Lebron’s Appearance
Akron, OH – With thousands of his hometown fans on hand, LeBron James made a dramatic – and very late – appearance at “LeBron Appreciation Day.”

A crowd estimated at 3,500 had already begun to depart Akron’s InfCision Stadium on Saturday when James walked through a side entrance and made his way down to the playing field.
Hundreds of fans rushed back inside as James was presented with a crystal trophy, which had already been placed back inside a box before his surprise appearance. After a few words, the two-time MVP then left the stadium as quickly as he entered.
James was being honored not far from where he grew up in a city he affectionately calls home. Fans were on hand in an effort to convince the soon-to-be free agent not to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers.
