Coming Home by Alex Paramo
Lebron james decision to return to Cleveland after four successful years in Miami caught many sports pundits and fans by surprise. Why would he leave after such a successful run in Miami? Think about it every year he was in Miami the Heat played for a title. Any observer familiar with the NBA would surely bet that a Lebron James-led Miami Heat would be representing the Eastern Conference at the end of the upcoming 2014-2015 season. So why leave all that? To a team that, only the overambitious fans in Cleveland would peg to lead the Eastern Conference this coming season.
Home Sweet Home
Well for one, Lebron’s family lives in North Eastern Ohio. He has deep roots in Akron. Who
wouldn’t want to play at home? Being from NYC I would often daydream of helping Patrick Ewing lead the Knicks to a title!! In Cuba’s Baseball League, the players on each team are actually fromthe province (like a state) that they reside in. What a concept! I often wondered why start-up pro leagues like the USFL and the XFL did not try this, they would have had built in interest in those communities.
