Would You Like to See Akron's Lebron James Back Home?

Lebron James told the Plain Dealer — "I think it would be great."

 

Just a few exits from Stow, one of Akron's claims to fame, the king of basketball, has said he could see himself returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

His televised decision to leave Cleveland was not taken well in Northeast Ohio a few years ago.

"And if I decide to come back, hopefully the fans will accept me," LeBron James said in a Plain Dealer story

So, after a few years of using his talents in Miami — Patch wants to know: Would you accept him?

Only if he officially apologizes by donating money to other communities' kids besides Akron. His fun in-the-sun might be getting a little old. Maybe the Cavs will hire him in another capacity and not as a player. Who knows! Maybe he's homesick???

I don't think he's homesick. I think he's an egomaniac and can't get over the fact that most of our state loathes him. I'm interested, however, to see what others think about his possible return. I personally think he just likes to be in the headlines.

I think that LeBron has the right to make decisions based on his own desires. LeBron did not owe Cleveland anything. He gave Cleveland a few dedicated years and his time was up. LeBron didn't need anyone consent to make greater choices for he and his family. LeBron wasn't blessed with great talent to meet one city needs. He certainly doesn't need to seek for attention to be in the headlines (LOL). Most of you Clevelanders seem to have nothing else to strike your attention other than LeBron. People who think for themselves do travel to their destiny at the appointing time.

SO over him. The people of Miami know our pain. All talk and no results. He can stay gone

Maybe God forgives, and we should also, but there is a limit. He showed a complete lack of character then and it is showing thru again!!

Agreed, Jim. Imagine being a Heat fan and having him talking about leaving, with zero championships, and two years left on his contract. Oh wait...we do know how that feels. He did the same thing to us.

He's a narccicist (sp?) and creates these things to stay in the headlines. If we all ignore him long enough hopefully he will go away ( yes , South Florida feels our pain... I am originally from there.)!
