You have to respect LeBron James. He is a bona fide basketball champion and he plays to win, something the Cleveland Cavaliers had long had trouble doing when he left for the Miami Heat in 2010. But the onetime high-school phenom from Akron, Ohio found his success in Miami empty; he helped the team win the 2012 and 2013 championships, but it didn't feel right. Returning home to northeastern Ohio did. Now he's going back to Cleveland, and he hopes to do something no Cleveland sports team has done since 1964 - win a championship. (The Browns won the National Football League championship that year, before the Super Bowl with the American Football League was started and before the two leagues merged into today's NFL.) Cavs fans who burned copies of his jersey are welcoming him back with open arms.
All, apparently, is forgiven. LeBron James wants to put his roots back down where he came from, playing or less money than with the Heat, but he hopes to be a greater part of the community and give something back o the area that gave him is career. James learned his lesson well - in a country where people constantly move from one place to another, where you're from is always more important than where you are. Ideally, people should stay in the place of their birth and upbringing and do their part to make their hometowns better. Because no matter where you may roam, you can never get away from your roots.
