About

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.

    Lots of Family

    by kondahill on 10/15/15Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    The great thing about the cavs coming to columbus is to see the players perform in our backyard rather than trying to make a trip to Cleveland for a game (requiring a hotel, food, gas, etc.). Unfortunately, Shumpert, Kyrie, and Love are injured or rehabbing. New acquisition Mo Williams dressed but didnt play. JR Smith didnt play. Tristan Thomson is still in contract disputes so he couldn't play. So we got a lot of James Jones, Richard Jefferson and D-Leaguers. However we did get to see a Lebron tomahawk dunk, and it was nice to see Andy out there again. There were alot of kids there (which is totally fine) but be prepared for a high pitched, eccentric, Lebron mini fan behind you.

    Cavs Game

    by Twerpie85 on 10/15/15Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    It was nice to see the Cavs in action close to home for a very reasonable price. I didn't mind that it was a preseason game.

    Great time except for traffic!

    by Rudydog on 10/10/15Cintas Center - Cincinnati

    I loved seeing LeBron, my main objective, and I was really glad that he played. I didn't like the traffic I had to sit in waiting to park. I had no idea that this would be such a problem. Once I got close, there were policemen helping out, but there was a lot of backup before getting to the point where the policemen assisted. I advise everyone to go really early if you go next time. Another issue is that I had no idea what the announcers were saying during games, time out activities, etc. I guess that was due to the sound system or lack of speakers in enough places. I wish I could have been able to follow what was being explained. Overall, I really enjoyed seeing my first NBA game.

    by CincyLoyalFan on 10/10/15Cintas Center - Cincinnati

    I go to every preseason game that comes to Cincinnati and I really enjoy myself.This year the game was a great one to see and I love the way Lebron interacts with the fans.There were also other highlights like seeing all the Bengals and Reds come out and represent and not to mention sitting right behind Floyd Mayweather! I wish Cincinnati had a NBA team

    Spectacular

    by Austin15 on 10/10/15Cintas Center - Cincinnati

    Couldn't expect anything else when you put together two class acts like the Cavs and Xavier. You know you're doing something right when people like Floyd Mayweather show up for the event. Incredible time

    It was a fun game! I had awesome seats! Very entertaining. I loved the interaction with the crowd, the cheerleaders, hip hop dance team, Cavaliers fan squad and the players. Loved the fact that they kept the crowd entertained! The venue is perfect for these type of games.

    CavsVsBulls

    by DMommaof4 on 10/29/14Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    We really enjoyed the game and the kids loved being able to make signs and get tattoos. The downside was that sitting up in the 300s pretty much guarantees you will not be apart of any action. The tshirts never come up that far, the cameras don't pan that far, and you have no chance of getting selected to go on the court for any of the fan games they play. The Schott arena should really do a better job of engaging the fans that sit in the 300s, even for Buckeye games. I sat in the same area and the experience was the same. As a parent, I can deal with it but my kids are always a little disappointed that they have NO CHANCE of anything sitting up that far.

    The audience was electric! It was great to see the new Cavs line up, and of course the return of LeBron was greatly anticipated. Knowing he would have chosen OSU as the college to play for, it was fun to watch him on "home court". Even though it was only a pre-season game, it was fantastic to see a Cavs team win.

    should have done a better job getting everyone pictures of the team. Some people had them and some didn't. it would have been a nice keepsake for my son but somehow we didn't see them being handed out.

    Didn't Get to See Game B/C of Parking!

    by kristhrasher on 10/24/14Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    This was the worst example of "parking" I've ever experienced! We arrived in the Columbus area around 6:30, plenty of time (we thought) for a 7:00 game. Because of the way the parking was handled, we sat on the HIGHWAY in the exit lane for 45 minutes. When we reached the point where we would have turned into the actual parking lot, it was closed. Traffic was re-routed, but we didn't know where, there were no signs, we had no idea where we were supposed to go. Eventually we saw all the re-routed traffic was being funneled to one line at a parking lot where they only had one person taking the parking fee. At 8:00 we finally gave up and went home. Very disappointing. Luckily, we saw the Cavs play in Cincinnati the week before were there were absolutely NO parking issues whatsoever.

    I was sad to see that even at the pre-sale time period, there were very few seat available. That being said, I enjoyed the game! The bussing system made parking easy. The security team and ticket scanners were extremely efficient and helpful.

    Amazing Game

    by MHaji on 10/23/14Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    The game was a tough game between two MVP's and a rising superstar in Kyrie Irving. It was an awesome experience and I will definitely go to another game.

    Cavs Bulls

    by Redsfan1966 on 10/23/14Schottenstein Center - Columbus

    My seat was horrible. Poles and cameras in front of me. Thankfully a friend at The Schott helped me out. It was ok.
