James made a statement four years ago saying he intended to end his career with the Cavaliers, according to ESPN. Regardless of whether or not he actually does that, James has undoubtedly left his mark on the team and the city.

James made an Insta story, thanking the Cavs for the time he spent with them. The message read, “Thank you Northeast Ohio for an incredible 4 seasons. This will always be home.”
