Book Synopsis The Miracle of Richfield by : Roger Gordon
Download or read book The Miracle of Richfield written by Roger Gordon and published by Black Squirrel Books, a trade. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three years before Brian Sipe began his magic with the Cleveland Browns, Bill Fitch and his band of Cavaliers brought a buzz to Northeast Ohio basketball that fans had never seen before. Despite a rough start to their 1975-76 season, the Cavaliers rode the shoulders of Akron native Nate Thurmond to the Central Division title. Under his leadership, they qualified for the playoffs. Then in April the Cavs provided fans with a remarkable string of games against the Washington Bullets, winning in incredible fashion three times--twice at The Coliseum in Richfield en route to a 4-3 series victory in the Eastern Conference Semifinal. An emotionally charged experience, this was the Cavs' first time in the playoffs. To further the excitement, three of their four victories weren't clinched until the final buzzer. The noise in The Coliseum was so intense that the building shook. Hailed as the "Miracle of Richfield," many maintain that the 1975-76 season remains the most memorable in Cavaliers history even over the 2006-07 and 2014-15 seasons led by LeBron James. The Miracle of Richfield: The Story of the 1975-76 Cleveland Cavaliers offers readers an inside look at the team, from its slow start winning just 6 of 16 games, the key signing of Thurmond, and winning the Central title to the pulse-pounding playoff series with the Bullets and the disappointing defeat to the Celtics. The '75-76 season--especially the playoff -- provided Cavs fans with an exhilaration that will never be forgotten.

Book Synopsis Tales from the Cleveland Cavaliers Locker Room by : Roger Gordon
Download or read book Tales from the Cleveland Cavaliers Locker Room written by Roger Gordon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before “The Decision,” four MVP awards, and back-to-back NBA championships with the Miami Heat, LeBron James opened the 2003–04 season as an untested rookie with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In Tales from the Cleveland Cavaliers Locker Room: The Rookie Season of LeBron James, first published in 2004, readers will find anecdotes about this extraordinary rookie who grew up a stone’s throw away in Akron. Fans will read about the rest of the Cavaliers, from celebrations on the day lottery luck shone upon the team and the anticipation of LeBron’s debut to disappointments like the season-opening five-game losing streak and 6–19 start; from the excitement of a young team maturing under the guidance of head coach Paul Silas to the shrewd moves of general manager Jim Paxson. There were also the moments bordering on the absurd, like the near-riot on LeBron James Bobblehead Night. And there was the heartbreaking late-season injury to a key player that likely cost the Cavs a playoff berth. Through the eyes and ears of the media, coaches, players, fans, and more, this book is a must-read for any Cavs or NBA fan. It is a whimsical reflection on the rebirth of a forlorn franchise that was quite possibly a Ping-Pong ball away from relocating to another state. It is a look back at how a team led by a teenage kid with remarkable skills, awesome strength, and incredible poise went from being the laughingstock of the NBA to becoming a true playoff contender. In 2014, LeBron James decided to come home, where he remained through 2018, bringing the team its first-ever NBA championship and the city it’s first since the 1964 Browns. In this newly updated edition, Tales from the Cleveland Cavaliers Locker Room will make Cavs fans remember the joy of victory at the hands of King James.

Download or read book The Inside Game written by Wayne Embry and published by The University of Akron Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1999, Wayne Embry was so highly thought of by his peers that he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor to the game. In the summer of 1999, the Cleveland Cavaliers thought so little of him that they replaced him as general manager. Now in his new autobiography, The Inside Game, Embry, who was once sent home from a game when a bullet was found on his seat, tells the inside story of his fall from grace and the part he believes racism played in it. He deals with the unsavory dealings that led to his departure from the Cavs and introduces startling information about one of the most highly regarded coaches in the league. He discusses the social and economic changes affecting the league and other problems threatening to destroy it. His book is part historical perspective, part inside look behind the scenes, part business strategy and part social commentary

Like the Cavs player who accidentally scored a layup in the wrong basket (and another who shot at his own basket on purpose) … The testy Tribe manager who got into a fight during an exhibition game with the Triple-A farm team … The Browns owner who took advice from a random stranger on the street and blew a first-round draft pick on “Johnny Football” … The rookie pitcher shot in the leg while riding on the team bus wearing a cheerleader outfit and go-go boots … The team owner once called “the dumbest man in pro sports” … One Browns star whose season-ending injury came while popping a wheelie and another whose eye was nearly put out by a referee’s flag … The Indians player who was traded for himself … A victory owed to a timely swarm of insects … The Cavaliers’ first draft, planned using bubble-gum cards … When Tribe mascot Slider fell off the outfield wall into live action during a playoff game … Phew! And we’re just getting started. (We haven’t even mentioned 10-Cent Beer Night yet.) If you’re a Cleveland sports fan, you’ll enjoy this offbeat collection.
