The idea of LeBron James returning to Cleveland seemed impossible in 2010, so how did we get here? How did the Cavs rise from a franchise of smoke and ashes to NBA champions within six years? I’m about to tell you the whole story.
I was with this organization every day from the moment LeBron left until the day he returned. My new book, The Blueprint: LeBron James, Cleveland’s Deliverance and the Making of the Modern NBA, is the account of the Cavs’ daring plan to get James back, the mistakes they made along the way and, ultimately, their success in putting it all together.
