This past Saturday, LeBron James made his first public appearance since leaving the Cavaliers to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat at the annual King for Kids charity bike race. King for Kids is an annual community event organized by James to encourage children to exercise and lead healthy lifestyles.

On this occasion, LeBron James sent his thanks to Cleveland as well as the fans who have supported him throughout the past time. James said: “To the city of Cleveland, my fans in Cleveland, my fans in Northeast Ohio; I want to say thank you for the past seven years and the years to come.”
As if saying thank you just once could not express his feelings, James repeated: “I want to thank the city of Cleveland and all of Northeast Ohio for all the wonderful years I have had.”
Cavs fans and Lebron James himself were furious with the two-time MVP when he announced on live television that he would be joining the Miami Heat instead of staying with the team he had been with for the past 7 years. Will James ‘s words of thanks make things any easier?
Shaquille O’Neal is looking for a new nickname at Celtic
15-time NBA All-Star Shaquille O’Neal has signed a two-year contract with the Boston Celtics. After his contract expires, Shaq is likely to retire after a stellar 20-year career. Joining the Celtics, joining the “Big Three” of Paul Pierce , Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen , O’Neal could potentially win his fourth NBA championship.
O’Neal will no longer face Celtic.
The former Los Angeles Lakers star is currently trying to come up with a new nickname that fits the club he has just signed with. On Twitter, Shaquille O’Neal asked for a new nickname: “Hello Green City, do you have a nickname?” Some of the suggestions that have gained a lot of support include: “The Big Shamrock”; “The Big Leprechaun” and “The Green Monster”. However, the veteran center has not shown any interest in any of the nicknames.
O’Neal was once a very good teammate of Kobe Bryant .
O’Neal ‘s nicknames at his former clubs included “Shaq-Daddy” or “The Big Shaqtus” while with Phoenix and “The Big Witness” when playing for Cleveland alongside LeBron James .
