Miami Heat star LeBron James will host his teammates for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday night, as the team are still in his hometown.

The defending champions defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, and James decided to invite the team back to his home in Akron.

"We don't mind playing on those holidays. Wish we could have been here in Miami, but I am happy that I'm able to do something for the team for Thanksgiving," James said, according to The AP.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has also arranged for his team to have a Thanksgiving dinner during their road trip, which takes them to Detroit.
