There remains a degree of relevance to the LeBron James-returns-to-face-his-former-teams tour that is headed to Cleveland on Wednesday night.
James will be with the Lakers this time when he plays the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time since leaving Cleveland for a second time last July.
He began this journey of facing his former teams Sunday, when the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat at Miami. He spent four seasons with the Heat, taking them to four consecutive NBA Finals and winning two championships before returning to Cleveland in 2014.
He delivered the championship-starved city an NBA championship in 2016 and played 11 seasons in Cleveland.
