LeBron James made his first public appearance in Ohio since “The Decision” at his annual charity bike-a-thon Saturday in Akron. He thanked the fans in Cleveland although I’m sure they consider his words to be too little and way too late. This video shows the King thanking his hometown and letting them know they’ll always come first. Funny to see LeBron’s mom Gloria sounding the horn to send her son riding off….
Mylan Murphy caught James’ entire speech in the video below (4:05), including the part where LeBron put himself in the same sentence with Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama. I can’t wait to hear Chris Webber’s thoughts on that..
