LeBron James, the legendary basketball player, attended Game 4 of the ongoing NBA playoffs between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on May 13, 2024. The four-time league MVP and champion was welcomed with thunderous cheers from fans as he entered the arena. During a timeout in the first quarter, James received a standing ovation and mimicked placing a crown on his head.
James played two stints in Cleveland, leading the Cavs to their only NBA championship in 2016 before leaving two years later. He has maintained a home near his hometown of Akron and has been speculated to make another reunion with the team. However, James made it clear following the Lakers' elimination from the playoffs that he is keeping all his options open.
His oldest son, Bronny, who recently declared for this year's draft after playing at USC last season, was cleared by league doctors to participate in the pre-draft combine in Chicago following a cardiac arrest last summer. James has been adamant about playing alongside his son and has talked about it in the past.
Khloe Kardashian, reality TV star and mother of Tristan Thompson, who plays for the Cavaliers, was also present at the game. Myles Garrett, a Browns player, was spotted in attendance to rally the troops.
The Cavs lost Game 4 to the Celtics with a score of 109-102 and now trail in the series 3-1.
