Hear that? You know, that loud, dulcet buzzing? It’s fans of the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and every other potential LeBron James suitor, humming along to the music in their ears that began playing on Sunday night, after the Cleveland Cavaliers lost their fourth game in five tries.

When asked by ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon [...]
