Cleveland Cavaliers fans should be like LeBron James and savor this moment -- Terry Pluto (photos)

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- I love how LeBron James didn't want to talk about the Golden State Warriors.

At least not right after the Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics in the 2017 NBA Eastern Conference Finals.

"We need to live in the moment," James told the media after Thursday's series clincher.

Those of us who grew up with the Cavaliers should understand that. We've not only had so many bad moments with the Cavs, we've had horrible decades.

Cavaliers broadcaster Joe Tait was worried the franchise would not survive its first season.

The year was 1970.
