>>Nike Releases Inspiring LeBron James Homecoming Ad

(Cleveland, OH) -- LeBron James' return to Cleveland as a Cavalier is inspiring a powerful new Nike ad. Titled "Together," the two-minute long, black-and-white clip starts with the Cavaliers in a pre-game huddle that eventually spreads across the city of Cleveland. Fans are seen huddling on streets and in alleyways, arms across each other's shoulders and chanting, "Hard work, together." "King James" also encourages his teammates to give back to the city in his pump-up speech in the clip.

After four seasons and two NBA championships with the Miami Heat, LeBron re-signed with the Cavs - the team he started with - earlier this year. The basketball star says he's going to work hard to also bring a title to his hometown.
