Cavaliers welcome back LeBron, Bronny James with locker room display

LeBron and Bronny James’ homecoming to Cleveland included a nice gesture from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

When the Los Angeles Lakers entered the visiting locker room at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Wednesday, they were greeted with a rotating image display of LeBron, Bronny, D’Angelo Russell and Lakers assistant Scott Brooks.

The Cavaliers make this gesture whenever a former player or coach of an opposing team returns to the state. However, there is added incentive for LeBron, a native of Akron, Ohio, who spent 11 seasons with the team and led the Cavaliers to a title in 2016 – the first in franchise history.

The photo of LeBron showed him holding the Larry O’Brien Trophy in his arms, along with the Finals MVP trophy. Bronny poses in a group photo of the Cavaliers after their childhood championship.

Russell’s inclusion dates back to his tenure with the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2014-2015. Brooks is seen in uniform for Cleveland, where he played his final NBA season in 1998, appearing in 43 games.

LeBron has often found success against his former team. He has a 9-2 record, averaging 31.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists on 54% shooting.

The Lakers enter the game with a 3-1 record, while the Cavaliers are 4-0.
