The Cavaliers welcome LeBron and Bronny James with a locker room presentation

The Cavaliers welcome LeBron and Bronny James with a locker room presentation

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

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

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

LeBron's photo showed him holding the Larry O'Brien Trophy along with the Finals MVP trophy. During his childhood, Bronny can be seen in a group photo of the Cavaliers after their championship.

Russell's inclusion dates back to his tenure with the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2014-15. Brooks can be seen in the uniform of Cleveland, where he played his final NBA season in 1998 and appeared in 43 games.

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

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