Wilcox: We all remember LeBron coming back in early December. Everyone in the building knows how hard it was and how emotional it was. Jamison: Oh my God. There was so much hype into that game. You had a lot of young guys (saying), “King coming back, we’re going to show him.” We were just as hyped for the game as LeBron was. Hollins: If you could imagine talking to a scorned wife or husband after a divorce, that’s what it was.
Leading up to the game, I was told by so many people to give him an extra elbow and hit him on the way down. It was so personal for everybody.
