When it comes to the National Basketball Association, there are legendary franchises that have won numerous titles and newcomers who are still attempting to make a name for themselves in the league. One of the teams trying to gain its footing in the NBA is the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Established in 1970, the Cavs have had a hard time making headway among established teams in the Eastern Conference, such as the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls. However, Cleveland fans had something to cheer about in the mid 2000s with the arrival of several notable draft picks, including LeBron James. He came to the team in 2003 when he was drafted to become the next face of the young Cleveland franchise.
With James at the helm, the Cavs made themselves a household name with numerous playoff appearances - one of which was in the 2009-10 Eastern Conference Semifinals. Although the Cavaliers fell to the Boston Celtics, they were able to establish the team as a main competitor in their division and conference.
By the end of 2010, head coach Mike Brown and LeBron James both moved on from the organization. However, this is still an exciting time for Cleveland fans new coach Byron Scott works his magic to bring the team back to the playoffs. The Cavs have a number of superstars primed and ready. Baron Davis, Antawn Jamison and Anthony Parker are just to name a few.
The Cavaliers play their home games at the Quicken Loans Arena, which is located in the heart of Cleveland. Known by its shorter nickname, "The Q," the stadium can comfortably hold 20,000 cheering fans.
Cleveland has a number of young stars that are expected to fare well under the guidance of veteran coach, Byron Scott. Experienced players, such as Davis, will also benefit the growing team. Cavalier fans will have more than enough to watch when they visit "The Q" to see their team bring all they've got to the hardwood with young talent and determination.
