Hey Cavs fans, how about next time waiting until your team wins a championship before you celebrate?  |
With all due respect, David, I think you have to put yourself as a Cavs fan to understand why their fans reacted this way. LeBron has been the best player in the league for a while now and when he chose to leave, it ripped the heart out of many fans in the city of Cleveland. One huge reason is because they instantly became one of the worst teams by losing LeBron. I'm sure you remember how a lot of them reacted when he left. Burning jerseys, throwing all kinds of hatred his way...they were devastated as they knew what their inevitable fate would hold. So when he decided to come back home, what did they do? Yeah, they remember how great it was to have such a special player and also to contend every year and possibly earn a title soon. So an opening day celebration was merited IMO...a championship doesn't have to occur in order for a city to celebrate. Of course that is their goal...to win, but their team will be special for at least a few more years and that is something to be excited for, especially when you have been losing as much as Cleveland has.
Don't get me wrong, David...I understand what you are saying. It's pretty standard to hold such a celebration after you win a championship, but a lot of teams have opening day celebrations...pretty common actually. I didn't see Cleveland's celebration, so I'm guessing they could have got overexcited
