LeBron makes quick work of Ohio rally

[Dorado]

AKRON, Ohio -- LeBron James made a dramatic appearance at his party -- after it ended.

With thousands of his hometown fans already gone or leaving "LeBron Appreciation Day" on Saturday, James walked through a side entrance into nearly empty InfCision Stadium on the University of Akron's campus and made his way down to the playing field.

As fans screamed and pushed to get a look at the superstar, James, who lives a short drive from the school, was presented with a crystal trophy, which had already been placed back inside a box before his surprise appearance.

"Akron is my home and life," James told the crowd. "Everything I do is for this city. I love every one of you all. Akron is home."

During a one-hour ceremony attended by nearly 4,000 fans that ended about 20 minutes early, James was honored by the city he affectionately calls home and a place the Cleveland Cavaliers star and upcoming free agent will soon consider leaving to play for another NBA team.

James didn't commit to appearing at the event, which was sponsored by local businesses.

The 25-year-old did not address free agency during his 10-minute stay.

The rally was basically a parade to convince LeBron to stay In Cleveland, he showed up.......Does this maybe hint that he's gonna resign?

no. honestly if i was him id feel a little disrespected that they waited until he may leave to give him the trophy or whatever. plus all this would be annoying to me and i know he probably feels somewhat the same.

Surprised he showed up since he's a dick.

How would he be disrespected? He is worshiped in Cleveland.. Shouldn't he feel disrespected by all the other fans of other teams who are only cheering him and appreciating him now because he is a free agent?

Its nice to see that the city of Cleveland gave him a good farewell party, he has done a lot for that city so this is a very good gesture by them.

And it's going to be nice to see you hop on a different bandwagon when he doesnt go to the Knicks.

lol, Knicks bandwagon? That's an oxymoron my friend. Ive been a Knicks fan my entire life so please dont say these blasphemous statements. And whats your fascination with denying that he will be going to the Knicks? Sounds like someones insecure.....

 

[elcheato]

lol you're only a Knicks fan because of the free agency period.. You were a Mavs fan up until they lost in round 1.

And whats your fascination with making horrible jokes and not being funny at all?

 

[Pugz]

It helps when you have a real General Manager and coach..... I dont even have to answer to you about my loyalty towards the Knicks, lol. I understand you have lost your sense of humor since Lebron is leaving, but we can get through this....
