| Cheers in Miami, Jeers in Cleveland |

James' decision to join the Miami Heat was received with just about every emotion imaginable, especially in Cleveland, where a native son of Ohio won two MVP trophies and was revered like almost no other athlete in the city's long history.
At 9:27 p.m., when James announced his choice, that all changed forever.
