Cue Drake because LeBron James announced before the weekend that he was going back home to Cleveland; this collection of tributes to LeBron James will help fans celebrate the shocking news. Although not everyone is happy about this latest development, as well as Chris Bosh's ridiculous pay bump, many others saw it coming. Politics aside, it is a move that will make good television when the season starts later this year.
From highly anticipated sneakers to inspirational ad campaigns and even rumored movie announcements, there are many tributes to LeBron James that makes the basketball star's Cleveland news even more memorable. People can purchase his products or get lost on the Internet in celebration of his announcement.
