Description
The Arena and the Coliseum are long gone . . . but they left behind some great Cavs stories!
The Cleveland Arena is long gone. It was dark and decrepit, yet it generated some special memoriesāas the birthplace of the Cavaliers.
The Richfield Coliseum, once a palace on the prairie, is now just a field of grass. Yet fans can vividly recall how it shook to a deafening roar during so many thrilling momentsāfrom the āMiracleā to āthe Shot.ā
The Cavs teams that played there from 1970 to the 1990s werenāt greatāalthough some were very, very good. Yet they featured players and coaches still cherished by fans for their talent, character or style . . .
Austin Carr, the teamās first starāāMr. Cavalier.ā World B. Free, who arrived via helicopter to save a boring, failing franchise with his sense of humor and 3-point shot. Hot Rod Williams overcame scandal to play nine seasons and used his huge heart to change lives. Mark Price, one of the best outside shooters in NBA history, inspired postgame crowds with his message of faith. Bill Fitch planned the Cavsā first draft using bubblegum cards. Lenny Wilkens coached his teams to the brink of greatness, only to run into Michael Jordan again and again.
The Cleveland Cavaliers of that era come to life in this book. Itās a warm, personal history by a veteran sportswriter who was thereāfirst as a young fan and later as an NBA beat reporter.
If you were there, too, these stories will take you back to vintage Cavs momentsāand also share details you havenāt heard before. If you werenāt, this is an entertaining introduction to a bygone era.
