By Mike Dyce
Cleveland Cavaliers fans are looking for every sign that the LeBron James is coming back home. They’ve tracked Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert’s plane to South Florida, they’ve looked through unpublished webpages on his website, LeBronJames.com, for clues and now they’re analyzing his follows on Twitter.
Not his personal @KingJames account, but his @TeamLeBron account.
Notable the last two Twitter accounts he followed are for the Akron Beacon Journal, a Cleveland area newspaper from his hometown, and Ohio.com.

Of course the rumors are up and running and fans are reading into things too much including this. Ohio.com quickly worked to put a stop to the conspiracies and rumors, explaining that the account followed them after they posted an article about LeBron James’ foundation teaming up with “Rehab Addict,” a television show.

The sad part is that most won’t see their explanation and only the screenshot of which accounts were followed, instead missing out on an unusual opportunity to highlight some good amongst all the free agency madness.
