Fans Cheer LeBron's Return to Cleveland

At Progressive Field, Fans celebrate LeBron James returns home to Cleveland
Cavaliers fans have agonized over social media on a daily basis wondering what LeBron would do and they got their answer after he met with Miami Heat President Pat Riley in Las Vegas earlier this week.
They wait no longer.
James announced on Sports Illustrated's website on Friday that he will be returning to the wine and gold. The article reads like an apology to Cleveland fans.
"My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now," James told Sports Illustrated reporter Lee Jenkins.

[@randomkidlife1819]

The fan's who said, "I haven't worn it in 4 years!" makes me wonder why he went back... Miami treated him like royalty, Cleveland treated him like trash.

[@ComdeyProductions]

So ur saying over 20,000 showing to his akron HIGH SCHOOL GAME isnt royalty? being treated like a king since high school isnt royalty?? Cheering this dude giving him everything we have everynight then just leave without a goodbye or warning nor thatnk you, go on live TV just to say Fuck you Im out???? Yeah lets treat him like royalty its easy for miami to say hi and thank you when he won 2 rings for them. "I promis ei wont leave, i promise ill bring this city a championship" i mean it would be better if he let people know before the descision and didnt promise so fucking much but nevertheles he did the right thing

Loyalty says a lot about a person and Lebron has none. Not to cleveland. Not to miami. Not to any team. No doubt he might be the best on the court but has few good qualities as a man. What ever happened to "a man's word is his bond."

funny how a few years ago that Clevland pretty much exile the crap out of them, but i would say cavs won't be a title contender this season but i will say next season cause even if they acquire kevin love that team cannot beat the spurs that is for sure but they have a possibility to win the east
