NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers' All-Time Starting 5

Forward – LeBron James

LeBron James

There is no doubt that LeBron James is the greatest Cavaliers player of all-time. So his inclusion in the team’s all-time starting five is a no-brainer. James was a two-time NBA MVP, ten-time All-Star, eight-time All-NBA First Team, and 2004 Rookie of the Year with the Cavaliers. He also brought the suffering sports city of Cleveland their first championship since 1964 in 2016.

James also holds most the of the Cavaliers’ franchise records and ranks first in points, minutes played, rebounds, assists, steals, and three-points made in the Cavaliers’ all-time leaderboards. He might have left Cleveland twice in his career but his legacy is already secured. His legendary No. 23 jersey is surely hanging up the rafters of Quicken Loans Arena once he retires along with a bronze statue outside.

Honorable Mention: Forward – Kevin Love

A vital part of the championship-winning team in 2016, Kevin Love played the best defense of his life against Stephen Curry in the final play of the title-clinching game. Love is a two-time All-Star for the Cavaliers and if he stays in Cleveland for the rest of his career, he’ll be considered as one of the best in the franchise’s history.
