Well tonight might be more of a nightmare than a dream for LeBron James as he returns to the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland to play his former team for the first time as member of the Miami Heat. It sounds like he wont be getting such a warm welcome at this homecoming of sorts. Since his extremely public and ridiculous announcement that he was "taking his talents to South Beach", his former fans in Cleveland have turned very bitter towards the self proclaimed King. It's been reported that they will beef up the security in order to keep LeBron safe from the hostile fans as their anger towards the former league MVP might lead to violence. In addition to the extra security precautions, Cleveland is banning any "Anti-LeBron" clothing from the game. Hmmmm, I wonder what anti LeBron clothing is? Do they have anti LeBron shops now that the city is bound together with their fury over the humiliating departure of their hometown boy, the beacon of the Cavaliers for all those years? As seen in this photo during "the Decision", Cav fans not very happy.
Tip off is at 7:00 Central on TNT, and trust me that this game will be pure entertainment, as well as good basketball. Let's not forget that the Cleveland Cavaliers still have some amazing power players (i.e. Mo Williams, Anderson Varejao) and they aren't far behind as the 8th ranked team in the Eastern Conference (7 wins, 10 losses) compared to Miami at 4th place with 11 wins and 8 losses. Will the excessive booing hype up the Cavaliers, or will LeBron and team embrace the Boos and turn LeBron's homecoming from a nightmare to a dream come true?
In his Nike ad, LeBron asks, "should I accept myself as a villain? What should I do?" If he's asking me, I think he should stop belly-aching and play ball. Happy Homecoming LeBron...
xoxo
