LeBron James found himself overcome with emotion during a tribute video played in his honour as the Los Angeles Lakers suffered a heavy 129-99 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday evening. The 41-year-old basketball icon was visiting his home state and the franchise where he secured the 2016 NBA championship, potentially for the final time in his illustrious career. Speculation surrounding the four-time NBA champion's retirement has intensified, with James himself acknowledging this "very well could be" his last season in professional basketball. His record in Cleveland as a visiting player stood at nine victories and three defeats prior to Wednesday's contest. Throughout his career as a visiting player in Cleveland, representing both the Lakers and Miami Heat, James had accumulated nine wins against three losses before Wednesday's heavy defeat.
