We are about two days away from the real NBA season beginning. Sixteen teams gearing up at their shot at the Larry O’Brien Trophy and all that took place in the regular season goes out the window. Still it has been a whirlwind six months for many teams trying to contend for a title run, none more so than the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The city is still looking for their first ever championship in a drought that has stood the test of time since Jim Brown was there. Ultimately, the fate of “The Land” rests on the shoulders of their prodigal son, LeBron James.

However, if James is to have a chance at capturing the chip for his beloved city, he must trust in the work his teammates do.

Three members to be exact. Yes, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are a given for the team to be successful, but more importantly, some unsung heroes will have to play a part in securing the title.
