Cavaliers Legends Gather to Honor Wall of Honor Inductees
For many people, Sunday is family day. And at this past Sunday’s tremendous Wall of Honor ceremony, it was more than just a celebration of the Cavaliers organization. It was a celebration of the Cavaliers family.
In a morning ceremony before Sunday’s matchup against the Sixers – and in an emotional tribute to the quintet of Cavaliers legends at halftime – perhaps the most complete collection of the franchise’s former players gathered under one roof.
The event honored five of the Cavalier family’s most influential figures: John Johnson, the Cavaliers first-ever draft pick and All-Star; Bill Fitch, the organization’s first head coach and architect of its early success; Wayne Embry, the culture-altering general manager from 1986 to 1999; John “Hot Rod” Williams, the greatest sixth man in Cavs history; and, of course, Nick Mileti, the Wine & Gold’s visionary original owner.
