NBA Twitter convinced LeBron James is heading back to Cleveland

James spent the majority of his NBA career with the Cavaliers, as he was selected with the first-overall pick in the NBA Draft. He spent his first seven seasons with the team before infamously going on live television to reveal that he was signing a free agent contract with the Miami Heat. After four seasons and two NBA Championship wins, James made his return to Cleveland in the summer of 2014.

The Cavaliers made it to the NBA Finals every single season of James’ second stint. But in 2016, James helped lead the Cavaliers to their first ever NBA Championship by defeating the powerhouse Golden State Warriors in seven games.

Besides not ruling out a return to Cleveland, James revealed that for his final NBA season, he wants to team up with his oldest son, Bronny.

With the great reception he received at the All-Star Game, some believe that a James return to the Cavaliers is a possibility.
