LeBron, the King of basketball, with Cleveland as his Kingdom. LeBron, the one free agent who wasn’t allowed to be a free agent. Yet he did abdicate his Cleveland throne, and he did it on live television of all places, breaking the collective hearts of a fan base along the way. Ultimately, he did return to Cleveland as the cavalry with the simple words “I’m coming home”. He delivered to Cleveland something even the most hopeful fan thought was impossible, a championship. This championship came against the NBA’s version of the Juggernaut no less, the 73-win Warriors.
The champagne stains have long since faded, and the clock is once again ticking towards LeBron’s free agency.
