This is video of the starting line-up of the Cleveland Cavaliers, including LeBron James, being introduced, prior to their season opener against the New York Knicks at Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday night.

James, a native of Akron, Ohio, played the first seven years of his career with the Cavaliers, before leaving to go play with the Miami for a four-year stretch.

During the offseason, the 29-year old James decided to return home, signing with the Cavaliers as a free agent.

The Knicks put a slight damper on the festivities of the evening, defeating the Cavaliers, 95-90, as James finished the game only 5-of-15 from the field, while also committing 8 turnovers.

There's probably no reason to worry about the Cavaliers, or LeBron though, as they're likely to win a lot of games, and he's likely to be in the running for MVP honors.

Thursday night was more about James returning home, and the Cavs fans savoring every moment of it.

Like LeBron, or not...like the Cavaliers, or not...Thursday night was a pretty big deal.
