CLEVELAND — In the venue he made famous, LeBron James sat courtside like a fan.
On Monday night, LeBron James was present at Cleveland’s playoff game against the Boston Celtics, which is sure to spark discussion regarding the superstar’s future.
James spent two spells in Cleveland before choosing to become a free agency this summer and opt out of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Before departing the Cavaliers two years later, he guided them to their lone NBA championship in 2016.
James was featured on the enormous scoreboard during a break in the first quarter, and he earned a standing ovation. He nodded to the boisterous assembly, and King James modeled putting a crown on his head.

He left in the closing minutes as the Celtics wrapped up a 109-102 win to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
James’ postseason this year was cut short when the Lakers were eliminated in the first round by the Denver Nuggets, the reigning champions.
