The best player in Cleveland Cavaliers history, LeBron James, is slated to make his long-awaited return to Quicken Loans Arena Wednesday, this time as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. James recently spoke to Joe Vardon of The Athletic (to view it, you must have a subscription from The Athletic), and said “he’s not expecting a reaction from Cavs fans anything like what he was met by in 2010,” and for good reason.
That was a totally different time.
The circumstances surrounding this return are different, and fans reactions should be as well.
