It’s hard not to get goosebumps while watching that.
The video does a solid job of incorporating LBJ’s famous chalk toss in the video, with Lil Jon’s “Turn Down For What” blaring after James throws some chalk into the air. LeBron brought back the chalk toss, which he previously retired in 2011, prior to the opener versus the New York Knicks.
Still, the best LeBron-related video to come from Thursday was Nike’s “Together” commercial.
The Cavaliers drafted LeBron with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft. He spent the first seven years of his NBA career with the Cavs before signing with the Miami Heat in 2010. After four years with the Heat, LeBron decided to return home, signing a two-year deal with the Cavs this summer.
LeBron averaged 27.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game this past season with the Heat.
