Welcome Home @kingjames. I am excited for the fans and people of Cleveland and Ohio. No fans and people deserve a winner more than them.....

And Heat owner Micky Arison wished James well on his way out of Miami.
I am shocked & disappointed in today's news. However I will never forget what Lebron brought us for 4 years. Thanks for memories @KingJames

Cavs owner Dan Gilbert welcomed him back to Cleveland in a far different manner than how he had reacted to James' decision in 2010.
