LeBron James, primary author of the only championship in Cavaliers’ history, was greeted by thunderous applause and a standing ovation during a timeout in the first quarter of Cleveland’s playoff game against the Boston Celtics on Monday night. James, 39, attended the game with his wife, Savannah, and longtime agent and business partner Rich Paul, who still represents multiple players on the Cavs’ roster.

Spencer Dinwiddie had the choice of signing with a team he's familiar with in the Dallas Mavericks or the Los Angeles Lakers, and the point guard opted for the latter. For Dinwiddie, signing with the Lakers made him step out of his comfort zone and take on a new challenge. "Let's say you're a kid and you get your ass whupped by the bully," Dinwiddie said. "Dallas would have been like your mama, like, 'It's OK, baby.' … Lakers are like your dad: 'Nah, you better go out there and fight 'til you win.' You feel me? I just felt like that was what I needed at the time."

LeBron James said he'd miss playing in a game for the Los Angeles Lakers if it coincided with his son Bronny James' debut for USC. The 19-year-old was medically cleared by doctors for a full return to playing basketball after suffering a cardiac arrest in late July. Bronny will have an evaluation with USC staff this week and return to practice next week before participating in games for the Trojans.

An oddly officiated dispute between Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James and Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka led to a technical foul for James and an ejection for Udoka on Saturday night. James and Udoka got into an exchange during the fourth quarter as the Lakers led 93-77 with 8:35 remaining. Lakers swingman Cam Reddish fouled Rockets forward Tari Eason, and walked into him seconds after the play was dead, and the two were separated after some mild jawing of the court. In the aftermath of the play, Udoka was seen talking in James’ direction, and as the all-time great attempted to approach the Houston head coach, controversial Rockets wing Dillon Brooks intervened.

LeBron James added another record to his ever-growing NBA resume on Monday, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most minutes played, postseason included, in the sport's history. James officially passed Abdul-Jabbar in the first half of the Lakers' 138-94 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Including his 29 minutes on Monday, James has now played 66,318 career minutes to Kareem's 66,297. Again, that number includes the playoffs. The official record, as is the case with the all-time scoring record (which LeBron also owns after passing Kareem last season), only counts regular-season minutes. On that list, James currently sits in third place with 54,664 minutes played including Monday night, trailing Karl Malone (54,852) and Abdul-Jabbar (57,446).

James will always be the king of Northeast Ohio and nobody will be forgetting it anytime soon. Ahead of James and the Los Angeles Lakers' win against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night, James' charitable foundation opened LeBron James' Home Court. It's a museum filled with James' memorabilia from his 21-year NBA career, his time as a high school sensation at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School and the last apartment he and his mother lived in before he turned pro.

Kyrie Irving scored 28 points and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 22 seconds to play, and the Dallas Mavericks blew a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter before rallying back for a 104-101 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. LeBron James scored 16 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and made the tiebreaking tip-in with 1:16 to play for the Lakers, but the NBA career scoring leader also made a turnover with four seconds left and then missed
