WATCH: LeBron James swats former teammate’s shot into outer space

The Cleveland Cavaliers raised their championship banner on Tuesday night against the Knicks, and they defended their title in a big way, with a 117-88 win.

In the third quarter of the game, Channing Frye thought he had an easy bucket, but LeBron James made sure to let him know that that wasn’t the case.

Frye went up for the layup, and James came from behind to swat the ball into the stands with authority. I felt bad for the ball, to be honest.

The block was so savage that James apologized for the big block on his former teammate.

My bad @Channing_Frye!! You're my guy. https://t.co/L6trLoAZYR

All in all, it was a pretty great night for Cleveland sports teams (the Browns didn’t play).
