The LeBron-a-thon is already in full swing, with the promise of a rise out of NBA obscurity delivered by one mighty ping pong ball.
By securing the No. 1 pick, Cleveland has resuscitated its franchise, securing the services of a hometown hero. With new unis, a new coach and a new icon, ticket sales will go through the roof.
