Welcome Back King James to the Quicken Loans Arena.

The Cleveland Crowd welcomed LeBron “King” James back to the Quicken Loans Arena with a resounding BOOOOOO!  The stadium was exceptionally loud as the crowded united in one boisterous ROAR as he entered the arena.

No doubt the Cleveland fans were showing their anger and frustration by booing their once beloved King James, who in a press conference we will soon not forget this summer with millions watching as “The Decision” rang from his lips.  “This fall I’ll be taking my talents to South Beach”.  With that simple phrase one man singlehandedly dashed the hopes and dreams of millions.  Not only Cleveland fans but also those anticipating him choosing to go to the Chicago Bulls, the New York Knicks, and the New Jersey Nets. 

But the return of LeBron to Cleveland was definitely a game all of Cleveland had circled on their calendars, the Heat vs. Cavaliers game December 2nd 2010.  The NBA and the Cleveland Police Department upped security for this game not knowing what might happen with the rowdy, angery Cleveland crowd on hand to witness their former “Kings” return.  There were signs and T-shirts everywhere expressing the anger and hatred of LeBrons choice to leave them.  One shirt read:  THE LYING KING  “I got a goal, and thats to bring an NBA championship to Cleveland, and I won’t stop until I get it” LeBron James.

It seemed like every time James had the ball the crowd roared with Boos and other chants.  Many thought LeBron wouldn’t play well in this type of atmosphere but they were sadly mistaken.  To the chagrin of the Cleveland Cavaliers fans LeBron James had probably what will be his best outing all season.  He must have been fired up by the crowd because he went off on his former team.

James scored 38 points ( 24 in the third quarter alone a Quicken Loans Arena record), 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.  To say the least Cleveland’s former “King” put on a kingly performance.

Really LeBron?  Did you just do that?

Yes the Michael Jordan esque chalk clap just happened.  Wow LeBron, really?  This was like the proverbial “slap in the face” to all of Cleveland and Cav’s fans everywhere.
