— --

fter back-to-back victories to force Game 7 of the NBA Finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers were on the verge of accomplishing the unthinkable: rallying from a 3-1 series deficit against back-to-back MVP Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the best regular-season team in NBA history. Cleveland sports fans have waited and waited for this moment - a gut-wrenching 52 years since their city's last professional championship - and before LeBron James & Co. delivered on his promise to bring a title to The Land, those trophy-hungry residents of Ohio shared their thoughts on the Finals and what a championship would mean to the Cleveland faithful.
