Stat line: 38 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 0 turnovers

James opted to leave Cleveland in favor of joining Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami during this off-season's free agency period, drawing immense criticism from fans in Cleveland, Ohio.

LeBron James and the Miami Heat took their talents to Cleveland to take on the Cavaliers in LeBron's first return to his former team, making this arguably the most anticipated game of this season.

The animosity in the Quicken Loans Arena was palpable but not nearly as powerful as James’ pure athleticism and skill. It was clearly much more than just a regular season basketball game for both LeBron and the fans in attendance.

While fans derided him with boos and many hate-filled slogans, James calmly made 15 of 25 field goals and had 8 assists, all in three quarters, with no turnovers. James rested comfortably on the bench for the fourth period, while his current team finished a 118-90 rout of his former team.
