Last night, thousands of fans gathered in all areas of the world to support and cheer on the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Last night, thousands of people cried tears of joy as the Cavs made Cleveland the proudest city in the world.
Last night, history was made in Northeast Ohio.
Last night, we became champions.
It was the efforts of the entire Cavaliers team that brought this win home to Cleveland, but it was the leadership, determination, and perseverance of one that made the victory possible.
LeBron James has officially led his team to ultimate success. Every practice, every game, he has given nothing less than 110 percent. He has shown everyone who has ever watched them play just what the Cleveland Cavaliers are made of. Last night, he didn’t just win a championship, he fulfilled a dream—his dream, Cleveland’s dream.
However, LeBron has given so much more to Cleveland, and Northeast Ohio, than a national championship. He has raised the entire spirit of a city that was losing all hope. He has reminded us that we will never be put into situations that we can’t handle. He has proven that anything can be accomplished with hard work and that nothing is given. Everything is earned. This win was not just for his city, but for his home.
LeBron led his team to the championship, but he did not win it alone. Every single player has an important role that is crucial to the success of the team. No player could've been successful without the others. The way the Cleveland Cavaliers work together is the reason that they are the best team in the NBA. The chemistry they share is the reason they are champions.
Last night’s game gave Cleveland more than just a title. This win brought together the family that each and every person from Cleveland is a part of.
Seeing the true happiness on each and every players' face, hearing the emotion in their voices, and seeing the tears rolling down their cheeks gave goosebumps to every Clevelander. It filled every fan with emotions that I don’t think anyone can truthfully put into words.
Last night, history was made. Last night, thousands of people celebrated the city of Cleveland and the Cleveland Cavaliers in a way that Ohio has never seen before. Walking down the streets, you could hear the entire city of Cleveland roaring with excitement. You could feel the love that everyone holds for this city. There is no doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers have the best fans in the world.
Cleveland, Ohio will forever look back on June 19, 2016 and smile. June 19 will be an unofficial holiday for Cavaliers fans all around the world. June 19 is the day that we did it. June 19, 2016 is the day we became champions.
So, with every ounce of congratulations, I have congratulations to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Congratulations to LeBron James. Congratulations to the city of Cleveland! We truly are #ALLIN.
