He could. I believe it's his hometown.
Lebron grew up and still lives in Akron, OH. So very close to Cleveland.
He went to St. Vincent/ St. Mary's HS in downtown Akron. I live in Columbus, but go to Akron a lot, as I have an Aunt there. last summer in Fairlawn, which is a suberb of Akron, I was in Bestbuy. Lebron and a friend came in and bought an Xbox360 game. I think it was the new Tiger Woods, but not sure.
Anyway he is a Yankee fan, and good friends with JayZ, who I think has some ownership in the Nets. So there might be some truth to the rumour of the Nets moving and Lebron going there when his current contract expires, I am a Yankee fan, but i am a Cavs fan and would hate to se him go. If the Cavs didn't win the lottery to get Lebron, they wouldn't even be in Cleveland anymore.
