1. Return To The Wine & Gold
For many basketball players and fans, LeBron James is today’s iconic face of the sport. For the people of Cleveland, LeBron James is the Chosen One and from 2003 to 2010, the Cavaliers more or less honored LeBron with his own jersey.
Before the King’s arrival, the team had worn some mixture of blue and orange for nearly 20 years. As they returned to the wine and gold color way, the colors that represented The Miracle of Richfield, the city was braced for the dawn of King James.
While in these jerseys the Cavaliers raised an Eastern Conference Finals banner and at the time, it was their highest achievement since the 1970-71 NBA-ABA merger.
James delivered many signature moments and games in his prime. Namely against Paul Pierce and the Boston Celtics and Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
