After basketball "king" LeBron James announced he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Miami Heat during Thursday's (July 8) live press conference, his famous friends and fans instantly flocked to Twitter to discuss the move. Diddy, Sean Kingston, Rick Ross, Justin Bieber and Trey Songz were among the celebrities expressing their excitement -- and some disappointment -- with James' decision to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh over in the Sunshine City.
