LeBron James will bring back the chalk toss
Throw your hands in the way and inhale chalk like you just don't care, James is bringing back his old tradition of throwing the chalk in the air.
LeBron James announced on Thursday afternoon that the chalk toss is indeed coming back.
You guys are incredible!!! Thank you pic.twitter.com/Meo3tE9Yu9

James had told fans to vote on whether he should bring back the old tradition of throwing the rosin powder into the air prior the game, which he got from Kevin Garnett, who got it from Michael Jordan. But as I wrote at the time, it's an iconic move for James, and the return of it signals a merging of the fun-loving guy he was when he left with the more mature champion he is in his return.
James will first perform the ritual in the Cavs' home opener vs. the Knicks Thursday night. For more on James' return, check out our interactive guide.
The chalk toss is back. Will the championship that never followed it fall to Cleveland this time?
