James’ 11 years in Cleveland came at two different stints. After starting the career with them in 2003, the Akron native moved to Miami Heat in 2010. He came back to the Cavaliers in 2014 for another four-year stint during which he led to an NBA Championship. Appearing as a guest on the Road Trippin’ Podcast, James fondly remembered his Championship run and his time with the team.
