In the end the pull of home and history was too great. LeBron James will return to the place that saw him draw a national TV audience while still a prep at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. The same place that cursed and raged at his decision to take his talents to South Beach after lifting the Cavaliers to new heights.

Yes, LeBron James is coming home — more determined than ever to end Cleveland’s long title drought which spans the gamut of pro sports. Suddenly, Johnny Football places a distant second as the most interesting sports story in Ohio.

SOUNDTRACK FOR THE RETURN OF THE KING

Little did Sean Combs (aka Diddy) realize when he wrote his 2010 anthem “Coming Home”, that the lyrics would perfectly complement “The Decision” version 2.0.

I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming
— Lyrics to Diddy's 2010 hit Coming Home

UPDATE: Skylar Grey, the featured singer on the chorus of “Coming Home”, used her iPhone to post a tribute to LeBron with ever-so-slightly modified lyrics. Seems that Cleveland is getting all the love these days (maybe Kevin too).
