LeBron James Sent Cupcakes to Neighbors as an Apology for Chaos Surrounding 'the Decision II'

LeBron James is making all the right moves to shift from being the guy everyone loves to hate--especially basketball fans in Cleveland--to the most beloved guy in town (at least in Cleveland). For some all it took was coming back to Ohio to play for the Cavaliers, but for others the memory of 'the Decision' still burns.

His essay that Sports Illustrated posted will help turn some of them. Others will probably turn when the season starts--but he wanted to make sure his neighbors turned a little sooner.

So he sent them an apology for the mess in the neighborhood in the days leading up to the Decision II--and some delicious cupcakes:

People trampled LeBron’s neighborhood during The Decision 2.0, so he bought everyone cupcakes! http://t.co/pTtUN9tQSV pic.twitter.com/JhDqXTo4lA

Each box contained a dozen cupcaks-- six "Just A Kid From Akron Cherry Cola" ones and six "Homecourt Chocolate Chunk" ones.
Was it a calculated gesture intended to create positive press? That's what the cynical will believe, but word is the cupcakes are delicious.

I can't speak for LeBron's neighbors, but I can't stay mad at someone that buys me a dozen cupcakes.
