In a interview with GQ, Lebron James was quoted as saying something that made me laugh,
James explained he’s always had an uneasy relationship with Cleveland because he’s from Akron, a half-hour away. ”It’s not far, but it is far,” James said. ”And Clevelanders, because they were the bigger-city kids when we were growing up, looked down on us. … So we didn’t actually like Cleveland. We hated Cleveland growing up. There’s a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.”
Being from the Akron area, I was never witness to any type of rivalry between the two cities, but then again, what do I know, maybe I’m from a earlier generation. I would only argue the distance between Akron and Cleveland.
On another note, I had the opportunity to see Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers play the Orlando Magic last year in November. A big thank you to Paul, Renard, John, and Stacey for a great time. Oh, and the seats were great, I wanted to sit there and bounce popcorn off of Shaq’s head. I guess this is where I should enter the obligatory, “Go Magic”, “Be Magic”, or something along those lines. Oh, well, how about, “End of Line.”
