Well, at least for now it is. King James, after stomping Cleveland can finally breathe again. I think we all can finally breathe again, I thought Lebron’s return to Cleveland was going to be like watching footage of the Iraqi people pulling down Saddam’s statue. I pictured the Heat hiring a bunch of LeBron look-a-likes distracting Cavs fans while the real Akron Hammer makes his way into the visitor locker room. Seriously after the Chosen One decided to take his talents to south beach we saw these guys burning his jersey, liquor stores were giving away free beer to anyone who traded in thier number 23 jersey, they had that hilarious youtube video mocking his Nike commercial. Even Dan Gilbert couldn’t resist expressing how much he felt him and his organization was disrespected. Cavs fans everywhere were sitting around like, “Hey Lebron what should we do when you come back?”
I wasn’t expecting them to give him a standing ovation, I don’t think anyone was. The constant Boos every time he touched the ball must have been so inspiring, so much so that he had 38 points, ouch. My favorite part of that game was early on when Lebreezy (that’s what I like to call him) had the ball and drove to the hoop and switched hands in the air did a 360 and sunk a lefty layup. It shut up the crowd in a funny way. It was almost like they were booing so much until he did that move, then everyone in Cleveland looked at each other as if to say remember when he use to do that for us, then right back to the Boos and chants.
Speaking about the chants one of my favorites was “De-Lon-Te” to the beat of “Lets Go Cavs”. The “Sco-ti-Pi-ppen” one was kinda a low blow I feel like more for Pippen than Lebreezy (see there it is again). I didn’t know this before but apparently there was a group of people on twitter trying to get all these chants going and had a full list that was being passed around the arena. It looks pretty organized too, trying to time coordinate the chants to each quarter so that none of the booing got old for there once loved basketball star. Take a look at what they were trying to get done during the game.

I would have lost it if I actually heard them singing that song! The signs and t-shirts too were pretty good. Again, to point out my favorite the yellow Lyin King T-shirt with the Lebron quote talking about bringing a ring to Cleveland was a good one. I read somewhere that no one should have bought a ticket to the game. Just let those two teams play the game in an empty Quicken Loans arena. Now that would have been a statement more so than a poorly written song about my boy Lebreezy.(It just flows so well, Lebreezy say it with me)
But now that game has come and gone and like I said we can all breathe again. I think Jay-z said it best, now the Heat can move on to the next one, on, on to the next one (Jay-Z Blueprint 3). I’m sorry to all the Cavs fans out there too.· A break up like that sucks but lets move on now get behind YOUR team these guys are a decent squad, stop making it all about the Akron Hammer. Lebreezy is going to lay down a legacy regardless of what you chant or how many signs you make. This Heat team we can all laugh at now but once they get in a groove and are comfortable moving the ball around and working together as a team I think the NBA needs to watch out. Lebreezy, Wade, and Bosh its only a matter of time.
