Description: Ken takes heat from callers after arguing the Cavs need to make a genuine, public effort to bring LeBron back rather than assume nostalgia alone will do the trick. Multiple callers, including one who compares Bob Myers' pitch to a "pathetic loser" move, push back that a legend like LeBron shouldn't need to be courted and that the Cavs have already done their work behind the scenes. Ken clarifies he's not asking anyone to beg, just to give LeBron real basketball reasons to return rather than taking his loyalty for granted the way he felt taken for granted in 2010. The segment closes with a callback to their old "Cleveland Classic" bit, floating other beloved former Cleveland players like Francisco Lindor they'd want to see return.
