Hey, Braylon: It’s Not About Michigan.
December 16, 2008The 5-Hole, CBJ News and Notes – 12/16/08
December 16, 2008Commenter Ricky did something the Browns weren’t able to do last night. Namely win something! Our 12 Days of a Cleveland Fan Christmas rolls on with Ricky picking up the stylish Phil Dawson ‘Captain Clutch’ shirt! (Congratulations to Phil Dawson as well for setting the franchise mark for field goals in a season last night. Dubious honor, as it may be…)
Today’s giveaway is a great one. How would you like to see the Cavs in person? That’s right – two tickets to the Q to see LeBron, Mo, Andy and the gang take on the Detroit Pistons on Sunday Feb. 22nd on ESPN!
Because of the prize I’m going to be a stickler on the rules of the contest. Make sure your entry qualifies. What is a qualifying entry you asked? Here you go:
Each day of the contest, we will ask a question for you to answer. Respond to the giveaway post with a comment formatted like this- restate the question, then answer it in EXACTLY 64 words. (Last year of a major Cleveland championship.)
– You may only enter once each day. You are free to comment on each other’s answers, however.
– The winner will be chosen at random from the qualifying entries. Winners will be notified the following day by email (make sure the email address you registered to comment with is a real one!) You must be at least 18 years old to win, and only one winner per household during this giveaway please.
The prizes range from tickets to the Tribe home opener, to books, to jerseys, and even a few WFNY items thrown in there too. (Yes, shameless self-promotion!) No complaining about which prize you win, those have been randomly selected for specific days of the contest. Sound good? Hey it’s free stuff, how picky can you get?! All answers have to be submitted by midnight, Cleveland time. Don’t worry about having the same answer as someone else, just put it in your own words. It isn’t a contest to see who is a better writer. Remember though…EXACTLY 64 words!
With that said…Here’s today’s question to respond to:
Before the LeBron James era, who was the best player to wear a Cavalier uniform?

kbnugs- Windhorst came out and disputed the rumor. He is the best source of info for the Cavaliers. I’m going with him.
(checking rule book)…. Uh.. (Doing Romeo Face)…. Uh (looking for technicality)…. The name of the door is “WFNY” mother****er!
That was said in jive BTW.

Never saw Austin Carr play and certainly not “in the Q”, but to think of the Cavs without him calling the games makes cringe. So what if he had to play a little professional basketball before he reached his true life’s calling? I would rather watch the Cavs in black and white then listen to anyone else call the games. “Flight 23 taking off.”

Not being much of a consistent follower until the LBJ era, it is difficult to answer this question. First thought is Mark Price, but i think i will go with Andre Miller. I respect the legends, but Andre Miller is someone i was able to catch occasionally. Andre scored just enough points and had amazing passing and leadership skills. Its ashamed he was traded.
Before the LeBron James era, who was the best player to wear a Cavalier uniform?
Mark Price, no questions asked. Floor general in every stretch of the phrase. The tidbit about him posted above should say enough really. The man is a legend, not just in Cleveland, but in the NBA. I would have loved to have seen him stay a Cavalier for life. I never met the man but he also looked like he was quite the gentleman.
Before the LeBron James era, who was the best player to wear a Cavalier uniform?
I am going with Lenny Wilkens. He is in the hall of fame as a player and coach. Although he only played with the Cavs for a few seasons in the 70s, he was the coach during the best years before Lebron James. He led the Cavs to 57 wins twice and was an all-star for the Cavs as a player and a coach.
Before the LeBron James era, who was the best player to wear a Cavalier uniform?
Mark Price. I say this not only because he overcame a severe lack of stature, but because he was the best “true” point guard the Cavs have had in their tenure. His long career’s stats are impressive but not gaudy, proving that he was a pass first player. He was a leader both on the court and off, donating much of himself to charity
Come on man! Mark Price was great (and probably my favorite pre-2003 Cav), but someone has to give some credit to Brad Daugherty. The man is one of the Cavs’ all-time leading scorers and rebounders, and was the leader of some great mid-80s, early-90s teams. Cleveland was one of the few teams that actually challenged Jordan’s Bulls and Daugherty was a major reason why.
well i messed that up….
