Today on Sports Illustrateds website si. Com lebron said when i left cleveland i was on a mission. You was seeking championship, and we won two, but whats most important for me is bringing one trophy back to northeast ohio. Lebron didnt make any friends when he left cleveland for miami. Fans outraged with him leaving and nationally televising the decision. For us no cleveland fans angrier than the cavaliers owner dan gilbert. He wrote in an open letter to fans after lebron left saying our former hero who grew up in this very region that he deserted this evening is no longer a cleveland cavalier. He simply does not deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal. He went on to say, i personally guarantee that the Cleveland Cavs will win an nba championship before the selftitled former king wins one. That did not happen. Lebron won two titles in miami. Cleveland still waiting. According to lebron, he and gilbert met facetoface and talked it out, and now he is back. This was the cover of the cleveland queens dealer saying gone. This was the cover today with the headline home. This quote from lebrons essay in northeast ohio, nothing is given, everything is earned. You work for what you have and ready to take up the challenge. Im coming home. Two very different covers as we can see. As for what lebron is doing for the nba, specifically the wizards. Marchin stopped by. Its good because miami became a weaker team than they were last year, so we have a bigger chance to win the division being the team that went to second round last year. We have a bigger chance of winning that division, and obviously, we have put out certain situations and players. Lebron decided that the team was really talented. They have a lot of pieces, young pieces that in the future they can be a really good players, and he actually went from miami that was a good team to talented team and they can be even much better.
