LeBron James made a surprise visit to Cleveland in a move that is eerily similar to what happened a decade ago, when he ended up sighing for the Cavaliers.
According to NBA Insider Brian Windhorst the Lakers star could be repeating his exploit from 2014, when he made the move from the Heat back to Cleveland.
“I will say this, the first thing I thought of was this moment 10 years ago where LeBron showed up to a game in Cleveland while he was a player for the Miami Heat to honor Zydrunas Ilgauskas’ Jersey retirement, his longtime teammate.
“And he got in a private plane, flew from Chicago over to Cleveland on an off night. Pat Riley was not happy. And a few months later he signed with the Cavs…he’s extremely strategic and I wish I could tell you I knew exactly what he is doing. I don’t pretend to know, but he’s gotta be up to something.”
James helped both the Heat and then the Cavaliers, in his second spell there to the NBA championship title.
The 39-year-old has made 20 NBA All-Star appearances in a decorated career spanning numerous awards and achievements.
Will he join Cleveland for a third and final stint? Time will tell.
