:lol his headband isnt even that big, he just has less forehead now, melo wears the same one

The "home coming" storyline is the surface level spin to make him likable again. But obviously he came back mainly due to the chance to form another younger trio to help him win more rings as easily as possible. Seeing as how the writing was on the wall in Miami with Wade, and Bosh no longer performing up to expectations.

I am by no means a LeBron stan.

Fully aware of his inherent cowardice. Dude bolts, or folds at first sign of true adversity. If he cared about Cleveland, North East Ohio, Akron, or that entire section of community who raised him ... he would've never left in the first place. But it still feels better seeing him in a Cavs jersey, as opposed to Miami one.

He left because he was pressured to win titles & that wasnt happening in cleveland any time soon
 
You guys want him to wear a soccer string head band or something :lol that's a regular sized one
 
Part of me wanted Lebby to keep moving the headband so we could eventually see the headband yarmulke look

First sign of adversity? He gave Cleveland 7 years. There was plenty of adversity that he dealt with during those 7 years.

Your logic is also pretty flawed, you can love a place with your entire being and still decide to leave for a little bit to explore. When you've only known one place your entire life, leaving at the age of 25/26 for a while actually makes sense when it comes to life. Leaving doesn't mean he stopped loving the city or stopped caring. You could tell he still longed to be accepted by the city and gave back a ton of money to invest in the youth.

at questioning if he really cared his community. FOH

You're just being extremely simple-minded and think sports trumps life and everything should revolve around the NBA. He still got his, the rings the money and still has love from his community

Watching the 1998 All-Star game on nba tv. Only people still playing from that game are Kobe and garnett. Bill Walton was saying how Kobe has trouble finishing off the dribble but good at spot up shooting. Cool to see GP, MJ, Grant Hill, Kobe, and Penny all on the floor at the same time.

For the first time, we got to see the Cleveland Cavaliers' All-Star trio of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving  and Kevin Love together in uniform at Cavs  Media Day.

Since LeBron  released his letter announcing his return to Cleveland, we've been waiting to see all three All-Stars together.

It's finally happened.

The new-look Cavs  team opens the season as favorites to win the Eastern Conference, and we can't wait to see what they do when they hit the hardwood.

The only thing left is a nickname.

As a non-Laker fan, Nick VanExcel might be my favorite former Laker.
 
Cleveland traded Bogans to Philly for a 2nd rounder.

Cleveland gets a trade exception of about 5.3 mil.

I thought they were gonna combine Bogans & Haywood's 11 mil next year to do something at that time, but trade exceptions are only valid for one year.

So CLE is gonna try to make a move this year. Probably targeting a back up big as insurance for a Varejao injury.
