For over two decades, we have all witnessed greatness on a nightly basis, thanks to LeBron James. On Saturday night, the league's all-time leading scorer returned to where his professional career began in a highly anticipated matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Any animosity between James and Cavaliers fans has long been buried, as it was a warm homecoming for "the kid from Akron." James led the Lakers to victory with 22 points and used the opportunity to debut an unreleased colorway of his latest signature sneaker.

Earlier this fall, Nike launched James' 21st signature sneaker in a colorway inspired by his daughter, Zhuri. Athletes and fans have been treated to multiple drops in fresh new colorways, but James outdid himself with his sneakers on Saturday night.

There is much to marvel at when discussing James' career, such as his productivity and longevity. But we would be remiss if we did not mention his impact on the sneaker world. It has been 21 years since James entered the NBA, and he continues to exceed expectations. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news.
