LAKEWOOD, Ohio - Fans burned their LeBron James #23 jerseys following the King's announcement that he was leaving Cleveland for Miami Thursday night.
Our crew, which was set up at Harry Buffalo in Lakewood, captured video of the fans' reaction outside the sports bar.
Fans were visibly upset about LeBron's decision, some said they hope LeBron never wins a championship. The video of the burning jerseys was shown during LeBron's live interview on ESPN, too.
Here are downloadable images of burning LeBron jerseys from a NewsChannel5 viewer who attended a jersey burning ceremony in Westlake (click photo to download full-size image):
Outside Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland police arrested one fan who became unruly while our crew was recording video. He was taken into custody.
