It’s been a long time coming – 52 years, to be exact – but the city of Cleveland is finally a championship one.

Again.

It couldn’t have happened to a better group of guys.

Or a better city.

What will be the lasting memories for you? The tears streaming down the faces of grown men – players, coaches, fans – will forever be embedded in my brain. The visual of LeBron James collapsed onto the floor, shedding raw emotions from a promise he felt forced to deliver on was probably the best moment of the night. The shocked “is this really happening” look of unanimous league MVP will always ring nice for me, as well.

In many ways the Cavs players probably aren’t sure of what’s really happened just yet. This city has been aching for this feeling since seemingly forever. For the players who’ve only been here for a few years, it’s near impossible for them to feel the magnitude of what they’ve done for this town.

For myself as a fan I’m not sure it’s even hit me yet, either.

I’m a Clevelander. I love this city. I love our town. I love our fans. This is an amazing feeling, maximized by the fact that we’ve held true to our allegiance to OUR team.

Thank you Cavaliers. You deserve it.

We do too.
