The Comeback: LeBron, the Cavs & Cleveland: How LeBron James Came Home and Brought a Championship to Cleveland

This epic homecoming tale recounts one of the greatest sports stories in Cleveland history â€” how LeBron James and the Cavaliers took fans on a roller coaster ride from despair to hope and, finally, to glory as the 2016 NBA champions.

Fans felt gut-punched in 2010 when local hero and MVP LeBron James announced he was leaving the Cavaliers and Northeast Ohio for Miami. The Cavs nose-dived in the standings and struggled to recover.

Then, in June 2014, LeBron announced he was coming home. And he had a mission: Lead the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals and give Cleveland its first championship in 52 years.

But would LeBronâ€™s return be enough to restore his reputation, revive the franchise, and reward long-suffering Cleveland fans?

Award-winning sportswriter Terry Pluto tells how it all happened.

How LeBron won back fans with a heartfelt message â€” and savvy PR . . .

How the Cavsâ€™ front office crafted a championship-caliber team with a big three of James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love and a bench stocked not only with talent but character and chemistry . . .

How LeBronâ€™s added experience from four seasons and two titles in Miami prepared him for this second chance in Cleveland . . .

How the Cavaliers reached the 2016 NBA Finals to face a Golden State Warriors team, led by MVP Stephen Curry, that had just set an NBA record for wins and had vanquished the Cavs in the Finals the previous season . . .

How LeBron and the Cavs, down a historically hopeless three games to one, sparked an unprecedented come-from-behind surge (symbolized by LeBronâ€™s superhuman block in Game 7) to stun Golden State and bring home the NBA Championship . . .

And how the ecstatic fans joined the team in a joyful celebration that brought more than a million people together in downtown Cleveland.

Pluto tells it all with insightful analysis, extensive front-office details, and a deep empathy for the fans.
