Follow Us
Superstar LeBron James always has a home in the Cleveland Cavaliers. This was his hometown team. He got drafted into that team in 2003 and stayed there for seven years. LeBron then left them for the Miami Heat and got two titles. The Cleveland fans were angry, but not for too long as he came back in 2014.
He then led them to their first-ever NBA title in 2016. James took the franchise to heights never seen before. They appeared in the NBA Finals regularly from 2014 to 18. If not for the Golden State Warriors, LeBron could have won more with Cleveland. He left the team again in 2018 for the Los Angeles Lakers. After four years, he might just come back again.
