Is the commissioner related to Bat Boy of Weekly World News fame?

I thought Bat Boy looked more like former(?) NBA player Mike Bibby

So do Cavs fans seriously believe LeBron is coming back?

I think there's a chance he does. The odds aren't in their favor, but they're not out of it. This is like if Jagr would have mulled over coming back to the pens... Oh wait #jagrwatch

Well technically speaking, the odds are in their favor.

I guess Lebron is supposed to tell the Cavs and Heat who he is going to sign with today before he departs for Brazil for the WC.

My money is that he resigns with the Heat.

My buddy from Cleveland has his hopes up. This will crush him and I will laugh.

Miami is ~50% odds to land him. Cleveland is sub 20% iirc

I thought I've seen Vegas tickets posted with cleveland at a - 240 money line but perhaps those were jabronies with photoshop and nothing better to do

Cleveland will look bad if they don't get Lebron, but if that's the risk for the potential reward..... the only idiotic move would be not going after him.

I think they have a legit shot. Its a toss-up between Mia / Cle tbh. Lebron just wants to go to the best place to win championships. Cleveland is actually better set up than Mia now

Well, I have several framed pictures of Ocean Drive in my home and in my office - one of the coolest streets in the country. Its 70 there in February. There is no state income tax. I would not be going to Cleveland, unless I wanted to do drugs with Manziel.

It's his hometown though, and his wife's as well. Pgh isn't the Miami, but if I were in his position, I'd love to play for my hometown.

Now, if he wasn't from Cleveland, he'd be insane.

Which I think is the craziest part of this entire story. WHO SPENDS THEIR FREE TIME IN AKRON? VOLUNTARILY?

Really??? Wow. I'm fairly certain I'd live in Miami, Tampa, or LA in my offseasons if I was an athlete.

Agree, there is no way in hell I'd want to be in the south during the summer months. I'm more of a northern guy and love the weather, heck, even during the winters.

If I was rich and was off during the winter, I'd be spending more time in Minnesota fishing or something than down on the beach in Miami.

Different people have different tastes.

The only months I get really sick of winter is in late Jan. / Feb / into March. I'm just over it at that point. In a dream world, I'd spend those 2 months in the south, the rest primarily in the North.

No I graduated and moved. The suburbs (Hudson, Bath, Stow) are actually really nice and LeBron living there isn't really out of place.
