The Cleveland Cavaliers, an NBA team established in 1970, initially struggled but achieved their first Central Division title and playoff appearance in 1976. After a challenging period, the franchise was revitalized by drafting LeBron James in 2003, leading to their first NBA Finals appearance in 2007. Following James' departure in 2010 and the subsequent drafting of stars like Kyrie Irving in 2011, James sensationally returned in 2014. He then led the team to four consecutive NBA Finals, culminating in their historic first-ever NBA Championship in 2016, marking Cleveland's first major sports title since 1964 with a memorable comeback from a 3-1 deficit. Owned by Dan Gilbert since 2005, the Cavaliers currently hold one NBA title, five Eastern Conference titles, and eight Central Division titles.
