Cavaliers notebook: LeBron James makes final trip to arena where he started his career

SACRAMENTO: LeBron James can still recall the first NBA shot he ever made, a fadeaway baseline jumper. He remembers the left-handed finger roll and the power dunk, along with his assist to Ricky Davis in transition.

He almost perfectly recalled his stat line from that night, too.

James played his final game at Sleep Train Arena Wednesday night more than 12 years after making his professional debut here. It was named Arco Arena at the time and it will close at the end of the season, when the Kings will move into a new $500 million downtown facility.
