For a GREAT sports city starving for a championship, has there ever been a better story in sports? If Lebron can deliver a title to a city that hasnt felt glory in 51 loooooong years, will that put Lebron at the top? Is winning one title in Cleveland a game changer for his legacy? Being a hometown kid and lifting an entire region and fanbase from its knees of futility is such a great story. If there is ever a time, the time is now! For all the jokes, negative comments and heartbreak, Cleveland has remained loyal to its franchises. 51 years is long enough! No excuses, get it done and earn it!

He will be bringing one back to Cleveland this year.

The man is a legend.

No, would've been a good story if he never left. Nobody cares now.

Some might say that the fan base is still on their knees.

If he can deliver and eventually bring the city a championship it will definitely go down as one of the best sports stories ever.

I believe winning 1 championship in Cleveland would be greater than or equal to the 2 he won in Miami also.

Hell of a story for someone to do this in their HOMETOWN....means even more that he chose to come back when he could have just been winning more championships for other teams...

Look at the Heat, if Lebron would have been on their team this season they would have been a top 4 seed, with or without Chris Bosh. Instead they didn't make the playoffs and watching from home.

Cleveland went from the worse team in the NBA to the best overnight with Lebron. That's how much of an impact he has on the people around him.

Michael never said hey let me go out to Charlotte and win them a championship, Magic never said I'll go play for the Pistons to help them out....

It was a bold move to make especially in the prime of your career to make a move like that with new coaches, players, and players that have never seen the playoffs or know what its about....now the NBA Finals....

The team is clicking right now so I think they win in 6 games...

Game 1 - Steal riding the roller coaster of being hot (CAVS)
Game 2 - Warriors bounce back, Steph and Klay are hot and combine for 60 pts (Warriors)
Game 3 - Cavs win by 12 (CAVS)
Game 4 - Cavs win in OT (CAVS)
Game 5 - Warriors win by 8 (Warriors)
Game 6 - Cavs win on their home court (CAVS)

Nope. If he never left, a lot more people would like him. But he did on his own free will. Ruined his legacy with that one decision

Just shows how stupid and shallow people are to hold a grudge against a 25 year old kid for taking his dream job.

You have to think about something here, Lebron skipped on college, he spent his entire life in Ohio. The dude, while still a bit young, wanted the feeling of being a college guy and wanted to have his time away from home. Can you really blame him for going to miami? He played in 4 championships and won 2 titles with one of his best friends. I was mad at Lebron when he left, but now I see the guy just wanted a. Change for a while but now hes home to bring them a title, and I doubt he ever leaves Cleveland again.

To answer your question, yes people do care.

LBJ will never be as good as MJ. MJ never lost 3 finals.

Cleveland is NOT Lebron's hometown. Why do you keep saying that?
