LeBron James was asked on Monday night before Miami's game in Milwaukee whether he could relate to Brett Favre's bitter departure from the Green Bay Packers three years ago.

"Brett [had] great years here in Green Bay, and any time a great competitor like that leaves, no one wants to see that, but they've done a great job of regrouping with Aaron Rodgers and I believe that Cleveland will do the same," James said.

LeBron left the Cavaliers after a lengthy stay to sign with the Heat as a free agent this past summer.
