James made an assured debut
|
LeBron James marked his professional basketball debut with 14
points, seven rebounds and six assists for Cleveland.
James, who was the number one overall pick in last month's NBA Draft straight from high school, helped the Cavaliers to a 107-80
win over Orlando in the Orlando Summer League.
The game was open to the public - the Summer League is normally exclusively only for NBA personnel and the media - drawing a crowd of 15,123 fans.
Afterwards James said: "You can't get any higher, this is a dream come true - if I could get 14, seven and six each night that would be real good."
Darius Miles and Carlos Boozer each netted 15 points to lead
Cleveland, while the Magic's first-round pick, guard Reece Gaines, scored 16 points and also had five assists.
James and the Cavs will participate in the Boston Summer League, starting next week.
