LeBron James: Suspend Acting: 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 11th against, of all teams, the Miami Hurricanes, the same school James and other members of the Heat have been frequenting for pick up games.

LeBron James Go On: Give up Fans: If Cleveland fans are looking for a new hero to carry the Cavaliers’ banner in the aftermath of LeBron James’ departure, they should line up behind star guard Mo Williams.

If the Cavaliers are looking for a new face for the franchise, they should look no further than to their veteran guard. The Cavs’ second-leading scorer for the last two seasons bumped into James at Hopkins International Airport over the weekend. It was their first face-to-face encounter since James left behind his former teammates, home turf, and fans in a slickly marketed, highly publicized, personal pursuit of trophies in Miami.

LeBron James Heckling at Paternity Lawsuit:  LeBron James wants a court to be as dismissive as he is over a lawsuit filed by a man who claims to be his father. TMZ broke the story ... Leicester Bryce Stovell filed a $4 million lawsuit against LeBron and Gloria James, the NBA star's mom, claiming fraud and defamation.

Now attorneys for LeBron and Gloria have asked a judge to dismiss the suit, labeling it "rank speculation." According to the new legal docs obtained by TMZ, LeBron's lawyers scoffed at "... a man who claims that as a twenty-nine year old lawyer he got a 15-year old girl pregnant during a one-night stand and who never contributed a penny in child support would earn millions in commercial endorsements by crawling out of the wood-work after the child he never gave a thought to became an NBA star."The new docs also note the results of a DNA test which show "0% probability of paternity."

Thing is, if the once happy-go-lucky James embarks on a 2010-11 payback tour -- as Chris Bosh has suggested  -- he won't be the first athlete fueled by Haterade.

Far from it. In fact, without naysayers, doubters and straight-up player haters, sports stars ranging from Clinton Portis to.

Michael Jordan to Tim Tebow -- yes, even our beloved football savior! -- probably wouldn't be motivated to get out of bed in the morning, let alone crush their sporting enemies underfoot.

All of which is why I'm proposing a new front office position: official hate coordinator. Look, it's time to bring real and imagined slings and arrows in house. In fact, it's overdue.

For those who travel by private jet and own multiple homes, it's hard to say where they really live.One important measure, however, is where their kids go to school. And according to an interview with Savannah Brinson -- the mother of LeBron James' children and his longtime partner -- the kids and she will be staying in Ohio for the school year. "Cleveland," says Brinson, " is home." Lola Ogunnaike reports in Harper's Bazaar:

She admits it took her some time to warm to the idea of life in South Beach. "Personally, Miami was not my favorite place. Vacationing there is great: You go for three days and get some sun, and it's time to go home," she explains. But the weather helped win her over.

LeBron James feels much of love in Akron, and this he announces worldwide that he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat while he was highly cheered by his hometown – Akron.

James enjoyed his lovely Saturday in Akron while at a State Farm King for Kids Bike-a-thon event followed by 400 children, with each of the bikes saying out loud – “I love Akron.”

“Look, he’s here, isn’t he?” said Cornelius Jenkins, a 34 year old warehouse worker in Akron “So long as he keeps doing stuff like this for the community, I don’t have a problem with him at all.

It wasn't very long ago that LeBron James called Springhill Apartments home. Today, the 25-year-old multimillion-dollar athlete draws.

On his memories of living in the West Akron complex (characterized as ''a problem area'' by officers who answered frequent calls there at the time) to inspire his charitable contributions to local youths.

''He knows the place that he comes from and he's not that far removed from the age of the kids he's giving to — he was 17 years old when he was living in Springhill,'' said Maverick Carter, James' business partner and friend of about 20 years.

It's not often that we get to witness a full-color, slow-motion, and entirely self-motivated, fall from grace -- President Clinton's wasn't self-motivated; thank Gingrich and Starr for that.

But over the course of the summer, that's exactly what we've been treated to courtesy of LeBron James. James and his fans and detractors have managed to turn.

The entire state of Ohio into a preschool playground, and no one -- Clevelander, Akronite, or unaffiliated Ohioan -- has been able to restrain himself from flinging sand in other people's faces.

It should be noted that, while James himself threw the first fistful, it wasn't by opting to flee Ohio for Florida. Though his departure might have seen a bit disloyal to Cavaliers fans.

When an athlete brings a city's basketball team back to relevance, his departure is sure to bring out the worst in his fans.

When a "hometown" athlete nationally denounces his commitment to a franchise and city on a one-hour special on ESPN: he becomes Public Enemy No. 1.

This has become the fate of the man formally nicknamed "The Chosen One." LeBron James has devastated a city that has been torn apart in the past.

Not only has Cleveland not tasted a professional championship since 1964, but they have had one of the proudest, more storied NFL franchises ripped from their hearts by the former Public Enemy No. 1: Art Modell.

Mix in the Cleveland Indians coming up short numerous times, Michael Jordan breaking the Cavaliers' hearts with "The Shot," and John Elway killing Browns' fans with "The Drive."
