Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It’s where I cried. It’s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I’m their son. Their passion can be overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want to inspire them when I can. My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now.

Dwyane Wade sure looks like a chump, opting out of his contract.
Cleveland does have a lot of young talent. If LeBron wants to be Jordan this is his chance to mold these players into champions.
Who cares?
There is not way Wade with his crappy knees will be getting the type of money he was guaranteed.
LeBron: I’m coming to Cleveland
Cleveland: We don’t want you!
At least give the guy credit for learning from his mistakes.
Cleveland.
Picture an abused beat-up wife who takes back her mean SOB husband after he parties with whores and thugs down in Florida.
That’s Cleveland.
I am an ex-Clevelander and I love my sports teams but I have to admit I am a bit disappointed to hear the news. Who wants a wife back(even if she is the beautiful Angie Harmon) that has slept with someone else AND the whole world knows about it.
I will be happy to have LeBron bring a winner to Cleveland. I would have been orgasmic if the Cavs won without him.
And I would have been multi-orgasmic if they had played a LeBron led team and beat him for the title.
Yeah, it was pretty sweet.
Colonel, USAFR
GO SPURS GO!
Good for you LeBron—you chose well. Bring one home for Cleveland.
Gee, he had an epiphany..
He can park it next to the rollls royces and bentleys..
Actually most Cleveland fans welcome Lebron back. If they get Kevin Love in that rumored trade then that team will be very good and those on the sidelines will forgive and forget. I’m not a Lebron fan but I do think this was the best choice for him
Ohio is his home. Almost no one ever develops an allegiance to Miami.
Cleveland getting all the love. The GOP will have their 2016 convention in Cleveland.
Cleveland is the big winner this week. First the Republican National Convention and now LeBron James.
James mold players into a champions? He won two titles at Miami because the heat had three or four all star players.
The talk of who’s better, him or Jordan just ended with this trade. He ends his career with 2 titles. Jordan had 6. No comparision whatsover. Kobe will win another before James, and that will give him 6.
