Following Lebron James’ announcement on Friday that he would be taking his talents from South Beach back to Cleveland, “the biggest Miami Heat fan in the world among pastors” expressed his surprise, grief — and admiration.
Tullian Tchividjian, who pastors at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, never dreamed that his team’s best player would be leaving the squad following their defeat in the NBA finals last month.

CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James' latest decision is in: He's returning to Cleveland.
Ending a saga that had the NBA virtually at a standstill while he made up his mind, James told Sports Illustrated for a story published Friday that he's decided to go home.

No cramps, no problems for LeBron James.
And with their superstar making it to the finish this time, the Miami Heat bounced back from a loss, just as they always do in the playoffs.
“Obviously, having No. 6 in the game at the end was a plus for us,” Dwyane Wade said.
James had 35 points and 10 rebounds in a powerful comeback from the cramps that knocked him out of the opener, as the Heat tied the NBA Finals with a 98-96 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 Sunday night.

After picking up his fourth MVP trophy Sunday, Miami Heat star LeBron James gained a new appreciation for the rivalry his team has with the New York Knicks.
James, 28, became the youngest player in NBA history to win four MVPs after receiving 120 of 121 first-place votes by league media members and analysts. The lone other first-place vote went to Knicks star Carmelo Anthony.
It was the second time a player fell one vote short of an unanimous MVP selection, with Shaquille O'Neal also receiving
LeBron James badly missed a layup, got angry and committed a foul after the rebound. It was late in the third quarter, the game was tied and this Miami Heat winning streak seemed to be in jeopardy.
On the next possession, he threw down a fierce dunk.
