- Just in time for LeBron's historical visit to Cleveland, a report springs up that the Cleveland Cavaliers are pouring thousands of dollars to investigate tampering of NBA rules in the Heat's pursuit of LeBron James. Sources say: One focus of the law firm’s probe includes an alleged Riley-James meeting in Miami in November 2009, and a meeting of James’ inner circle with Wade in Chicago in June 201o.

- Matt Bellamy -- famous for his removal from a Cleveland Indians game to prevent a riot thanks to his choice of apparel (Miami Heat LeBron James jersey) -- will be attending Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday for the hyped Cavaliers-Heat game. The instigator, who will wear his Heat jersey once again, had a sunny outlook on the matter: ""I want the Cavs to win. But I still respect LeBron. I respect the player he has become. I don’t like the fact he left Cleveland, but I’m not going to hate on him for wanting to go get his ring."
