Report: Cavaliers season tickets sold out within eight hours of LeBron's decision

Call it the LeBron James effect.

According to ESPN's Darren Rovell, the Cleveland Cavaliers "all but sold out" of season tickets within eight hours of James' decision to return to the team that drafted him.

With almost 12,000 seats snagged, there will only be 8,000 seats available on a per-game basis next season. The deposit amount for tickets increased from $200 to $500 following James' announcement, but that did little to deter fans.
