Even After Joining Miami Heat, LeBron James Can't Seem to Leave Ohio

LeBron James is once again back in Ohio, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

The Miami Heat forward was spotted Friday evening at the Wadsworth vs. Wooster football game in Wooster, Ohio, supposedly to watch his cousin who starts for Wadsworth.

This continues a trend of potentially awkward moments between the former King and his old kingdom, and according to James it won’t be the last.

LeBron has taken to his twitter account publicly rooting for the Ohio State Buckeyes in their upcoming game September 11^th against, of all teams, the Miami Hurricanes, the same school James and other members of the Heat have been frequenting for pick up games.

James has also hinted at the possibility of attending the game, much to the objection of Buckeye fans.

Now we’ve all had those awkward moments where we run into an old flame at the movies, grocery store, or other common area. First, you try not to act like you notice them, then you strategically devise a master plan to avoid being seen, and exit the area as if you were breaking out of Shawshank itself.

James now becomes that significant other, and seems to be relishing all the attention that comes with it.  While Cleveland fans are going through the “it’s over with, let’s move on” stage, everywhere they look their South Beach bound ex is there to greet them, like nothing ever happened.

Cedar Point is one example.  Not only does LeBron strut around like the locals won’t notice, but he again makes like a bird and lets the whole world know he’s back. Naturally, he received the proper heckling shooting hoops no less (he missed every shot). Florida has Disney World, Sea World, and Universal Studios, so why are you at Cedar Point?

As oblivious as he was when he did his ESPN special, LeBron needs to realize he isn’t welcome in the majority of the state. Yes, Akron will still welcomes him back simply because of the money his publicity raises in his basketball camps and bike-a-thons (even though he cut his usual ride short by 8 miles) but outside of the Rubber City, who really wants him around?

The real kicker was when his girlfriend and mother of his children, Savannah Brinson, publicly announced that Cleveland was “home” and that Miami was “not my favorite place."

It was also announced that his two children, LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus would stay in Akron area schools. What was once a 30 mile difference between work and home now becomes 1,200. Brinson also stated that she would be splitting time between Miami and Akron. This brings up one small dilemma, while LeBron and Savannah are sipping Mojitos watching the South Beach sunset, who’s going to be watching the kids?

James doesn’t even seem to realize that he left, like his Decision was all just one brainwashed incident. With all these great reasons to stay in Ohio, the question would be, why not just stay in Ohio?
