The Cleveland Cavaliers are a franchise that has limited success throughout the history of the NBA. They were a very tough out in the late 1980s and the early 1990s, but they ran into a Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls’ buzzsaw.
The Cavs’ franchise history isn’t one that stacks up against the top franchise in NBA history like the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, or San Antonio Spurs.
Recent history, however, has changed the perception of the franchise as they are fresh off of a four-year NBA Finals run from 2014-18, including their lone NBA title.
