Cleveland Cavaliers

Since 1970, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been the state of Ohio's shining star and premier NBA franchise. Long a competitor in the Eastern Conference's Central Division, the Cavs grabbed their first division title in 1976 along with two other division titles. Just over 10 years later, Cleveland surged to win its first conference championship. Today, this plundering team from the banks of Lake Erie is poised for a promising NBA future.
