Did LeBron's arrival spark the rise in southern Florida basketball?

The Heat. The Hurricanes. The Seagulls or whatever FGCU's mascot is?

Good coaches did. Larranaga + Enfield = success.

The best player on FGCU is from Atlanta.

No, it happened long before that. In 1995, a basketball wizard named Jeff [Redacted] began a 6-year tenure as assistant coach of the Miami Heat. Unfortunately, he left south Florida before he could see the fruits of his labors, but what you see now resulted directly and exclusively from his presence.

People do realize that the Heat were good before LeBron came to town, right?

Exactly. It was Shaquille's arrival which sparked basketball in Miami.

FGCU is on the whole other side of the state from Miami.
