Instead, it was an exclusive scoop by our friends over at Sports Illustrated that broke the news that resonated through the NBA world.
LeBron James is coming home.
Here is a quick excerpt from the lengthy piece, which you can read in full here:
"When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission. I was seeking championships, and we won two. But Miami already knew that feeling. Our city hasn’t had that feeling in a long, long, long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as possible, no question. But what’s most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio.I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn’t know when. After the season, free agency wasn’t even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn’t going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy."
Congratulations, Cleveland.
You finally caught a break and hopefully LeBron James will finally bring you sports glory.
