But there is too much focused on it.
And you are surprised Cleveland fans welcomed him back? Any fan base would welcome back the best player in the league. Let alone a city starved for a championship

Yep, especially in the NBA where a true star player is the difference between being a contender and almost literally not having a shot at a championship.
There's not enough to go around in this league either, so I doubt it was "OMG welcome back LeBron we loved you all along even though you bailed on us!!". It was "Man, I hated him for what he did but without him we're not a contender and with him we are, so welcome back!!"
The fans had visions of tonight happening when they welcomed him back".
