Heat president Pat Riley said if there is one area where LeBron James could make a breakthrough, it's with the addition of a mid-range game.

"Trying to find separation and raising and making jumpers, a lot like what Dwyane (Wade) did, when Dwyane really broke through," Riley said.

Riley said James' passive play in the closing games of the Finals is being overstated, but that James eventually will better learn how to take measure of games and his needed impact.

"That's become sort of the flashpoint of this whole thing and I think it's wrong," he said. "It's absolutely wrong to lay it on him."
