3. LeBron is looking out for Cleveland

Despite having left the city just five years ago to play for the Miami Heat, LeBron James loves the city of Cleveland. Being born just down the road in Akron, James is a hometown kid and he cares about his city more than people like to believe.

Ever since he chose to play ball with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami a half-decade ago, he has always had a spot in his heat for the Cavs’ and his city.

Just as much as LeBron loves Cleveland, the city completely embraces its NBA superstar who they would claim to be the best basketball player of all time — yes, Michael Jordan fans, feel free to cringe now.

Coming up as a hard-worked who did everything he could to get where he is today by earning it, James is the type of blue-collar athlete that Cleveland loves and hopes will end the lengthy professional sports title drought that has lasted for decades.

If LeBron doesn’t think Blatt is right for the organization, then he must know something that the rest of us don’t. Contrary to popular belief, James is a very respectful person and when you see him arguing with his coach and not showing respect, you know something isn’t right.

LeBron’s best interest is also Cleveland’s.
