Home town is best. He wants to be famous, but what of his personal life? Does he not relish the joy of domesticity, seeing familiar faces of people he grew up with, that and giving to his city? No, and I think he will regret it when he’s old and gray.

Technically, James’ hometown in Crackron, though I suppose Cleveland is close enough. But are you sure you’re not giving James too much credit for a conscience, Jim? After all, he already had monster endorsements in Cleveland, and they would have given him almost as much as Miami.
Modern athletes are a pretty cold and calculating lot. I don’t see any contemporary equivalents to DiMaggio, who refused cigarette makers’ endorsement money, because he knew full well that they sought to use him, in order to lure kids into smoking.
