Cleveland, Ohio -- For seven years, it's been pretty clear that LeBron James -- Mr. I was born here, I was raised here, I play here -- has been Cleveland's favorite son in terms of sports. Shoot, maybe even longer that, considering how he was fawned over at St. Vincent-St. Mary.

But now, he's gone. James has decided his best chance at an NBA title is with Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat (various suggestions have called them "The Three I-Me Egos" and "Three Men and a Maybe"). It leaves a void in a lot of Northeast Ohio sports fans' hearts.

Who's going to fill that void? Starting Blocks has a couple of ideas, but you're invited to use the comments section below to offer yours, as well.
