To some sports fans, the city of Cleveland, Ohio, is believed to be jinxed. Their baseball team, the Indians, has never won a World Series. Their football team, the Browns, has not won a championship since 1964. Their basketball team, the Cavaliers, has struggled to make the playoffs year after year. But in 2003, the jinx was lifted when the Cleveland Cavaliers selected future superstar LeBron James as their number one draft pick. James was a high school basketball phenomenon from Akron, Ohio. In his first season with the Cavaliers, James was named Rookie of the Year. In his second season, 2004-2005, he became the youngest player ever to record a triple-double, and by his fourth season, 2006-2007, the Cavaliers made it to the NBA finals for the first time ever. As part of the series, Sensational Sports Teams, Aretha takes readers through the history of the Cleveland Cavalier franchise. He highlights spectacular moments, famous players, coaches, owners and broadcasters. Websites featuring additional information are posted throughout the book enabling readers to easily locate facts for potential research reports. The addition of high-quality color photos, Cavalier player statistics, franchise timeline and glossary will interest young NBA basketball fans.
