There is certainly a lot of excitement and anticipation surrounding the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, and all of that will reach its peak tonight with the Cavs' season opener against the New York Knicks.

The return of LeBron James is one of the biggest reasons behind this fever pitch, and he thinks tonight game will have a huge impact on not just the basketball world, but the sports world.

It certainly will be landmark moment in Cleveland sports history, but LeBron may have taken that a bit too far.

The Cavs and Knicks tip off tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. CT on TNT.
