Lebron's Return to Cleveland

The man who’s one line which stabbed so many Cavaliers fans through the heart is coming back to town for the first time. When Lebron James said the now famous line “taking my talents to South Beach” you could hear a collective thud from all the fans in Cleveland collapsing onto the ground. I have never seen athlete who had an entire city in the palm of his hand smack the (blank) out of his loyal followers. It was even had for me to laugh and make fun of them, it was that bad.

Well the time has finally come and Lebron's chickens are coming home to roast. The game between the Miami heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers has the makings of a NBA Championship with the atmosphere which will be in the Quicken Loans Arena Thursday night. It should be a sign how tense the situation will be because the NBA has placed extra security at the hotel and arena. Also the Heat will arrive in Cleveland the morning of the game and fly out right after.

When Lebron James finally walks out of the tunnel onto the court it will not be to a roar of cheers or a standing ovation, there will be no baby power tossed into the air, There will be a torrential down pour of boos’ and obscenities like no human has ever seen before. The Quicken Loans Arena holds roughly 20,562 and ever one of them will be expressing the pain and dislike for the man who use to be so love.

My advice to Lebron… Go 0-fer, Go 0-20, Go 0-25. Don’t make a single point. Miss every shot, donk every dunk, blow every lay-up. The fans will realize what you are doing and will accept you apology. You may look like an idiot for 1 game, but that one game will be the largest unspoken “I am sorry” to the fans who made you King James.
