Game 3

Lebron reassured everyone that a lessoned was learned after losing game 2 and having one of his worst big game performances.
``I've watched the game over and over,'' James said after the Cavs' workout Thursday. ``You'll see a different performance out of me. I'll be ready, I promise you.''

LeBron on Cover of SI

For the 4th time, LeBron gets a SI cover all to himself



This one is called "LeBron In Full" (check it here)

other classic LeBron SI cover titles are:

The Chosen One
The Importance of Being LeBron
and (my favorite)
Best Ever?

Air Zoom LeBron IV's?

Came across this pretty authentic looking pic of the (maybe?) AZLBJ IV for next year. We won't know if this is real for probably about 6 months, but I'm posting it now anyways because I'm a little LeBron obsessed at the moment.

Fear the Abe Lincoln Beard

I gotta say, ever since LBJ grew the Abe Lincoln Beard... we've been winning

Good night at the "Quicks"

Lebron got the proverbial monkey off his back by hitting his first game winner with .9 secs remaining in OT, capping off another spectacular night while notching his 5th triple double of the season and 9th of his career. However, it wasn't just all Lebron all the time, Big Shot Ron Murray continues to rescue the Cavs by draining clutch jumpers, as he did last night to send the game to overtime, and Damon Jones even found his stroke and went 4/5 from behind to arc. "Team Streak" continues to roll along and got back to 10 games over .500.

Oh yeah, Lebron was also named player of the week, just another week at the office.

"I said he'll flip you. Flip ya for real"

Now that Ronny Murray is a memeber of the Cavs, everyone has been asking us, "Where does he rank on Cavs All-Time Nickname team?" We're glad you asked. After minutes of consideration, Cavshistory.com is proud to present, The Cavaliers Top Ten All-Time Nickname squad:


10.) Wayne "Tree" Rollins

9.) Ronald "Flip" Murray

8.) Clarence "Foots" Walker

7.) Robert "Tractor" Traylor

6.) "Flat-Top" Freddie Roberts

5.) "Dinner Bell" Mel Turbin

4.) William "Smush" Parker

3.) Bobby "Bingo" Smith

2.) John "Hot Rod" Williams

1.) "Magic" Milos Babic

Look who came crawling back...

Cavs get Lee Nailon back from the 76ers for a 2006 2nd round pick. Sweet! My dude can score.



Give a shoutout to Cavs who did two tours of duty!

Ty Hill
Tractor
Campy Russell
Paul Mokeski
Henry James
Chucky Brown

(who else did i miss - not bad for off the top of my head)

Hiya Flip!

Cavs trade Mike Wilks to Seattle for Flip Murray!

He'll be a nice PG backup

LBJ = MVP

LeBron had a helluva All-Star Game en route to leading the East All-Stars to a win over the West squad 122-120.
29 pts, 6 rbs, 2 ast, 2 stl - Not too bad, eh?
The voters thought so too. He was named MVP of the game.

I updated the awards page to reflect it.


Way to go LBJ.

FACED!!

Which one did you like better?



OR




One more, just because it looks cool!

Cavs sign Joe...er Stephen Graham

In an effort to fill out a roster, the Cavs signed former Oklahoma State gaurd Stephen Graham to a 10-day contract. Graham will fill in while the Cavs are without Luke Jackson (wrist), Larry Hughes (finger) and Ira Newble (face). If he's lucky, he'll get into a game and will forever be recognized as an official Cavalier and grace the players page on this website. Stay tuned.

Major Update!!! About videos

Guys, you have one week to download any vids you want on this site, because as of Feb 12th, they are all coming down and I'll be showing em on youtube (YouTube.com) instead.

The site has gotten more popular than my bandwidth can hold (over a million hits a month - GOSH!).

Anyways, too many links to the vids, too many weird MySpace pages linking to the vids (apparently a lot of people on MySpace like LeBron, go figure). Anyways, the site is going down daily at about 5pm PST (8pm EST) because of lack of bandwidth.... so, in an effort to keep it up, vids have to go.

They'll still be visable, but just with a Flash YouTube plug-in.

Sorry, changes had to be made, I can't support your LBJ habit alone any more

d

p.s. the site is STILL free and always will be, go Cavs!

More accolades for LBJ...olades

Lebron was once again named Eastern Conference Player of the Week. This is the second time this season Lebron has taken the honor, first capturing it back on Nov. 21 after a week that saw the Cavs go 4-0 and Lebron average 29pts, 8 rebs, and 5 assits, including a triple-double over Philia. This past week he averaged 33.8pts, 8.5rebs, 7.5 assists and 2.3 steals, again leading the Cavs to a 4-0 record with the ultimate highlight coming in a comeback victory over the Phoenix Suns.

Lebron also spurned the league office and will not compete in the Slam Dunk Contest during the All-Star break festivities. Opting instead to compete in the Skills Challenge. For those of you who don't know what the Skills Challenge is, it's the other event that takes place on All-Star Saturday night that nobody cares about.

Remember this?

Two new Nike commercials

Found two LBJ Nike commercials and posted 'em, they are both pretty cool.

The summer training one even features Cavs conditioning coach Stan Kellers!

See it here

The other one is cool, but LeBron looks kinda evil (maybe that's why I never saw it on T.V.)

See that one here

Both are available on the LeBron Phenomenon page

LeBron III

Updated the LeBron page to show the new shoe.



Also posted the new Zoom LeBron III commercial here

It's "The Q" Now...

GO, Gilby, GO!
(p.s. nice job bringing jobs to downtown Cleveland, classy move indeed)

New LeBron Logo

LeBron's new "Signature Collection" logo is pretty cool.

One of the top 5 shooters in the world!

On September 8th the Cavaliers got their three point threat in Damon Jones
Let's hope he knocks down some shots for us over the next four years.

Nascar?

LeBron will adorn the hood of Bobby Labonte's car for the 2005 Sharpee 500 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

Check out the article about it at ESPN

I almost got a little teary eye'd listening to this.

Just found THIS on the internet, Michael Stanley's awesome late '80s/early '90s Cavs them song:
Tonight's the Night (Hard Workin' Town Hard Workin' Team)


Man that song rocks... seriously, I love it.

So, visit the audio page and jam to the other tunes we got up there too.

Kinda Ugly, no?

This is the proposed logo for the "Q".

Usher doesn't approve.

Cavs Press Conference

The Cavs officially introduced Larry Hughes and Donyell Marshall this afternoon at a press conference at Q-Lo Arena. Larry says Lebron was recruiting him throughout the year and Marshall says it doesn't matter if he starts or comes of the bench. Mike Brown seems stoked to have a defensive player the quality of Larry.

Check out the video: Press Conference.

Gund Arena name change

No, it didn't convert to Islam, but the Gund Arena will be going by a new name. The Cavs and Quicken Loans have worked out an agreement to give the naming writes of the building to the biggest on-line mortgage company. Quicken Loans Arena, or "The Q" for short, will be the new home of the Cavaliers. PD article.

Works for me. I'll still probably call it the Gund for the next few years, but "The Quicks", "The Q", "The Q.L.A.", "Q-Lo" "The Raymond Usher III Dance Emporium" are all ok with me.

New Link Buddy

Added Cavaliers Most Valuable Network to the links page.


Check it out. Good insight, cool cavs fan.

Cavs pick up Marshall

Reports have Donyell Marshall signing a four year deal worth between $20-$25 million according to ESPN. Marshall, who hit 12 three point field goals in a game versus Philly this past year, will be relied on heavily by Cavs to "sweet stroke that three ball" and to keep all the other Michael Reghi superlatives coming.

Whether Donyell starts or comes off the bench, the Cavs continue to add depth to their team. However, this raises more speculation about Drew Gooden's future with the Cavs. Could Drew be traded to get a PG? Draft Picks?

BIG Z returns

Rip Van Winkle's favorite player re-ups with the Cavs. Z signs a five year deal worth between $55-$60 million that will probably allow him to finish his career in Cleveland. With the signing of Hughes and Z, coupled with Lebron, the foundation is set for the Cavs.
Check out the ESPN article.


It's nice to see the Cavs actually have a plan and are working it. The ship has been listless in the past, and hopefully, now, with the new ownership and front office, the course is set and headed towards the New World.

Great pick up!

Cavs get Larry Hughes for 5 years!

Did you know

Some may know, some may not. So I thought I'd toot by own horn a bit.

The official Cavs site uses the logos and uniforms that i drew for cavshistory.

Down to 6!

After a long, long struggle... somebody else actually found a pic of Darren Tillis. Apparently the old Cleveland State standout is now a coach at TSU and that's where a submitter (who goes by the name of "ferryisgod") found it and sent it to me.

Thanks!

Now I only have 6 players without pics.

Martyasdfialusdbgas Andkasglis

Its been a while... stuff and Lebron's great sophmore year

OK, I haven't updated in a long time. But I have a decent excuse... I moved cross country and have been busy with real life.
Yes, the owner of Cavs History has moved... to Los Angeles. But don't worry, there is no chance I'm gonna make Clippers history or anything stupid like that.

Anyways, I have done a number of things, biggest of them all is adding this blog with an RSS feed (if you're nerdy you'll know what that means).

I've updated the coaches page to show Big Malone and Mike Brown

If you have been living under a rock you may have missed LBJ's awesome season. Seriously, 27-7-7? That is insane.
Yeah, he was an All-Star starter.
How about coming in 6th in MVP voting?
How about being named 2nd team all NBA?

More cool stuff, the LBJ III shoe has leaked to the web.


In addition he has a summer shoe dedicated to his rookie year's stat line: the 20-5-5.


Check out all his shoes while you're at it. I have 'em all, do you?
