LeBron James sent the city of Cleveland into a deep depression, and stirred up some strong anger when he decided to “take his talents to South Beach,” in 2010.
Today (June 11), James decided to go back to his roots and become a Cavalier once more.
In an open letter he penned to Sports Illustrated, James decided to take the mature route this time and skip the television special to make his much-waited announcement.
In his letter he said, “My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now. The hardest thing to leave is what I built with those guys. I’ve talked to some of them and will talk to others. Nothing will ever change what we accomplished.”
In Miami, he went to the NBA Finals 4 times and won twice. However, instead of returning to the Heat, James wants to make amends with his hometown team, and return the city to glory. He’s ready to do whatever it takes: “Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. It’s where I walked. It’s where I ran. It’s where I cried. It’s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I’m their son. Their passion can be overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want to inspire them when I can. I’m not having a press conference or a party. After this, it’s time to get to work.”
So, four years after he left his city in search for a title, he is now returning to the city that made him to make amends and finish his career where he started. And Cleveland couldn’t be any happier with his decision; celeberatory car horns could be heard all over the city when James announced he was going to come back to the Cavs.
So, welcome back LeBron! We can’t wait to see you return the great city of Cleveland to all of its glory.
