Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James arrived in Miami for the first time since leaving the Miami Heat this past offseason.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were able to convince LeBron James to return to where he came from this past offseason, but he burnt some bridges on the way out of Miami. He had led the Heat to two championships, and had become loved and many expected him to return to the Heat in free agency. Obviously, that didn’t end up happening.

James is back in Miami to face the Heat for the first time on Christmas Day since leaving them this past offseason. He had a very rough welcome the first time he appeared in Cleveland to face the Cavaliers after he left them for Miami.
Needless to say, it is going to be a very electric atmosphere in Miami and this game is more than just a Christmas Day afternoon game. Both teams are going to leave a bit more on the court to prove themselves, and the fans are going to be even more into the game than usual.
Take a look at James arriving in Miami as he prepares to face his former city and teammates. Make sure to tune in at 5:00 PM Eastern to catch the game.
