The Dan Le Batard Show · There's Always This Year (feat. Hanif Abdurraqib) · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

And the other thing on the other side of that is, well, if she doesn't come back, there's at least an audience who can see how vulnerable and sad I am, so someone will come back, you know?

We'll take anyone.

Yeah, I was like, I don't know if I can curse on here.

I'm glad you clocked that.

I was like, well, don't let me.

Yeah, I mean, I think in some ways, Cleveland fans, and I don't want to speak for them on the whole in mass, but there's been tons of writing on this and mythologizing on this.

There's an inferiority thing, right?

There's like an inferiority.

So to have someone choose them, because LeBron was drafted there and he was happy to go there, but to have someone say, I choose to be here.

You know, I think there is some sense of relief and pleasure, but it's masked by this inferiority thing that can only be satiated by flipping the script and being like, oh yeah, you know, we'll take you, it's fine.

But I mean, like Cleveland fans are also wild.

And I mean, that Dan Gilbert letter was wild.

You know, that shit was like Comic Sans, not only the Comic Sans, but the actual language.

And so I think there was so much resentment built up by Cleveland fans.

Every time he won with Miami, there was like a new layer of resentment that was built.

And so the only thing you can do, if you have that level of resentment and you believe he is not coming back, is that when he does come back, you can't take back the Berringers, you can't take back the shoes and the trash can, you can't take back all the things you publicly said.

You gotta be like, okay, fine, I'll accept it, I guess.

So there is some of that, too.

You know, I think, I was thinking about this the other day, had he not come back and won a championship, I think his legacy looks a lot different in Ohio.

Even him coming back at the time was not seen as good enough.
