message he sent over Instagram to team-mate Dwyane Wade.
In it James says he came to Miami for two reasons, to play with Wade and to win championships.
He went on to say that he can't thank Wade enough for the sacrifices he's made and no matter what happens in the future they will be "stuck together like brothers for life".
James, a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player, left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join Wade, 32, and Chris Bosh in Miami in 2010.
But James, Wade and Bosh - each set to make more than $24 million next year - all could opt out of their contracts after this season.
James has not discussed his potential free agent status while Wade has said he wants to stay with the Heat for the remainder of his NBA career.
This year, the Heat could become only the fourth NBA club to win three championships in a row, following the 1960s Boston Celtics, 1990s Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers from 2000-02 and 1952-54 - the first run coming when the Lakers were based in Minneapolis.
