The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the NBA as an expansion team in 1970. After struggling for much of their early existence, the Cavs sustained success in the late 1980s and early 1990s with an exciting team featuring the likes of Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, Larry Nance, and Ron Harper. The franchise’s fortunes changed after drafting LeBron James with the No. 1 overall pick in 2003. James led Cleveland to five NBA Finals appearances and the franchise’s first championship in 2016 in two separate stints with the team.
