Who was your first favorite Cavs player?

1. LeBron James. He’s the reason I choose the Cavs as my favourite team when I was little. I don’t live in the USA and am far from every team but I loved watching Lebron when I was little so I became a fan and have stuck around since

2. I always had a soft spot for Kevin Love just because he always got so much shit from everyone. He felt like the friend that everyone bullied in the name of ‘joking around’. I just wanted to see him do well.

3. Mark Price, I could not be like Mike. I thought he was an asshole. I chose the Cavs because they were a group of good guys.

4. My first favorite was LeBron, but my second favorite was Mo Williams

5. Derek Anderson.

6. Ira Newble

7. When I first started watching the Cavs, Terrell Brandon was becoming a star. Honorable mentions: Brevin Knight, Bob Sura, [Vitaly Potapenko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitaly_Potapenko), and big Z!

8. Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Super tall dude who’s name started with a Z pretty much checked all the boxes for being the coolest player ever when I was a kid.

9. Big Z, then along came LeBron, and the late 2000s combo with Mo Williams was some of my favorite basketball as a teenager. It was just perfect to me that Mo got to come back and win a ring here.

10. Varejao

11. I’m not even ashamed, but Darius Miles.

12. Hot Rod Williams and Brad Daugherty for sure.

13. Terrell Brandon

14. I got to play some pick up basketball games with Vitaly in college. I went to Wright State.

    He’s was / is gigantic

15. Kyrie Irving. At the time i was debating between a few teams who i’d become a fan of, but Kyrie got me obsessed with basketball.

16. Alonzo Gee

17. Christian Eyenga for sure – dude could jump

18. Mark Price
