NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers' All-Time Starting 5

Guard – Kyrie Irving

The Shot

Although Kyrie Irving forced his way out of Cleveland in 2017, he remains one of the best players to ever suit up for the Cavaliers. Irving was drafted first overall in 2011 and he played in Cleveland for six seasons. He was a five-time All-Star with the team while also helping the Cavaliers reach the NBA Finals three times.

Irving also made the most iconic and important shot in the history of the franchise. He hit the game-winning shot in the 2016 NBA Finals that helped the Cavaliers clinch their first NBA championship. He sits eighth in the Cavaliers’ all-time scoring list while being sixth in assists, ninth in steals, and third in three-points made.

Honorable Mention: Austin Carr

Spending eight and a half seasons with the Cavaliers, Austin Carr is a team legend. His No. 34 jersey has been retired by the team and he was an All-Star with the Cavaliers in 1974. Carr was a consistent player for the Cavaliers helping them reach the post-season three times.
