	While that nearby city Cleveland still treats the name “LeBron James” like Hogwarts treats the name “Voldemort,” But Akron is a different city. And a different story. Akron is where LeBron was born and raised, and there he still has fans. Family and friends that love him. And now he has signs, too. Nine entrances to the city of Akron will have signs that read “home of LeBron James, 2012 Olympic Gold Medal, 2012 NBA Championship, 2012 NBA MVP. Here are the details from the Beacon Journal (via The Basketball Jones): Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic also unveiled the newest honor to Akron’s most famous resident ¬¬— blue and white signs that will be posted at nine major entrances to Akron that proclaim the city his home. “For my money, he’s the greatest Akronite because he cares about Akron,” Plusquellic said. The “greatest?” More than Angie Everhart? More than the guys from The Black Keys? More than Mike or Bob Golic? More than Grandpa Jones from “Hee-Haw?” More than Harvey Firestone (as in the tires)? Yup, probably ahead of them. Firestone is close. But I’d have him third, behind all the guys fro Devo and the winner overall, Chrissie Hynde (the Pretenders). LeBron’s going to need more rings to get past them.

now that he got what he wanted in miami i think it'd be an interesting twist if he went back to cleveland when he's a free agent again, they'd have all that lotto talent surrounding him, k#lla kyrie [pic] that'd be best route for lebron imo [pic]

Imagine Lebron goes back to Cleveland for one year to end his career. Just one year. An all or nothing season. And won the title.

That'd be epic.

Maybe you mean Cleveland [pic]

Bron made it clear after the Decidion that Akron is the place he'll always treasure the most.

The sole reason why he won't go back to Cleveland...Dan Gilbert. Hopefully Kyrie does what's best for himself and get outta dodge first chance he gets.

I think if he's able to improve his shooting he could extend his NBA playing career.

While the shooting has been a problem since coming out of high school, he did drastically improve his post game last season. [pic]
