The moment everyone in the NBA was waiting for…

There’s been incredible promos with Beats featuring Hozier and a stunning Nike ad but LeBron James finally pulled on the Cleveland Cavaliers jersey again last night as they took on the New York Knicks in the NBA.

It wasn’t the fairytale return LeBron hoped for as the Knicks inspired by 25-point Carmelo Anthony won the game by 95-90.

The atmosphere at the Quicken Loans Arena at the start of the match was incredible and here’s the moment LeBron performed his pre-game ritual of throwing chalk dust in the air. It went down well as you can imagine.

Have a look at this slow motion footage of LeBron’s first basket back with Cleveland below.
