Cavaliers fans celebrate LeBron James' return

  • Intro:

    In celebration of LeBron James' return to Cleveland, Cavaliers fans ceremonially pulled one of his old jerseys from the ashes.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jason Herron, Cavaliers season ticket holder who burned his LeBron jersey four years ago:

    "I mean, what a day ... What a day! I mean, LeBron James comes back to Cleveland, comes back to home. I came up with this idea, full circle - we burned the jerseys, I know LeBron mentioned in the letter that he wrote that burning the jerseys was one of the reasons he was hesitant to come home so we wanted to come full circle and say 'hey, LeBron, you're back, you rose from the ashes, we welcome you back.' He's home, everything's great. That was full circle, this is the end of the saga now! The four year saga is over. This is awesome, we can't wait to start winning games."

    Q: Any regrets from four years ago?

    A: "Well, I mentioned this before - it's like being dumped by your girlfriend on national tv and left for a better looking guy. Of course you're going to do things you regret. So we burned the jerseys, four years later we regret it. He regrets the decision. (Cavaliers owner) Dan Gilbert regrets the letter. We have a bunch of regrets but, guess what? We're back together, better than ever. It's time to start winning championships in this city."
