Fifteen Years Ago Today, LeBron James Was Drafted First Overall By The Cavs

Today is a good day to look back on and remember if you are a Cavs fan. On this date fifteen years ago, Cleveland selected LeBron James with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft.

A lot has transpired since June 26, 2003, as we all know. But that day was the beginning of an era that has put the city of Cleveland on the sports map for the better part of a decade-and-a-half.

James was not the only star to come out of that particular draft. The 2003 draft class is highly-considered the best class of all-time.
