For the second time in his career, LeBron James has led a revival of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise. The first go-around, he was just a teenager coming out of Akron, Ohio and turned the Cavaliers into one of the top teams in the league. After his stunning departure to Miami before the start of the 2010-11 season, where he led the Heat to two NBA Titles and two other finals’ appearances in his only four seasons in Miami, James returned “home” to Cleveland before the beginning of the 2014-15 season. James and his Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Golden State Warriors in the 2015 NBA Finals, but returned to the Finals against the Warriors in 2016. This time, the Cavs got the job done by knocking off the defending champions and their NBA regular season record 73 wins, in a classic seven-game series. This was the first major sports title for the city of Cleveland since the 1964 Cleveland Browns won the NFL Title.
Offered is this all-black Adidas Climacool Cleveland Cavaliers jersey worn by LeBron James during the 2015-16 season. James wore this specific jersey during the 105-100 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on December 8, 2015 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. James had a team-high 33 points and a game-high 10 rebounds in 40 minutes during the win. This jersey has the Cavaliers “C” sewn on in big lettering on the front in maroon tackle twill with yellow border stitching. Irving’s number “23” is sewn on in maroon and yellow tackle twill on the upper right chest, while the Adidas 2XL tag with the (LENGTH +2”) flag and NBA tag with the code “CCA04830” sewn on the bottom front left tail. Also on the bottom front tail is a maroon tag that has “All for one. One for all.” in yellow. The v-neck collar has a ribbed yellow and maroon striping pattern and the NBA logo is embroidered on the upper back neck. The back of the jersey has “JAMES” sewn on in yellow tackle twill above his number “23”, which has been sewn on in maroon mesh on yellow tackle twill. The jersey shows moderate game use and is the same style jersey worn when the Cavaliers closed out the 2016 NBA Finals at Golden State. This jersey comes with a LOA from The MeiGray Group (CCA 04830).
