Cleveland Cavaliers History

The Cavaliers joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1970 and made it to the playoffs for the first time in the 1975–76 season. The history of the team changed when they selected LeBron James — who grew up in the nearby city of Akron, Ohio — straight out of high school with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft.

James won Rookie of the Year and led the Cavs to the playoffs in his third season. They made it to the NBA Finals the following year, but were swept by the San Antonio Spurs. After Cleveland lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2009–10 playoffs, James announced his intention to take his talents to the Miami HEAT. He played in Miami for four seasons before returning to the Cavs for the 2014–15 campaign.

In 2016, led by James, the Cavaliers won their first NBA championship, overcoming a 3-1 deficit, and marking Cleveland's first major sports title since 1964.

    poor seating placement

    by A. S. on 1/30/23

    The seats in the upper bowl are far too narrow. My wife could not sit in them comfortably and left the arena at halftime due to the amount of discomfort she was in. When we had a seat between us it was fine but we sat initially in the wrong seats and had to move to the correct seats where we were unable to have a seat between us. The arena needs to be designed for all fans to enjoy. My wife and I are not small people and it will not be possible for us to attend another game unless we pay a massive amount of money that we don’t have for lower floor seats that are wider. Also please bring an option that allows you to select a specific seat to this venue.

    Great seats, POOR positioning of the seats

    by urbansoccerm0m on 10/24/16Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    I purchased these tickets for myself, my son, and my mother. Upon coming into the venu we didn't realize how awesome the seats were until we were being seated. It was then we realized that 2 of the seats were directly seated behind the post of the basketball hoop. Watching the game was hard because my mother and I decided to give my son the one good seat, so we had to keep moving from left to right. I'm not sure why the decision was made to put seating there, but it was a horrible view for some amazing seats!

    NBA Champs Pre Season at the Schott

    by CBA07 on 10/21/16Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    This is a not-to-be-missed event! Every year the CAVS come to CMH to spread some basketball luv. This year they are spreading the NBA Championship LUV! The kidfest and the weather were enjoyed by all! The sign making inside the Schott was great! and of course the icing on the cake was the interaction with some of the NBA stars with the young kids! Lebron even signed a little girls pink arm cast on the sidelines! I can't afford the court-side seats at a regular NBA season game but I more than make up for it here at the Schott court-side!!

    Game was hard to see

    by Ballgam on 10/21/16Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    I ordered a set of four tickets the first minute they went on sale just as how I have done the previous two years. Unfortunately my seats were in the nosebleed seats after purchasing tickets not even one minute after they went on sell to the public… What's up with that… Nosebleed seats

    Cavs go all out for fans!

    by BillShortNorth on 10/21/16Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    Cavs' pre-season game at the Schott. Got to our seats and found free t-shirt on our seat-back. Everyone got one!! Warm-ups were great. Each player doing spectacular dunks. Game was lots of fun to watch. I used to work for the Cavs in 1971 when they played at Cleveland Arena and drafted Austin Carr from Notre Dame as their 1st round pick, which was the overall number 1 pick. It was wonderful to see how the NBA has progressed. Am very happy to see Chris Andersen now playing for the Cavs. Love his Mohawk!!
