Oh, I know but a lot have already written him off. If he sucks ass this year, I'll lean toward the light bulb not going off....but not after a rookie season.

The last time I listened to 850 was on the night of the Decision, drunk as hell down at school to hear the reactions.
I've turned it in today now as well, unfortunately it's the middle of the day on Friday so stone cold sober this time.

The consensus was that he would have to apologize. So I have to ask: does his SI letter suffice for you guys?

It's close enough for me. All I ever wanted from him was an apology. I was probably the one who held out, not wanting him back, the longest. Didn't care, at the time, as much THAT he left but in the way he did it.

That SI article will make most Cleveland fans hair raise on the back of their neck. You can also tell by the words in that article, assuming they weren't scripted, that he has grown up A LOT.

Switch over to 92.3. They are trying to set up an all out beer bash downtown to celebrate this.

I was a sophomore in college when Lebron left and haven't lived at home since high school. Every one of his Sports Illustrated covers is still on the wall in my old bedroom and my size M youth jersey is still in the closet from Christmas 2003. I'm am so fucking pumped.

And some of you wanted Embiid. LOL

If Embiid wasn't hurt I think Embiid, Lebron, and Irving would be just as strong if not stronger. Happy with Wiggins and Lebron though.

Repost from a buddy on Facebook....

LOL Heat "fans" showing true colors... over 300,000 twitter followers lost by the Heat twitter account in the last 40 minutes. At least we stayed loyal to our team!

And....the Cavs probably gained 300,000 in that same timeframe.

If I was Dan Gilbert, I'd sign Larry Hughes then cut him a day later just to break the ice. Make LeBron wonder what he just got himself into.

Probasketballdraft ‏@Probballdraft 7m Cavs have reached out to the agents of Ray Allen & Mike Miller. Deals could come together quickly as both want to play alongside LeBron.

RT @WojYahooNBA
Asked Cavs coach David Blatt if he's thrilled for chance to coach James. "That would be understatement of the millennium," he tells Yahoo.

Woj also said that Bron met with his agent, Gilbert and Blatt(I think) last week for 4 hours. Went completely unreported.
