When the Celtics sent the Cavaliers home after a convincing game six win. It was Boston heading to the NBA Finals and the start of what has been noted as the LeBron James sweepstakes. New Yorker’s wasted no time marshalling the cities resource to convince LeBron that the Big Apple should be his new home.
