It looks like LeBron James has every player wanting to play with him, even players in retirement. Zydrunas Ilgauskas aka Big Z is reportedly attempting an NBA comeback.
Big Z had played his entire career with the Cleveland Cavaliers but in 2010 he followed LeBron James to the Miami Heat. Now that James has returned home to Cleveland, it appears Z wants to come back too. There’s just a couple issues, Ilgaukas is 39-years old and has been retired for three-years.

It’s not impossible for Ilgauskas to come back. It’d be a really nice story, and I’m sure he and LeBron would enjoy reconnecting. The Cavaliers could use a little more center depth, too.
But there are so many complications, including the small matter of pulling Ilgauskas’ retired jersey from the rafters or giving him a new number. But the bigger issue – a player of Ilgauskas’ age proving himself NBA-ready – stands above the rest.
