Larry Bird is among those that hope LeBron James re-signs with the Cavaliers.

"I hope he stays in Cleveland," Bird told the New York Daily News.

"He's from Ohio and he means so much to that team and that state. I used to love to go and play in Cleveland because they love the game. And, I like to see the great players stay in the cities and with the teams that drafted them. It means so much for the league and the state. So I would rather see him stay."
