Former Cleveland Cavaliers player, Lebron James was at the home of Cleveland Cavaliers, Quicken Loans Arena to watch the jersey retirement of former team mate, Zydrunas Ilgauskas which his former team lost to New York Knicks on Saturday Night.

Cavaliers lost 107-97 to the Anthony Carmelo-led Kincks, who had a game-high 26 points, Amare Stoudemire added 17 points and 12 rebounds.

At half time, Ilgauskas' number 11 jersey was sent up into the rafters during the ceremony at the Quicken Loans Arena which marked the Knicks third consecutive win.

Ilgauskas played for 12 years with the Cleveland Cavaliers with Lebron James and one season at the reigning champions, Maimi Heats, holding an NBA All-Star on two occasions, and is Cavaliers' career leader in rebounds (5 904), games played (771) and blocks (1 269).

“Probably one of the most talented guys I ever played with,” James said.
