LeBron and champion Cavs get hero’s welcome in Cleveland

A beaming LeBron James returned home to wild celebration on Monday when he stepped off the Cleveland Cavaliers' team plane carrying the long-coveted NBA title he promised to deliver for the city's long-suffering fans. The mere sight of James set off loud cheers from adoring fans who showed up to thank the greatest basketball player on the planet for leading Cleveland past the Golden State Warriors in a decisive seventh game of the NBA Finals on Sunday. The players did not address the crowd but James appeared to take a shot at the Warriors as he disembarked the plane wearing a blue 'Ultimate Warrior' T-Shirt while holding the glittering NBA championship trophy high above his head.
