CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The "Kiss Cam" reached its conclusion and there was LeBron James, pressing his lips against the shiny, gold Larry O'Brien trophy.
Fans at Progressive Field cheered. Then they cheered some more. In fact, they haven't ceased the cheering.
The positive energy in Cleveland is palpable. Fans young and old flooded the streets of downtown after the Cavaliers' Game 7 triumph. More than 1 million lined the sidewalks to watch the parade. Streams of fans continue to flock to the Cavaliers' team shop and to the countless local T-shirt companies, which can't print new, championship designs fast enough.
