On Wednesday night, LeBron James will return to Cleveland with the Lakers set to play the Cavaliers. It’s a celebrated occasion each season for Cavs fans as James remains the most beloved sports figure in the city’s history. After tip-off he’ll be treated the same as any other opponent but there will be plentiful appreciation for The King by those in the stands in the lead-up to the game.
