51 year Championship Drought!

I’ve been watching the Cleveland Cavaliers play and win their Western Conference. They are now resting up until they meet the Golden State Warriors on June 4^th to play for the NBA Championship.

I have always been a fan of the Cavs. I will also be honest…I was disappointed in LeBron James when he announced on national television that he was taking his game to South Beach. And I rooted for every team that played against the Miami Heat.

When LeBron came back to the Cavs, I thought, okay, whatever. The owner of the Cavs, finally got it right, went out, and got a good supporting cast to play with LeBron. The team already had Kyrie Irving.

With the sweep of the Hawks, the Cavs will have a much needed break to rest and heal. I realized that the Cavs are four games from winning their first NBA Championship. In a city with three major teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cleveland Indians, and the Cleveland Browns…Cleveland has gone 51 years without winning a championship game of any kind. The last team to win a championship was the 1964 Cleveland Browns football team. The three teams have reached 143 seasons without a championship. That is a very long time, and I for one, am thirsty for a championship in Cleveland.

I definitely liked one of the signs that was on television during the Cavs game – ‘Team Work makes the Dream Work.’  I am a believer now!
