LeBron James Back in Cleveland Jersey

To the surprise of everyone, James was caught earlier today in a Cleveland uniform - but not the one he used to wear.

Speculation has been picking up all season regarding where LeBron James will end up next season. Should he choose to opt out of the final year of his deal, many fans, particularly those in the Cleveland area, hope that a return to the Cavs could be a possibility.

To the surprise of everyone, James was caught earlier today in a Cleveland uniform - but not the one he used to wear.

Similar to his friend Drake, LeBron has never shied away from associating himself with the winners. Yankees hat at an Indians game? Check. Sidelines for the Cowboys? You know it. His favorite hoops team growing up was the Bulls.

So how could winning possibly be associated with LeBron ending up in a Cleveland uniform once again? When it's a Johnny Football jersey, of course. (Manziel happens to be represented by James' LRMR sports marketing firm.)

While LeBron's playoff duties kept him from being there in person, Drake held things down at the draft celebration. LeBron showed his loyalty in his own way however, by wearing his Manziel Browns jersey on the Heat's team plane (a perfect complement to his Riccardo Tisci AF1s) - which surely will have people talking about his future.
