The Daily Beast has a fun recap of how we got here.
Friday afternoon update: this part is interesting. The Republican party recently selected Cleveland as the host city for their 2016 nominating convention. They announced that they plan to start it on June 28, which is significantly earlier than the traditional late August/early September dates we've seen for the last several election cycles. What does this have to do with LeBron? The convention will take place in the same arena where the Cleveland Cavaliers play. If, if, LeBron leads the Cavs to the NBA finals in two years, which he's expected, no, required, to do, the games would bump up against the convention. Either the convention would have to be deferred to a later date or the Cavs would have to find another arena to play in.

Saturday morning update: Have you noticed that in pretty much every article that mentions Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's "unhinged" letter to fans when LeBron ditched the team in 2010, the writer feels compelled to mention, in snidely derisive terms, that the letter was written in Comic Sans?
I like an article I found at Slate.com, which was written before James' return to Cleveland was announced.
One more thing: I wrote about Lebron over at Blog To Work. That post will go live Monday morning and I'll come back and link to it then.
