The Cavaliers had a very rocky start with the first 15 years being a losing season, after losing season. While some fans blamed the owner at the time, as he had no clue what he wanted to do with the team. But in 1988 the Cavaliers put together a rather good team, that made it to the playoff. During the first round of the playoff the Cavaliers played the Chicago Bulls in the best of five series. In the 5th game the Cavaliers were leading with only second to go in the game, but as with other teams in Cleveland, it would happen again, Michael Jordon would hit a basket with only 2 seconds left on the clock, this basket would be known as the “shot”, as this is a common theme for Cleveland fans, that all heartbreaking plays are given a name. Again, after the 1988 season the Cavaliers would only have mediocre seasons until after the 2003 draft, as a hometown boy from Akron, Ohio, named LeBron James, was graduating from high school, although the Cavaliers were not guaranteed that they would have the first draft pick to sign James, but as fate would have it, the Cavs, ended up winning the draft lottery and signed this young man to play for the Cavaliers.

A record number of eight 50s were handed out, and that total could have been higher if “Russian” judge Shaquille O’Neal had not handed out a pair of 9s on Gordon and LaVine attempts in the opening round. As the contest progressed, both dunkers were forced to make up dunks up on the fly following a Championship Round in which both dunkers posted dual 50s. Gordon and LaVine consulted with other players on the sideline as they tried to come up with new material on the spot. Both dunkers repeatedly sent the Canada Centre crowd into a frenzy with a record six consecutive perfect scores as the event morphed into a sudden death dunk-off where putting up anything less than a 50 was likely to lose the competition. That’s exactly what happened when Gordon posted a 47 on his final dunk and LaVine kept his perfect streak alive with a windmill dunk from just inside the free throw line to take the

The Golden State Warriors seemed as if they were destined for a repeat leading the series 3-1 and will likely cap off their historic season. The criticism instantly began towards James. It wasn't anything he hasn't heard before.

It is impossible to win a game if your team can not score. Statistically, this past season, the 76ers offense was the second worst in the history of the league. This seasons mean offensive rating was 105.6, the 76ers offensive rating was a measly 90.05, giving them the second-worst offense of all time (bleacher). The NBA has been around for sixty-eight years and the Philadelphia team of 2014-2015 had the second worst offensive throughout that whole time. Also, this season they had the highest turnover percentage (bleacher). Turnovers are when a team has the ball on offense and gives it to the opposing team without getting an attempt to score. That is not a good thing. It is hard to score the ball when teams are incapable of taking care of

umbled by the Heat's loss to the Mavericks, James spent the offseason working with Hakeem Olajuwon on his post game.[115][116] His work with Olajuwon paid off, fueling what Grantland's Kirk Goldsberry called "one of the greatest and most important transformations in recent sports history".[117] Behind James' more post-oriented play,[117] Miami matched their best start to a season in franchise history,[118] and at the conclusion of the lockout-shortened 2011–12 campaign, he was named MVP for the third time, finishing with averages of 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.9 steals per game on 53 percent shooting.

Joe Johnson’s buzzer beater in Game 1 led the Jazz to an upset victory. Chris Paul led the Clippers to a Game 2 victory with 21 points and 10 assist. Before Ruby Gobert’s knee injury the Jazz posed a threat to the Clippers; however, he is expected to miss Game 3 and is uncertain for the series. This series could have gone the distance and be ranked number one but without the “Stifle Tower” the Jazz don’t possess enough firepower.
