Major Key Alert: The four-pronged key to the Big Three’s ultimate success

The Cleveland Cavaliers will go as far as the Big Three can take them but how far can the Big Three go?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially embarking on their quest to defend their NBA throne. Tonight will be a special moment in Cleveland history as the Cleveland Cavaliers raise their first NBA Finals banner. A Finals series that the Cavs won in historic fashion.

The Big Three has come back looking revitalized and healthier than ever. Kevin Love looks like he’s continued to slim down but has added muscle that will help him be more efficient when he’s down low with the big men. LeBron James looks good in general. He’s flying around the court making plays like he’s in his early 20s again. Kyrie Irving hasn’t had the best production on the preseason courts but he won the starting point guard spot for Team USA this summer in the 2016 Rio Olympics. He also won a gold medal while showing the offensive moves that have captivated the Cleveland hopeful since his NBA induction and an increased intent on passing the ball.

The team has added important pieces. A shooter in Mike Dunleavy Jr., a speedy point guard in Kay Felder, and a rim-protecting center in Chris Andersen. However, the Cavs will only go as far as the Big Three takes them. The question is how far they can go after two seasons of questions about whether or not they all fit together. Yet, the question isn’t if they fit. The question is will they score enough points individually to stay content as a unit. For the last two years, that hasn’t seemed to be the case.

However, with a focus on four basic tenets of basketball, the Cavs Big Three won’t have to question if everyone has scored enough anymore.
