LeBron James pal: Why he left, and Knicks didn’t have a shot

Romeo Travis, former teammates of both LeBron James and Frank Ntilikina, calls himself “an Akron guy, really Akron.”

And on the day after “The Decision III,” Travis, James’ longtime buddy and former high school teammate at St. Vincent-St. Mary, said Northeast Ohio “gets it.”

Travis, who won the French League championship eight days ago as power forward for Le Mans, is back in Akron and reports no James jersey-burning ceremonies, as in 2010. Instead, he’s seen social-media photos of thank-you notes atop James’ jersey.

Akron-ites and Clevelanders can live with LeBron taking his talents to La La land.
