The Heat Reign: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat get their NBA title by the South Florida Sun Sentinel Staff is a retrospective compilation of the newspaper's coverage of the titular basketball team's (Wikipedia) successful 2012 championship season, free courtesy of publisher Agate's Digital imprint.

This has previously been offered free in 2012 and again in 2013.

Currently free, probably just until the weekend @ B&N (may also drop in the UK), Amazon (not available to Canadians this time around, but newly free in the UK), and may also show up later as a DRM-free PDF direct download @ the publisher's webcatalogue page, as Agate freebies sometimes do.

Description
In Summer 2010, LeBron James took his talents to South Beach, bringing with him Chris Bosh to partner with Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade. The Big Three talked of winning multiple NBA championships and enormous expectations began to build—pressure that grew even stronger when the Heat lost the 2011 NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks.

There were rumblings about breaking up the team, or firing coach Erik Spoelstra, or both. New players joined the cast, and with James producing a league MVP season, the Heat rolled into the Eastern Conference finals despite injuries that limited the effectiveness of Bosh and Wade. Winning a championship would test the team like never before.

Down 3 games to 2 in the East finals after losing at home in Game 5, Miami faced elimination and a defining moment for James. A spectacular performance by James forced a Game 7 in Miami, where a victory sent the Heat on to face the Oklahoma City Thunder—and clash with superstar Kevin Durant.

Relive the Heat’s march to the NBA championship with stories, columns and photos from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. From the unsung heroes to James’s MVP performance and the post-title celebration, it’s a story of validation, vindication and the ultimate victory.
