They're Baaack

Last night, the Cleveland Cavaliers scrimmage was attended by 16,000 fans. 16,000 people to attend a scrimmage. That's the hype that's surrounding the NBA's new "Big Three," consisting of Kyrie Irving, newly acquired Kevin Love, and, of course, LeBron James. It's been a long time since Clevelanders had something to look forward to, and 16,000 people showing up to a scrimmage proves that the hype of the Cavs is real.

In just one year, the Cavs went from a mediocre pile of garbage- laughable almost, to championship contenders. After northern Ohio's golden boy LeBron James announced he would be returning home to Cleveland, All Star forward Kevin Love announced that he would be leaving Minnesota to join LeBron and Irving to form the newest "Big Three." Certainly a happy time for Cavs fans and Clevelanders in general where the mentality there is championship or bust. Wouldn't it be great if LeBron and company could finally bring a championship back to Cleveland after 66 long years? The thought is unfathomable and is enough to give me the goose bumps. For the first time since LeBron's infamous departure, I'm definitely excited to watch the Cavs play this year.
