Cavaliers, city of Cleveland celebrate newly refurbished gym on East Side

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The Cleveland Cavaliers, including some team legends, Mayor Frank Jackson and several dozen kids from Ward 7 on Monday celebrated the refurbished gymnasium floor at the Sterling Recreation Center on East 32nd Street.

The celebration was the third at a Cleveland rec center as a result of a deal between the city and the Cavaliers for upgrades at Quicken Loans Arena.

And the speakers urged the kids to take full advantage of the new surface.

"Here you have a newly refurbished court. Here you have a place where you can work on your skills," Ahmaad Crump, the Cavaliers in-arena emcee, told kids in the audience.
