The Ohio native addressed LeBron's decision to join the Sixers rather than the Cavaliers.
"LeBron, come on, man. You didn't pick Cleveland this last time, and we don't hold it against you.
Most of us didn't burn our jerseys. We're very proud of you and respect you.

"We love it. Come check us out in Philly.
TNA is the place to be. It's going to be an absolute blast.
You may see a brand new champion, but most importantly, you'll see me do what I do best is steal the show and walk on the street."
