“I’m coming home.”
That’s what LeBron James said, via Sports Illustrated’s Lee Jenkins, to announce he was signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the summer of 2014. From there, it was on the Cavs’ front office to build a contending team around one of the greatest athletes to ever live.
The results speak for themselves: four-straight Eastern Conference crowns and a championship in 2016, the first ever for the franchise and one of the only titles in Ohio professional sports history. Players such as Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and J.R. Smith started alongside LeBron and helped bring four years of success to The Land.
