Cleveland hasn't had this much good news since the first time LeBron James came to town.
And on Friday the city landed perhaps the biggest prize of all — the return of its prodigal son. James, the four-time NBA MVP and Akron native who once spurned gritty Cleveland for glamorous Miami, is coming home.
Whatever good karma this long-suffering city built on steel mills and blue-collar labor has coming, formerly downtrodden Clevelanders would surely embrace it. When you've had — and still have — as many problems as Cleveland, you take what you can get.

When word got out that James was bringing his considerable talents back to Cleveland, cheers and beeping car horns could be heard echoing downtown. People stared at their cellphones with expressions of glee and, perhaps, slight disbelief that it was true, King James really was headed home.
