Sunday was a very special, and historical, day at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Five individuals who played core roles in the early years of the Cleveland Cavaliers were honored unlike anyone before them: by being inducted into the new Cavaliers Wall of Honor.
Wayne Embry, Bill Fitch, the late John Johnson, Nick Mileti and the late John “Hot Rod” Williams make up the inaugural class of the Wall of Honor, and they were officially welcomed into the exclusive society at an induction ceremony on Sunday morning.
Embry and Mileti were in attendance on Sunday; Johnson’s son, Mitch, represented his father; and Williams’ daughter, Johnna, was on-hand to represent Hot Rod and the rest of their family.
