Even when LeBron James is off the hardwood, he manages to become the talk of the town. Amid his escalating trade buzz following the $52.6 million player option opt in, the Lakers star recently took the hoop community by storm without uttering a single word. During a casual golfing session, he posted a selfie on his Instagram story, and everyone’s attention immediately went to the phrase “Welcome Home” printed on his cap. Was he hinting at a potential return to his hometown of Cleveland for one final run?
Many believed so, and soon after, Cavs rumors started buzzing. But King James has seemingly cleared the air on the speculations with his latest action. You see, after his “Hat Gate” went viral, Homecoming Network’s Founder Paul Rivera posted a video to provide clarity on the controversy, “Wanted to check in with you guys about this little thing called ‘hat gate.’ I did not expect this hat right here ‘Welcome Home’ to turn the sports world upside down a couple days ago… This hat you see right here that everyone went crazy about, that everyone thought was some sort of secret message. If you just turn it around, you’ll see it’s a Homecoming Network hat.”
Yes, Paul clarified that there was no secret message behind LeBron’s choice of cap, and it was just a way to support his venture. “Wish it was juicier, salacious information. Just a brother supporting his brother.” The Founder remarked. Turns out, LBJ confirmed that message by reposting Rivera’s video, shutting down the rumors of a Cavs reunion for now.
