LeBron's return has the Cleveland Cavaliers making their first appearance in the NBA Finals since 2007, where they will face the winner of the Houston/Golden State series.
This was the 5th time the Cavs have played in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they are now:
2-0 vs teams from cities on I-75
0-2 vs teams from cities on I-90
0-1 vs teams from cities on I-4
Lil' B threatened the Cavaliers with a curse but Iman Shumpert menaged to chat with Lil B

Some talked of a curse on Cleveland teams who didn't won a championship since 1964. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_sports_curse althought the Cleveland Crunch of the late NPSL had won a championship in 1994. I hope the Cavaliers will break this curse so the Browns will win a Super Bowl and the Indians will win a World Series again.
Here a clip showing the Cleveland Crunch winning in 1994.

The only reason the Cavs are in the Finals is because the league wants LeBron in the Finals and he has NO competition in the East. If he were out west, they'd been out in the first or second round.
The Golden State Warriors return to the Finals after 40 years.
I'd probably root for Cleveland if they didn't have Lebron if they weren't playing my home team
As the Cavs defeated my Bulls in an earlier playoff round, I will root for the Warriors in the Finals.
Wow I thought Lebron made a bad move when he decided to return to the Cavs. I thought the agents made bad advice to leave the Heat.
With Kyrie Irving out for the season with a fractured kneecap and Kevin Love with a torn up shoulder, the Cavs are done. Lebron can't get it done on his own.
If the Warriors don't get the championship it'll be because they gave it away.
Maybe next year...
Some had jumped the gun and might give a curse or jinx http://kingjamesgospel.com/2015/05/31/cavaliers-fan-curse-nba-finals-photo/
The Warriors won game 1 and they plan to sweep the Cavs, but it's not over: Lebron James is among the best NBA players in this decade, he helped the Miami Heat in 4 straight NBA finals appearances. Not since 1964 did a NBA player (Bill Russell) appeared in 5 finals in a row. While my wife is a Lakers fan, she's watching the Warriors from her native SF Bay area, because it's a rarity for a non-Lakers victory in CA.
The Warriors had won, the Cleveland curse had striked again.
For the second time in a row, LeBron James is on the losing end of a Finals result. I'm happy for the Warriors, who ended their 40-year wait.
