Joy in Sports
You won’t find a city with more faithful fans than that of Cleveland. Experiencing years of heartache, LeBron James and company brought a title back to the town in one of the most exciting and dramatic comebacks in NBA Finals history. While the Warriors kept the regular season more fun and worth watching than perhaps it’s ever been, the Cavs made the postseason one to remember and a great treat to The Land.
If there’s a city that ranks as high in love and dedication to there teams through good and bad times then it’s Chicago. Fittingly, the Cubs faced the Indians in this year’s World Series for a seven-game thrill ride that saw the Windy City franchise win the ‘ship for the first time in over 100 years. Wrigleyville was jumping and baseball fever took over the nation.
The game of basketball has seen many stars and personalities add to its rich history with this year’s Hall of Fame inductees and speeches proving exactly that. Sure to be a first ballot member of that elite fraternity is Kobe Bryant. While few legends see the storybook sendoff they deserve, Kobe’s last game was that of a fairy tale as the 18-year old prince of hoops left the game as a man on mission, willing his team to victory in Black Mamba fashion with a 60 point performance as the league watched and celebrated in his shoes. The best part of Mamba Day and his heroic final act? His last play was an assist.
