Aweful

I don't know if there's ever been a more depressing team in sports than the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Lions were close a couple of years ago. But really, the Cavs were on top of the food chain when they had LeBron. They didn't win it all, but they consistently won 60+ games a year. They sold out arenas. People took notice. Now, they are breaking the record for the most consecutive losses every time they get on the court.

Not only does this make the case that LeBron was the ultimate MVP, but it goes to show how much that city needed him. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the man. But when a team literally goes from consistently first (more or less) to the worst of the worst, you can't help but reason why.

What makes it even more depressing is that they tried to keep him. They tried to make their team better. They tried to sign more talent. They tried not to suck. But he left and they do. If I were a Cleveland fan, I would be bitter. I don't know if I've ever seen a collapse of this magnitude from one season to the next. Sure, the Blazers lost Oden before he had time to shine, but at least the fans didn't get a taste of the nectar before the flower died.
