When LeBron James prepared to return to Cleveland for the first time as a member of the Miami Heat for Thursday's national TV game against the Cavaliers, everyone feared the worst. The Heat didn't announce their travel plans or practice schedule to local media, fearing a fan crush or worse. Extra security was brought into Quicken Loans Arena to prevent fans from getting too close to their villain, and every precaution short of wrapping LeBron in kevlar was taken.
