Where has this been disproven and by whom? I agree that the internet changes things but the fact of the matter is that Cleveland is still Cleveland, not a real activity hub for anything really. Other than Gretsky I can't really think of many sports icons (which is what Lebron wants to be) that were not in a major market.
