Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers (also known as the Cavs) are an American professional basketball team based in Cleveland, Ohio. They began playing in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 1970 as an expansion team. They play their home games at Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavaliers have featured many NBA stars during its history, including draft picks turned All-Stars Austin Carr, Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, LeBron James, and Kyrie Irving. Past NBA greats such as Nate Thurmond, Walt "Clyde" Frazier, and Shaquille O'Neal also played in Cleveland. The team has had moderate success in it's history, winning three Central Division Championships (1976, 2009, 2010) an Eastern Conference Championship in 2007, and numerous playoff runs. But it has also had some dubious distinctions as well, such as former owner Ted Stepien's tenure leading to the NBA creating a rule about trading draft picks ("The Stepien Rule"), and a 26 game losing streak in 2010-11, which tied the record for the longest losing streak in major American professional sports history.
