LeBron James returning to Cleveland is going to be the highlight of the Cavaliers' season and tonight we will find out what the scorned fanbase has planned for the fallen King.
The Miami Heat has been THE story of the NBA season and since they are, we've been subjected to Coach Spo this and we want to chill that and the Pat Riley conundrum. But every so often something interesting comes from the overhyped coverage of the Heat and tonight's one of those moments.
There's no doubt that everyone wants to see how Lebron will be received at the Q and if he will do his powder dusting before the game. The honest truth is that tonight isn't about the Heat vs. the Cavs, it's LeBron vs. Cleveland and that's why the buzz is at the level it is.
Tonight is more about just a game between two okay teams, it's about how a desperate city will treat a man who was once their answer to everything. The reaction is what all this coverage is about, no one will remember who won this game, but everyone will never forget the response LeBron receives when he steps on the floor tonight.
I can understand the anger Cleveland fans hold towards James and why tonight is the equivalent to the NBA Finals for them and why media coverage will resemble the same. It's a chance to give back to a man who embarrassed your city on national television and dashed the hopes of a fan base who had grown to love the Cavs based on what that one man did for the team and a city. I can feel the pain the pain of Cleveland and I can only imagine the amount of pain they will unleash tonight. It's should be an exciting moment and not to mention the fans will get to see a game tonight as well.
