LeBron James, Cavs teammates fire up crowd before Indians’ playoff game

Maybe a little playoff luck will rub off on the Tribe.

Last June LeBron James ended Cleveland’s 52-year title drought — with a little help from his friends — when the Cavaliers came back from 3-1 down to beat the Golden State Warriors. Now the Indians are at home for their first-round playoff showdown with the Boston Red Sox, and before Game 2 Friday LeBron, J.R. Smith, and a few other Cavaliers came out to fire up the crowd.

LeBron — the hometown kid from Akron, although he has said in the past he’s a Yankee’s fan — and the Cavs had already done a good luck video for the Indians.

Best of luck tonight & all October long, @Indians! #YourTurn

Let’s #RallyTogether, Cleveland! https://t.co/3lsxflVsNY

So far so good. As of this writing, Cleveland was on the verge of going up 2-0 in the best-of-five series.
