From the AP:

LeBron James' hometown is throwing him a big party. Nobody knows whether it's a farewell bash yet -- or whether he's even coming. James' contributions to Akron will be celebrated on Saturday at "LeBron Appreciation Day," an event organized by community leaders to show the local superstar how much he is loved as he approaches NBA free agency on July 1. Organizers said James is aware of the event, but they don't know whether he'll attend. A message seeking comment about a possible appearance by James was left with his publicist.

Poor Ohio. Fasolamatt, any thoughts?
