There are certain things in life that you don’t get to choose. You can’t choose your name, your parents, and where you were born. To a certain extent, that’s true with being a sports fan. You don’t always choose your favorite team, it’s something you were born into.
I’ve been a Cleveland Cavaliers fan since I began watching the NBA. I remember the excitement that came when the Cavs won the lottery in 2003 and got the chance to draft LeBron James. I’ll never forget seeing an 18 year old LeBron walk across the stage in his all white suit to shake David Stern’s hand after the Cavs drafted him.
