CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Greater Cleveland Sports Awards not only celebrated excellence by athletes and teams in the city, it was a continuation of championship excellence that dominated the headlines in 2016.

And the Cleveland Cavaliers, just as they did for winning the 2016 NBA Finals, collected even more hardware on Thursday night at the Renaissance Hotel downtown.

The Cavaliers won the award for Best Moment in Cleveland Sports and LeBron James won Professional Athlete of the Year.

Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said the organization was happy to bring joy to the city.
