LeBrons Return To CLE - What TV didnt show!

[TheBShue]

I am assuming some of you are just as disappointed with LeBron going to Miami as I was. So you can imagine how crazy it was when he returned to Cleveland! But I made a short video of that day & in game documenting the experience! Got pretty much everything you couldnt see/hear on TV! All the profane chants, signs and Heat fans getting covered in beer! Note, I was not involved in any of the throwing stuff at fans... would not do that! Let me know what you think! Appreciate all good/bad feedback!

Any anti LeMarie Antoinette post will usually get a TP from me. Thanks for posting.

EDIT: I should add though that the way the crowd was treating Miami fans was shameful and uncalled for.

[incoherent]

The Delonte chant is great.

[Green4ever]

Most immature fans in the NBA... most definitely. Cleveland makes me like Lebron. Seriously treating the Miami fans like that, GET OVER IT. Leave delonte and scottie alone. Honestly, for this display of immaturity all cleveland deserves is a first class ticket to the lottery probably for a long time because I cant see any big time player wanting to play for that city. Just shameful.

Throwing beer at people isn't being a real fan. I liked some of the other stuff, though, especially at the beginning of the vid.

I'm glad some of you fans went at him more than it looked like on TV, because it was rather pathetic watching it at home.

While I don't condone throwing beer on anyone, those guys were obviously desperate for attention and antagonizing the crowd with the huge lead. I would think twice about going into Fenway in full Yankee attire and start talking trash when the Yanks went up by 9 runs. If I did, I would not be surprised if I got a beer shower.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have went to the game, but they could have left the jerseys at home this time and waited 'til next year to break them out at the Q when emotions aren't nearly as high.

Honestly, I can't stand to even look at the guy, (it makes me nauseous), but all the Cleveland fans are doing is making themselves look like idiots. However, the cultivation of hatred in this whole story started at the top with Dan Gilbert, and having set the example, it has now taken on a life of it's own, and it's going to get someone seriously injured or worse. I mean, throwing stuff on Miami fans after they've paid good money to see their team?!? Those people should be seriously ashamed of themselves, as well as anyone who condones that kind of behavior. Heated competition and rivalry is a part of sports and always has been ... abusive behavior is not.

bahahahaaa luv it

While I usually have little patience for beer throwing and nonsense like that, the Miami fans are idiots. They had to be very aware that Clev fans went their to vent their anger and frustration. Any Miami fan who wore a Miami jersey in the cheap seats is stupid.

I suppose that some of the Miami fans figured Wade jerseys wouldn't draw the same ire, but you have to play it safer as you get to higher altitudes in an arena.

[Tough Juice]

just made my day

[screwedupmaniac]

Cleveland's a classy city haha, awesome (minus throwing stuff at the fans at the end of the clip...but those fans should also have known better).

Oh, and nice marketing plug at the end haha...hope the vid helps you sell high on that busted LeBron bobblehead.

[Celtics4ever]

Great Vitriol.  Cleveland has always had passionate fans.  The driving scenes were downright dangerous though.  Too bad their fans had more passion than their team that night.

Amazing how much TV covered up the hate. I hate LeBron and I have to admit he responded well to the hate for once.

[dark_lord]

wearing miami gear, standing up, and antagonizing cavs fans when you know the atmosphere and intensity of the situation, you can expect to get messed with and things thrown at u.  im not necessary condoning the behavior, but if you want attention you will get it. no sympathy for the miami fans whatsoever from me.

cool vid to see first hand footage of the experience.

[CelticHooligan3]

Everyone seems to be missing the main and most tragic point here... ALL THAT BEER IS GOING TO WASTE!!!

I agree with you for the most part, and would never condone nor waste beer by throwing it or anything else at other people in the seats. But seriously, how many Miami Heat fans live in Cleveland??  These are just the same bandwagon jumpers that like the Yankees, Lakers, or whoever is popular at the time.  I've got no sympathy for them.  And if you want to wear the jersey of "your team" to an away game, that's perfectly fine.  But if you're going to antagonize the home fans during a rout, don't expect to leave the arena dry.  There's no way you're going to get 20,000 well-behaved fans.
