Fans from Northeast Ohio had mixed reactions to the news that Akron native LeBron James isn't heading back home.
"I regret that he ain't coming home to Cleveland, but this will always be his hometown," said Fred Slack of Akron.
James agreed on Friday, July 24 to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, his agency Klutch Sports Group confirmed on social media. James will join the Sixers on a two-year, $8 million contract, which includes a player option, agent Rich Paul told ESPN.
"We got Bron!" said an excited Brandon Knowles, who was manning the 4 Bros & a Sis lemonade stand at the Northeast Regional Firefighter Challenge Classic in downtown Akron.
Knowles isn't from Philadelphia, nor is he a Sixers fan ‒ but he is a LeBron James fan. Wherever James goes, Knowles will follow.
