Publisher’s Summary

The inside story of LeBron James’ return and ultimate triumph in Cleveland.

What really happened when LeBron James stunned the NBA by leaving a potential dynasty in Miami to come home to play with the Cleveland Cavaliers? How did the Cavs use secret meetings to put together the deal to add star Kevin Love? Who really made the controversial decision to fire coach David Blatt when the team was in first place? Where did the greatest comeback in NBA history truly begin – and end?

Return of the King takes you onto the private planes, inside the locker room conversations, and into the middle of the intense huddles where one of the greatest stories in basketball history took place, resulting in the Cavs winning the 2016 NBA title after trailing the Golden State Warriors three games to one.

You’ll hear from all the characters involved – the players, the executives, the agents, and the owners – as they reveal stories never before told. Get the background on all the controversies, the rivalries, and the bad blood from two reporters who were there for every day, plot twist, and social media snafu as they take you through the fascinating ride that culminated in a heart-stopping game seven.

    Windy is the best

    Windy (and Dave) tell this story masterfully. You would never believe some of the things in this book, until you remember that they actually happened.

    Could Not Stop Listening!

    This boom was incredible! I listened to it in just over a day. I could not stop listening! I can't remember the last time I've enjoyed a book this much. Reliving that championship run had be walking to work grinning like an idiot. I can't recommend this book enough!

    I’m Surprised How Much I Got From This

    I’m from Chicago. I grew up with MJ and Walter Payton at the same time. Mike set the bench mark. D Rose had heart out of this world. With that said, I am not a Lebron fan. I respect and admire what he has done professionally and personally. My feelings for James softened, after wanting the Bulls to shut him up during his time with the Heat, when he announced he was going back to Cleveland. There was something right about that decision, some thing honorable, respectful. This book took me deep into that time and that world. Each event, each person, described in it, you could feel the intensity, there perspective. James is no saint, but you have to admire his resolve and will. You have to admire his TEAM. Clutch Sports created a new way to manage the agency process. The GM, Griffin is just as important as anyone in the book. Leadership, foresight and execution are principles that are strongly highlighted in the book.

    Great insight

    Good look into what it took to get them to the championship and what it took to bring the team together

    very insightful view behind the scenes

    Windhorst and Dave M do a great job detailing chronologically LeBron James journey from Summer 2014 to the night the Cavs won the title. I would recommend also reading Windhorst book "LeBron Inc" because it allows the reader/listener to appreciate more this book's unique perspective

    Lord of the (3) Rings

    Whether or not you like LeBron James, this book is a fascinating insight to one of the most unlikely stories in NBA history, with detailed and incredible insights from Windhorst. Windhorst does an excellent job of detailing the drama, history, and legacy of the Cavs, while giving an unbiased look into the King himself. I would highly recommend to anyone who called themself an NBA fan; you will not be disappointed!

    A nice review

    That was an awesome book. The author goes into great depth about Lebron without being yellow at all. I recommend. The narration is really nice.
