LeBron James and former Cavaliers teammates reunite in the UK for golf trip

LeBron James and four former Cleveland teammates reunited in the UK a decade after their championship run.

Trio reunites near London A decade after their championship run, LeBron James, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Richard Jefferson, Tristan Thompson and Channing Frye shared photos together after meeting in the United Kingdom. James, Smith, Thompson and Frye posted a joint Instagram message Wednesday stating, "The group chat finally linked up." Jefferson, Love, Thompson and Frye also shared a video of Thompson handing out drinks on the golf course with the caption, "We all have roles." ## Tour includes iconic locations The group gathered near Tower Bridge in London and played golf at Loch Lomond Golf Club in Scotland, known as one of the world's top private golf clubs. Their five-day itinerary reportedly featured rounds of golf, visits to watch stores, and multiple dinners. Smith commented on the trip’s intensity, saying, "These boys want to play 36 [holes] a day. They locked in. I'm like OK, now we talking, now we talking." ## Kyrie Irving misses reunion Kyrie Irving, who made the go-ahead three-pointer for Cleveland in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, was not present. Smith addressed Irving’s absence, replying to a post about the gathering with, "Missing none. He was invited and ghosted us all. So stop with that bs." Irving was traded to Boston after requesting a move following the 2016-17 season. ## Historic comeback celebrated Cleveland completed a historic comeback from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the 73-win Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. Friday marks the 10-year anniversary of the Cavaliers’ Game 7 victory, the first comeback of its kind in NBA Finals history and Cleveland’s first championship. The team reached the Finals again the next two seasons but lost both times to Golden State. ## Podcast series honors anniversary Jefferson launched a 10-year anniversary podcast series called "The Richard Show," with Love, Thompson and Iman Shumpert joining to share memories. Smith’s episode is scheduled for release Thursday, and he hinted at another golf trip in May, mentioning Scotland and Northern Ireland as possible destinations. Smith, who played golf at North Carolina A&T, joked, "I don't know how many holes they gone finish but we gone see."
