LeBron James slammed for 'embarrassing' performance on return to Cleveland... as fans boo every touch

NBA fans have ruthlessly ripped into LeBron James and urged him to retire after a disastrous outing against his former side, the Cleveland Cavaliers , on Friday night. James, 41, was making his first trip to Cleveland since joining the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this summer for an NBA Cup group stage clash at the Rocket Arena. The 76ers were dealt only their second loss of the 2026 season at the hands of the Cavaliers, who cruised to a 119-95 victory on the night.
