LeBron James and Miami Heat take their 23 game win streak to Cleveland
The pride of Akron, Ohio returns to his Cleveland to face the Cavaliers and Cavs fans. The same fans that burned his #23 jeserey in the streets, cursed
him at sports bars, and backed an owner that publicly tried to put a championship hex on LeBron.
Attitudes have changed for Cleveland fans. This is the fourth time for James to return in a different uniform, but it is his first time returning with a ring. Most Cavs fans are hoping that the prodigal son returns after his vacation on South Beach is over. James caused a stir in Cleveland when he was quoted saying he would not rule out a return someday to the Cavs. Don't hold your breath. LeBron will never play for Dan Gilbert again.
Yet, James still gets emotional about returning to Cleveland. There are still friends, family, and fans that welcome him playing in Quicken Loans Arena. He admits that things are different now than the last 3 times.
""I mean, I think seeing the people that I grew relationships with over the years. But it's a lot different now. I mean, there's only one guy that's actually active that I played with, that's Daniel Gibson, and he's out for the season. But it's a different coaching staff. It's a different uniform and everything. So it's a totally different feel." - LeBron James with the South Florida Sun Sentinel
He left out Anderson Varajeo
With no Kyrie Irving, we don't get to see Cleveland's prize for LeBron walking match-up with him. The streak should continue, but the atmosphere will be interesting.
