This week is the first week of true NBA basketball games. I am a huge fan of the NBA and watching the games. Most people hate watching basketball, but I love it. I especially like watching my favorite team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland is currently playing in their first game as I type this blog. My roommate and I are glued to our seats and I am sure we will not be moving. I remember a few years back when Lebron left the Cavs to go to the Miami Heat, I was devastated. I grew up watching Lebron on the Cavs and I was sad to see him leave. I never stopped being a Cavs fan though. I remember when I was in middle school my parents brought me to a Cavs game and I fell in love with the team even more. That is when I knew I would be a fan for life. Then Lebron made the decision to come back to his hometown and compete for a championship. I remember watching his announcement sitting on my living room couch. It literally made my entire week. It was even better watching Lebron lead the Cavs to NBA finals many years in a row. Finally, in 2016, Lebron finally accomplished his goal. He brought a championship back to Cleveland. It was a huge moment for the city and I thought it was a huge moment for me too haha. Now the Cavs start another season and I am so excited to watch them. No matter what I will always love the Cavs.
If you are following the football team and our season, you know that this is the season's last week and last game. I am not going to lie, it has been a very long season for us. We are currently 2-7 which is very unfamiliar territory for many players on our team. In high school, I never had a season with more than 3 losses, so this has been relatively different for me. Even though our record doesn't show it, this has been the closest team that I have been a part of since coming to campus three years ago. In the future, that is what we are all going to remember. We are going to remember the relationships that we formed and that are going to last for the rest of our lives. Some of the seniors that are graduating have been some of my best friends for the last three years. I actually live with two seniors that are graduating now. As this week has gone on and we continue to do events for senior week, it has gotten to be very emotional. I still don't think it has hit me that so
I totally get the struggle of being a Cavs fan. Living in Cleveland, you are almost forced to like any Cleveland sports team. The struggle of watching LeBron leave was the worst wave the city could go through. I remember being downtown during one of the final games watching and the whole city erupting when we won. Cleveland fans are loyal all the way. You just have to keep that mindset and stick it out!
