They came wanting their pound of flesh from number 23, and if they stuck around long enough they got at least a piece.
A packed crowd of like-minded fans gathered at
The Barley House on West Sixth Street to vent their frustration, and at the same time have a few laughs the night before LeBron James makes his return to Quicken Loans Arena.
The night included the roasting of an 80-pound pig with the number 23 blow torched on its rear end (LeBron's jersey number with the Cavaliers). Fans were able to dump their LeBron jerseys in a trash bin, throw darts at LeBron's picture, and compete for prizes with their best LeBron jokes (we're not able to print them here).
The night also included an opportunity for Derrick Tatum and Ralph Reynolds of Atlanta to sell shirts and buttons they created, and are selling under the label "Queen James 23."
Tatum, a 1999 graduate of Shaker Heights High School, developed the line along with Reynolds.
"This is a reflection on how I feel," Tatum said. "Cleveland is a special city. We showed LeBron love and he embarrassed our city on national television. He'll never be welcomed back here."
