It’s not often that LeBron James’s starpower is eclipsed.

But it was for a few minutes Friday night at Philips Arena, at least off the court.

Braves Hall of Famer Chipper Jones attended the game and he spent some time with Hawks Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins. Two Atlanta legends standing together.

James was the star on the court as usual however. He had a triple double with 22 points, 17 assists and 12 rebounds as the Cleveland Cavs beat the Hawks 123-107.
