Cleveland, at least one Atlanta nightclub feels your pain.

Basketball star LeBron James is taking his talents to one local club, which has left a competing bar feeling stiffed. As a result, the offended club has called out the lawyers.

Atlanta's Opera nightclub is suing the Miami Heat player and the Gold Room over an appearance James is scheduled to make later this month.

In a complaint filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court, Opera accuses James of reneging on a promise to appear for one hour on March 17, for which he was to be paid $25,000. James, who last summer infamously jilted his longtime team the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the Heat, will be in town the night before Miami  is scheduled to play the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena.

The conflict arose when James' agent said competing club, the Gold Room, was also pursuing  him for a special appearance. The suit claims James' agent had already taken a $12,000 deposit and a second for $3,000 when he notified Opera on March 4 that James would not appear and would go to the Gold Room appearance instead.

Opera, located on Crescent Avenue, is accusing James of breach of contract.
