Cleveland finally got its trophy. Fifty-two years after the Browns won the 1964 NFL championship, the Cavaliers broke a streak that seemed like it would never end and came back against the Warriors in the 2015-16 NBA Finals to bring gold back to Cleveland. By my count, during that time span, 151 teams representing Cleveland in the four major American professional sports went out to win a championship and came back empty-handed. (Save your jokes about the 2016 Browns and their motivations.) You're familiar with the Browns, Cavaliers and Indians, but it's a list that includes the Crusaders of the World Hockey Association and the Barons of the NHL, too.
