LeBron James made a public appearance on Saturday for the first time since the Cavaliers were eliminated from the postseason.

James was a guest judge at an amateur dunk contest that drew a large crowd in Cleveland.

He had little interaction with fans after arriving in a four-car motorcade and being escorted by police to a basketball court set up on the banks of the Cuyahoga River.

Fans seemed unsure of how to act around James, fearing they might drive him away with one comment.
