During an interview that aired Monday night, Lebron James reminded ESPN's Rachel Nichols what it was like for him to make his return to Cleveland after leaving for Miami in 2010. His former Cavs fanbase was so angry at him, James said, that batteries were thrown by some while he was out on the floor at Quicken Loans Arena. Case in point, Cavs fans get pissed off when their stars leave. And when the Boston Celtics arrive in the building to reveal the point guard who once ran The Land, in a green and white uniform, some might feel compelled to act out. But it most certainly won't be anyone from Dan Gilbert's organization.

So when the Boston Celtics revealed Kyrie Irving, the point guard who once ran The Land, some might feel compelled to act out. But it most certainly won't be anyone from Dan Gilbert's organization.

It is reported that in spite of the tense atmosphere that will occupy the building during the 2017-18 season opener on Tuesday, Oct. 17, the Eastern Conference Champions will be honoring Kyrie for all that he contributed to Cleveland over the course of his six years with the team. Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports that he has learned from Cavs officials that the organization has put together a video tribute for fans to soak in.

Many wonder how fans will react to the ceremony considering Kyrie's abrupt departure and the betrayal that Lebron loyalists. How much appreciation Kyrie shows for the tribute and how the guys on the court compete after being reminded of the bond they once had, are questions that linger.
