LeBron James returned to his land, an arena where he achieved it all, Cleveland Cavaliers for another road game. Being the first occurrence in the 2022-23 season, it was bound to be special.

On the same note, Cleveland paid a tribute to LeBron, honoring his time with the team and the fans were on their feet cheering for the 4 x NBA Champion. The Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse arena was noisy with thunderous applause from the Cavaliers fans, as the King was left emotional with utmost love.
LeBron James has spent 11 of his 20 years in the NBA in Cleveland. After spending the first 7 years in Cleveland, taking the city to the Finals in 2007, in process of which he won 2 regular season MVPs, James left Cleveland for the unstoppable Miami Heat. After winning his first-2 Championships with the Miami Heat, James returned to his city, to give them a chance for a championship.
When the Ohio-born came back from Miami, he had become a lion from a cub. He knew just how, when and where to hunt. LeBron became a different breed once he came back to his city and joined Kyrie to give his city another chance. Finally, the long and tedious wait for the city of Cleveland was over and what would become perhaps the greatest 3 games of the NBA Finals and LeBron James’ career, the Cavaliers won their first and only championship riding on LeBron’s shoulders.
