CLEVELAND (AP) -Now there’s nothing to do but wait.
The streets of downtown Cleveland were quiet Thursday afternoon as the hour drew nearer for LeBron James to announce whether he’ll stay with the Cavaliers.
The city – where fans have sung, danced and cheered in a campaign to keep James here – has nothing official planned during the one-hour special airing at 9 p.m. on ESPN. Extra police officers will be stationed downtown to handle any crowds.
Bars and restaurants throughout the region are hosting “LeBron Watch” parties featuring dunk tanks, beer specials and poster giveaways. Frank Borally, owner of The Purple Shamrock bar, says he’ll pick up the food tab for anyone who stays from 7 p.m. until the announcement is made – if James chooses the Cavs.
