Fans have selected two-time NBA All-Star Zydrunas “Z” Ilgauskas as the bobblehead to represent the “Gund Arena” Era of Cavaliers basketball from 1994-2003. The exclusive bobblehead will feature the beloved Ilgauskas in a retro Cavs uniform. Big Z is the third of five Era Night bobblehead giveaways to be voted on by fans as part of the Cavs 50th Season Celebration and will be given away to all fans in attendance at one of the designated “Gund Arena” Era Nights during the upcoming season.
Ilgauskas’ tremendous 14-year career in Cleveland began when the 7’3” center was selected by the Cavaliers as the 20th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft.
