Get on the bandwagon......It's about to run over all those
"what about the letter?" bitches.
Props to Lebron for coming back...but still fuck the Cavs..
I want my Sonics back...

Nah, man.
I'm clowning.
Congrats, tho'.
I feel the way I feel, but no matter where Lebron played, he'd be playing for a owner who don't like black people.
Charlotte included.
Where are those Pat Riley is Genius dudes?
Man. People are blowing that shit way out of proportion. It was hoe shit by Gilbert but it was understandable hoe shit... he heard his best player was leaving on a fucking TV special yo... shit was mad embarrassing... I would have been mad a fuck too.

THey in Oklahoma right now.
Miami is giving him that back in some way. Hell maybe he can go to his hometownHow is he getting that back?
He can't even get a call this offseason.
If I lived in Miami, I have a beautiful beach I can go to; one of the greatest night lives in the country; and bad Latina and Jew bitches.
I'd be alright.
The cavs actually gave a blue print on how not to act. The heat are just following the opposite
I need love to stay in Minnesota. If he go to Cleveland with LeBron there's no way my Knicks can sign him next year
People keep mentioning Gilbert. The real truth is and it is something Lebron learned is pretty much all of those NBA teams are the same. Just some owners are smart enough to keep their true feelings out of the public.
Lebron fans need to stop pretending they gave a fuck about Miami and follow their favourite ball player.
The big 1 has left so the heat can go back to barely making or missing the playoffs now.

Cavs fans...
Are they a championship contender again???
Any Thoughts???

not to excuse it but COMPLETELY different scenario
Those were white folks who were burning his jersey....Hell,most of them isn't from Cleveland....
THey in Oklahoma right now.
I don't consider them the Sonics.......
Yea but Lebron left the Heat with 4 championship appearances and 2 rings.
I'd honestly be more salty now. Heat are left with nothing but Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger.
And unless something happens they traded their 1st round pick to the Cavs for Lebron to begin with. Either way, they got 2 parades out of it and got to feel important for 4 years.
"In Riles we Trust"......
He destroyed that franchise and people put their trust in him. It shouldn't be shocking. We tried to tell y'all he never built that organization to begin with. Bron, Wade and Bosh came together. Riley just cleared the space. Now he has to go and build a team again his starting pieces are Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger.........
they were NOT trying to hear it.
not trying to believe it was a possibility
Granger and Mcroberts
Can you whip me up a Kermit with a Cleveland jersey on Bills? Lol
gene "the gatekeeper" cisco...
they're coming, don't let them in
Gene gonna be stopping bandwagons like.
YOU MAY NOT ENTER!
C/S...I was able to visit South Beach, Got to witness the dropping of the banner, and ring ceremony....there's pretty of times we as fans don't get to see out favorite player or players win titles. I missed out on attending the finals, but couldn't pass up the ring ceremony and banner dropping. Miami had a nice run, and likely to continue soon...
I was on that fux that return shit, but this letter kinda doing something...
LeBron: I'm coming back to Cleveland
BY LEBRON JAMES (AS TOLD TO LEE JENKINS)
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.
Remember when I was sitting up there at the Boys & Girls Club in 2010? I was thinking, This is really tough. I could feel it. I was leaving something I had spent a long time creating. If I had to do it all over again, I’d obviously do things differently, but I’d still have left. Miami, for me, has been almost like college for other kids. These past four years helped raise me into who I am. I became a better player and a better man. I learned from a franchise that had been where I wanted to go. I will always think of Miami as my second home. Without the experiences I had there, I wouldn’t be able to do what I’m doing today.
I went to Miami because of D-Wade and CB. We made sacrifices to keep UD. I loved becoming a big bro to Rio. I believed we could do something magical if we came together. And that’s exactly what we did! The hardest thing to leave is what I built with those guys. I’ve talked to some of them and will talk to others. Nothing will ever change what we accomplished. We are brothers for life. I also want to thank Micky Arison and Pat Riley for giving me an amazing four years.
I’m doing this essay because I want an opportunity to explain myself uninterrupted. I don’t want anyone thinking: He and Erik Spoelstra didn’t get along. … He and Riles didn’t get along. … The Heat couldn’t put the right team together. That’s absolutely not true.
I’m not having a press conference or a party. After this, it’s time to get to work.
When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission. I was seeking championships, and we won two. But Miami already knew that feeling. Our city hasn’t had that feeling in a long, long, long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as possible, no question. But what’s most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio.
I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn’t know when. After the season, free agency wasn’t even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn’t going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy.
To make the move I needed the support of my wife and my mom, who can be very tough. The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, “OK, I don’t want to deal with these people ever again.” But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I’ve met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We’ve talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I’ve made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?
I’m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We’re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I’m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I’m going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn’t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I’m excited to lead some of these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can’t wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates.
But this is not about the roster or the organization. I feel my calling here goes above basketball. I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously. My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where I’m from. I want kids in Northeast Ohio, like the hundreds of Akron third-graders I sponsor through my foundation, to realize that there’s no better place to grow up. Maybe some of them will come home after college and start a family or open a business. That would make me smile. Our community, which has struggled so much, needs all the talent it can get.
In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have.
I’m ready to accept the challenge. I’m coming home.
Cavs fans...
Are they a championship contender again???
Any Thoughts???
Yes, they have enough to get to the ecf so that makes them a contender.
If you make it there anything can happen.
Those were white folks who were burning his jersey....Hell,most of them isn't from Cleveland....
I don't consider them the Sonics.......
No. They were from Cleveland. But they the same ones probably would have drove all the way out to Richfield to support the team. They probably the same ones cheering for the Cavs when everyone else up here was a Bulls fan.
Gene go ahead and make an official Cavs off season thread
King T had to work today?? 
Gene is like Noah.
They laughed at Noah saying it was gon' rain.
When it started flooding; they started pleading to be let in...
...and he was laid back in his recliner made of hay like he ain't heard 'em.
I would've let the fine in. But, they would have had to work overtime to repay their debt to me.
