Jim Brown was bigger than LeBron as they are a football town, LB3533.
I would say that Kosar there is held in equal esteem to LeBron which is pretty crazy but they love Bernie. James could fill the arena for basketball though. But the reality is they are a football town. I lived in Ohio for 40 years and could pick up their sports radio and channels. Football town, he is not the biggest ever but certainly the biggest in recent years.
I have never the draw to him, personally. He always chokes, never shot well. I think he has a comfort zone in that arena though and knew he would do well. I just hope it doesn't galvanize their team. Here is hoping that headcase LeBron continues. This guys weakness is definitely between the ears with his decision making and mental toughness. He had to play well last night or they would have imploded.
