Albert Belle wants a video tribute, thinks fans should "act professional" before they boo Lebron

Always great to hear from Albert Belle. The former Indian, who was always one for the vitriol of Cleveland fans, gave his thoughts on Lebron James' first return to Cleveland to play the Cavaliers as a member of the Miami Heat.

"My advice to LeBron is to take the high road and act professional," said Belle. "I hope the fans do the same. I don't want them to embarrass themselves on TV. I'd like to see everybody hug and kiss before the game and then the fans can boo the heck out of LeBron during the game."

Of course, that's just one more hat in the ring of Cleveland's own "what should I do" moment. But Belle had one of the more unique ideas out there...a video tribute to Belle himself.

If there isn't a video tribute to James, Belle had another idea.

"Maybe they could do one of me," said Belle, with a laugh. "I never got one when I came back to Cleveland. They did it for Sandy Alomar, Jim Thome, Kenny Lofton. ... Now that LeBron is catching heat, maybe they can give me one."

Hard to believe that's going to happen Albert.
