LeBron James wore a special jersey honoring Akron's past at practice on Thursday. Just don't expect to find it in stores.
After a partnership between Goodyear and the Cleveland Cavaliers was announced this week, the Akron tire company sent Akron Wingfoots jerseys to Cavs players and head coach Tyronn Lue.
