LeBron James Returns To Cleveland

After four years with the Miami Heat, LeBron is “coming home” to Cleveland. LeBron posted a heartfelt message to SI.com on July 11, detailing his decision to return.

One of the main reasons LeBron wanted to go back to Cleveland was reportedly because of his family. His wife, Savannah Brinson, is set to welcome their first baby girl any day now. LeBron has also reportedly registered his two sons, LeBron James, Jr., 9, and Bryce Maximus James, 6, up for school in Cleveland for fall 2014.
