Yo Outlaw, I'm not a big poster but I visit the board daily. I am a freshmen at University of Dayton, but I live on the west side of Cleveland. I try to watch every game. I think Lebron and b mac are the man (best poster on the cavs board). I am just waiting for Lebron to destroy every time in the playoffs, peace.

I swear I dont know Natty Light in case anyone is wondering, but again thanks for the compliment. You should post more bro.


I'm 24 moved to North Canton in December from Wooster. I Graduated from Ashland University in 06. Im engaged and am getting married in October. Im actually in the process of finding a new job so if anyone has any leads in this area I could use the help. I have a cat named Lola and she has a Cavs jersey that she wears during important games. So far her record is 7-1. My bank account number is 342335469 and my pin is 5294. My social security is 298-38-4799.

Go Cavs!

I don't know Bmac but i read all of quotes and he is the man, back off. My name is Natural Light for a reason, 30 rack is only 12.99, it taste bad, but does the job. By the way Lebron is going to average a triple a double in the playoffs.

23, graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College over in Berea (right next to the Browns practice facility!!) last year. Got a bachelors in Finance and business management. I'm living over in South Euclid currently but will move back out on the west side once I land this job which I find out tomorrow if I landed it! Got a sweet gf of almost 3 years now, she lives in Richfield and I think its awesome that her backyard is exactly where the Richfield Coliseum used to be, now its just all protected grassland for the bobolink birds. Literally sittin on rockers on her logcabin back porch sipping brewskis I'd be looking directly at the Coliseum, 200 feet away, if it were still there.


I knew NOTHING about basketball 3 years ago. Absolutely NOTHING. In these past 3 years I've come to know EVERY single NBA player, their avg stats, play styles, the teams, gms, owners, and anything else NBA related you can think of. Its actually quite shocking how fast you can learn about a sport if you just become interested in it. Honestly, 4 years ago, ask me who to name 10 nba teams and I couldn't do it.

I'm normally a lurker on the Realgm boards, I read almost every general board topic and cavs topics, I just don't really care to post alot.

44 year old father of 6, masters degree (computer science) from the college of william and mary. Worked at NASA for 8 years and have been a self employed computer programmer ever since - a strange tangent from that led to my starting my own business 3 months ago (see sig) which is off to a pretty good start.

Basketball fan since a young kid. My earliest basketball memories are

- the big deal that was made over Kareem vs Wilt any time they played
- how excited my dad was when our local team (the virginia squires) drafted Dr. J - I was 8
- the big tv special they had when John Wooden retired

Freshman at Vanderbilt University. Live in Solon when I'm home. I'm a secondary education major with a specialization in English. I've followed the Cavs ever since I moved to Ohio from Boston but I'm a bigger fan of the Browns than anything else.

I'm 45 and a longtime Cavaliers fan. I remember their first season and going to see the Cavs play at the old Arena (OMG what a dump). I have an MBA from CSU and a BBA from the University of Cincinnati. I have been working in Financial Services for 13 yrs now having gone from banking to small business to private banking to mortgage and now to tax. Originally from Cleveland (I'm a Shaker Heights Alum) but I've been relegated to living in one of the more boring cities in OH (Cincinnati). I am currently in line for a promotion which is going to likely mean a change in locations.

I'm 25, from San Diego, graduated from UCLA, married a USC Trojan, and have a son who's a year and a half old...

I run the entire entertainment division at the House of Blues, and will be co-owning one in the San Diego beginning in the summer of 2010 upon renovations and breaking of new ground..

My father grew up in Ohio, so I have a ton of family out here.. Always been a Cavs fan, which was pretty much unfortunate up until 6/26/03..

I actually was at the game where Michael scored 69 on the Cavs, was at Larry Bird's last game ever (game 7 of the 92 semi's) and was at game 4 of the 92 ECF where Jordan and Ferry got into a fight.. :lol:

I never really became a Lakers fan at all.. However, I did attend many of their playoff and finals games when I was in high school and college earlier this decade.. So I basically grew up with Kobe and the Kobephiles....

23, just moved from Cleveland to Parma, graduated from Case Western and work for a large corporation in downtown Cleveland. I am under the belief that I have a direct effect on the outcome of games, and will do some very odd things to give the Cavs an advantage (in my head at least).

I'm 22, living in Istanbul, Turkey, studying TV-Journalism and it's my senior year in the college. I'm also working as a sports journalist mostly specialized on Soccer, Basketball, Tennis and Athletics. I'm kind of addicted to sports, watching games, tournaments and stuff from all over the world since 7-8 years old.

35 and living in Holland MI, but originally from Vermilion, home of the Woolybear Festival! Ohio U. class of 96, and I'm two credits away from a Master's degree from Virginia State U. which I probably will never finish. Married for 11 years, my son Layne is 2.5 and our second child is due in Sept.

My first Cavs game was in 1978 against the champion Trailblazers and I've been a fan of both teams ever since. I lived and died with the Price/Daugherty/Nance teams and Larry Nance is probably still my favorite PF of all time. I'm a huge Z fan, my favorite Cavalier of all time. I still get to a couple games a year, usually in Chicago and Detroit. I used to referee hoops, got as high as D-II but I gave that up a couple years ago when I started to focus more on football scouting and writing. I am currently semi-employed as a NFL collegiate scout on a tendered contract basis, which basically means one NFL team pays me to evaluate certain players for them. Though that relationship is ending after next month's draft...

Haven't lived in Cleveland since 99, when the Browns came back and Ty Detmer and Madre Hill lived on either side of me and Jim Thome lived across the roadway in Aurora. I used to play rec league hoops with Ronnie Duncan and some other recognizable Cleveland sports personalities, but I'm a much better volleyball player. Come see me on the beach sometime...

24, Psychology Major and I'm going to break a theme right now

Born and Raised in Brooklyn,NY on concrete basketball courts from the Cage to the Rucker.

I am a fan and student of the game. I am a PG and just naturally study different dynamics of the game. So you all bet I started watching when Lebron started playing right? Wrong. I loved Cav pgs from Terrell Brandon, Price, Brevin Knight, and Andre Miller. Lebron came as a bonus and I think he is probably the best pg they ever had.

So if you can accept an outsider who has loved the Cavs and probably the only reason why I watch the NBA it would be much appreciated.

Played two years basketball for the Marine Corps team during training(yes they have a basketball team but they play internally) but like most NY players, knees gave way.And with that said married with a son(almost 1yrs old) who is a beast and will be the best PG to ever touch leather and peach basket.lol.

Oh and no I'm not one of those guys who is looking for Lebron to leave Cleveland and come to NY, honestly I think it is bad for basketball.

I'm 41, married with 3 kids. I grew up on the westside of cleve and played strictly on the playgrounds growing up. I'm a sales rep for a small company that does custom auto interiors among other things. I have coached rec league hoops for my son since 2002, and recently for my older daughter (big difference coaching girls).

My first Cavs game was against the Lenny Wilkens Supersonics, 3rd row behind their bench. It was my first exposure to any BBall since we only went b/c the tickets were free. I didnt really get into playing until busing started in cleve, I got schooled by the black guys at gym every day but kept at it until I wasnt too bad for a 5'9 white guy.

41, married, 3 almost grown children. Born and raised in Akron Oh. Job promoted me to manage a warehouse in Eads TN.

It was just my luck to move down here the year the Cavaliers reached the finals! Thats ok I got my NBA pass and NFL ticket, I spent way too much $ watching the Browns at BW3's last season!!

Been a Cavs fan since the year they played Boston back in the Fitch? days? But lived and died with the Price, Nance, Brad team. BBall is my fav sport and if you pass through TN. and see a Cavaliers licsense plate, or flag flying, thats probably me!

I really can relate to the hoops fans down here, it reminds me of the disinterest that was going on with the Cavs back when I had season tix at the end of the Shawn Kemp era.

Neat, nice read. I graduated from Univ. o' Dayton in 1993. Typically I become a big fan of the nearest nba team so I'm a Wizards fan now, I work in dc as a govt worker bee by day and I dj on the weekends.

I'll be here to gloat if the zards win the series and if not I'll just have to talk trash about the buckeyes or something.
Help us, Obi-wan Leonsis. You're our only hope.

Return to Cleveland Cavaliers
