The NBA season kicks off in style this weekend with LeBron James heading to Chicago in his new old uniform for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The homegrown star returns to his Akron, OH roots and heads into a hostile United Center hoping to see championship banners hanging from the rafters again.

In football, the Ravens and Steelers meet up on Sunday in Pittsburgh, with the Steelers looking for a little revenge at home.

In theaters, Saw gets a re-release for Halloween and Nightcrawler offers up creepiness of its own as new Beyonce/Jay-Z bestie Jake Gyllenhall goes for Oscar cred in this critically acclaimed takedown of the media’s increasing taste for tastelessness.

On stage, Ne-Yo heads to the Chi and Dave Chappelle and Avant are both in the Lou, which could use some good vibes this weekend.

Have a fun and safe Halloween.
