<p>This epic homecoming tale recounts one of the greatest Cleveland sports stories ever -- how LeBron James and the Cavaliers took fans on a roller coaster ride from despair to hope and, finally, to glory as the 2016 NBA champions.</p> <p>Fans felt gut-punched in 2010 when local hero and MVP LeBron James announced he was leaving the Cavaliers and Northeast Ohio for Miami. The Cavs nose-dived in the standings and struggled to recover.</p> <p>Then, in June 2014, LeBron announced he was coming home. And he had a mission: Lead the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals and give Cleveland its first championship in 52 years.</p> <p>But would LeBron's return be enough to restore his reputation, revive the franchise, and reward the long-suffering fans?</p> <p>Veteran Cleveland sportswriter Terry Pluto tells how it all happened. </p> <p>How LeBron won back fans with a heartfelt message -- and savvy PR . . .</p> <p>How the Cavs' front office crafted a championship-caliber team with a big three of James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love and a bench stocked not only with talent but character and chemistry . . .</p> <p>How LeBron's added experience from four seasons and two titles in Miami prepared him for this second chance in Cleveland . . .</p> <p>How the Cavaliers reached the 2016 NBA Finals to face a Golden State Warriors team, led by MVP Stephen Curry, that had just set the NBA record for wins and had vanquished the Cavs in the Finals the previous season . . .</p> <p>How LeBron and the Cavs, down a historically hopeless three games to one, sparked an unprecedented come-from-behind surge (symbolized by LeBron's superhuman block in Game 7) to stun Golden State and bring home the NBA Championship . . .</p> <p>And how the ecstatic fans joined the team in a joyful celebration that brought more than a million people together in downtown Cleveland.</p> <p>Pluto tells it all with insightful analysis, extensive front-office details, and a deep empathy for the fans.</p>
