- On Wednesday, LeBron James teared up during a timeout when the Cavaliers showed highlights of him scoring 25 straight points in Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference finals against the Detroit Pistons.
- The Cavaliers broke from tradition by showing highlights from Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, the first time they honored that game instead of the usual clips of the No. 1 draft pick in 2003.
- That Game 5 ended 109-107 in double overtime, with James finishing with 48 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists, as the Cavaliers advanced to the NBA Finals.
- After the tribute, LeBron James wiped his eyes with a towel, appearing more emotional than usual during Wednesday's Los Angeles Lakers at Cleveland Cavaliers game, as returns to Northeast Ohio remain special for him.
- James' long tenure with Cleveland helps explain the reaction as he spent 11 seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers across two stints before joining the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent in 2018.
