LeBron James recently attended former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Kevin Love’s wedding. It led to a full-fledged 2014-2017 Cavaliers team reunion. There was James, J.R. Smith, Jordan Clarkson, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, and James Jones. They posed for a picture together. James’ current teammate Russell Westbrook, his wife Nina Westbrook, and agent Rich Paul were also in attendance along with his girlfriend, singer Adele.
The highlight of the ceremony was the reunion of the iconic Cavaliers team which won the title in 2016. The team took a photograph with the bride and groom that went viral online. Notably, Kyrie Irving was one key player who was conspicuously absent from the ceremony.
On Saturday, LeBron James sent out a tweet to J.R. Smith that went viral on Twitter.
James quote tweeted a tweet from Smith and wrote: “That’s so dope Swish!! So damn happy and proud of you more and more each day!!”

The two played together on two different teams in the NBA (the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers).
Smith has not played in the league since 2020 when he was on the Lakers and they won the NBA Championship in the bubble.
He is a two-time NBA Champion (he also won in 2016 on the Cavs with James), and was also the 2013 6th Man of The Year.

Smith has career averages of 12.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.1 assits in 977 career regular season games.
He’s also played in an impressive 140 career playoff games.
As for James, he is currently on the Lakers, and they are coming off a very disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs (and the play-in tournament) as the 11th seed in the Western Conference.
