LeBron James was back in Cleveland last night.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers were in Cleveland last night where the team took on the Cavaliers. The Cavs are a team on the come-up right now, especially thanks to the efforts of Donovan Mitchell. With Mitchell on the roster, many think this team could win the East.

However, James and the Lakers were trying to spoil the party last night. Of course, James has a lot of history with the Cavaliers as he had two separate stints with the team. Whenever he shows up in Cleveland, it is a huge moment, and last night was no different.

LeBron Shouts Out Cleveland

In the end, however, the Lakers could not keep up with the Cavs. They lost the game and Mitchell ended up with a whopping 43 points. It was a phenomenal performance that ultimately overshadowed LeBron's return. Overall, it was not a great night for the Lakers.

Despite this, LeBron was still someone that the media wanted to hear from after the game. He dropped 21 points and 17 rebounds, so it's not like he played poorly. As you can see below, he showed a lot of love to Cleveland and even touched on the memories the city gives him.

"It's always love coming back here. The memories that I have here will never be forgotten," James said.
