"An emotional LeBron James admitted it "very well could be" his final appearance in Cleveland after being moved to tears during last night's 129-99 defeat for the Los Angeles Lakers. James, who won the NBA title in his second spell with the Cavaliers in 2016, has yet to decide whether he will retire at the end of the season, bringing an end to one of the greatest careers in the game's history."
"Cleveland honoured him last night, using a first-quarter time-out to show a video on the big screens that replayed James' incredible performance in Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference finals when the then 22-year-old poured in 48 points - including 25 straight to end the game - as the Cavs beat the Detroit Pistons in double overtime. James, born and raised in Ohio, sat in a courtside chair while watching the tribute and had to use his Lakers uniform to wipe away tears."

The occasion affected his play, as he scored 11 points with six turnovers, while Lakers coach JJ Redick noted the human, emotional element. Bronny James received playing time and James' mother watched both son and grandson that night.
