The Cleveland Cavaliers achieved one of the most memorable NBA Finals victories a decade ago when they overcame a 3-1 deficit to defeat the 73-9 Golden State Warriors to secure the city\u2019s first professional championship in over half a century.<\/p>\n
To celebrate, six members of that championship team are spending a few days in the United Kingdom golfing. Fortunately for us at home, they\u2019ve decided to keep us updated on what\u2019s going on through social media.<\/p>\n
LeBron James, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Tristan Thompson, Richard Jefferson, and Channing Frye made the trip across the pond.<\/p>\n
So far, there\u2019s been plenty of great content shared on this trip.<\/p>\n
First of all, we have J.R. retrieving his lost ball in the pond. That\u2019s something we\u2019ve all had to do, considering the price of quality golf balls these days.<\/p>\n
Next, we have Channing celebrating a good shot over the trees. It\u2019s the shots like this that keep you coming back to golf.<\/p>\n
Drinks are an important part of any golf trip. Fortunately for the group, Tristan came through in this department.<\/p>\n
And lastly, we have LeBron, who\u2019s become addicted to golf based on his Instagram stories over the last year.<\/p>\n
As much fun as it\u2019s been to follow their golf trip, it\u2019s also worth noting the one starter that isn\u2019t there: Kyrie Irving. The Cavs don\u2019t win the championship without Irving\u2019s stellar player, including his 41 points in Game 5 and game-changing three late in Game 7.<\/p>\n
The 2016 championship team will always have a special place in the hearts of Cleveland sports fans. For once, a Cleveland team overcame the impossible and stole victory from the jaws of defeat on the very biggest stage. And they did so in the most dramatic way possible, led by the greatest player of all time, who just so happened to be from the area as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cleveland Cavaliers achieved one of the most memorable NBA Finals victories a decade ago when they overcame…","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6179,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_volume":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2360,107,108],"class_list":["post-6178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cleveland-golf","tag-cavs-news","tag-cleveland","tag-cleveland-golf","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/vive.im\/@fogolf\/117123990421746600","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fogolf.com\/gear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
