Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Cavaliers sometimes go by the moniker "The Wine and Gold." Why is this?

Answer: The team's primary colors are red and yellow

The team's primary colors are such that, the red is dark enough to resemble wine, and the yellow is light enough to resemble gold.

Answer: LeBron James and JR Smith

With the backbreaking Game 7 tied at 89 apiece with just under two minutes to go, Andre Iguodala (GS Warriors) grabbed a defensive rebound and immediately blitzed toward the other end of the court. He passed it to Steph Curry, who gave it right back. With only JR Smith there to defend, his good efforts still forced Iguodala to take a very brief delay on the release of his layup, and this was ever so barely enough. LeBron James, who had been bulldozing down the court, arrived in time to blast the eventual layup against the glass, in a play later immortalized as "The Block," which kept the game tied.

The Cavs went on to win Game 7 93-89 and the series 4-3.

Answer: Kyrie Irving hitting a crucial three-pointer in the 2016 Finals

With the game tied at 89 apiece with just under a minute to go, Kyrie Irving hit a massive three pointer right in Steph Curry's face to give the team a 92-89 lead that would hold up to the end, of Game 7... and give the Cavs their first-ever NBA title with a 4-3 series win.

"The Shot" by Michael Jordan was in May 1989, in Game 5 of the first-round playoff series. The Cavs were leading 100-99 until Jordan's buzzer-beater gave the Bulls a 101-100 win, a 3-2 series win.

Answer: Quicken Loans Arena

Quicken Loans Arena, endearingly called "The Q", is where the Cavs played. Its name was changed before the 2019 season to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

5. In the two decade period, 2000s and 2010s, the Cavaliers have had the NBA's first overall pick four times. Which of these four players was one of those number one picks?

Answer: LeBron James

LeBron was drafted by the Cavs in 2003, first overall. He was undoubtedly the team's greatest draft pick in team history. Unfortunately, other #1 picks made by the team, namely Anthony Bennett (2013 draft) and Andrew Wiggins (2014 draft), either did not pan out nearly as much or never even suited up for the team to begin with.

The other number one pick during those two decades was Kyrie Irving (2011 draft) - he was name Rookie of The Year and went for the Boston Celtics n 2017.

6. In what division of the Eastern Conference do the Cavaliers play?

Answer: Central

The Cavaliers share the division with rival teams in the Pacers, Bulls, Bucks and Pistons. They've been in the Central Division since 1970, when it was created.

7. LeBron James joined the team ____ times and left the team ____ times.

Answer: two

LeBron James was drafted in 2003, leaving in 2010. He rejoined the team four years later, then left again following the 2018 season.

8. Have the Cavaliers retired anyone's jersey during the two decades 2000s and 2010s?

Answer: Yes

In 2014, the team hung up Zydrunas Ilgauskas' #11 jersey in the rafters. He will definitely not be the last to have it happen.

9. During the two decades 2000s and 2010s, did a Lebron James-less Cavaliers team ever make the playoffs?

Answer: No

That's a pretty big exclamation point for how much LeBron truly brought to the team by himself. In six total seasons, the Cavaliers have failed to even come close to making the playoffs without LeBron around.

10. What is a shortened moniker that the Cavaliers often take on?

Answer: The Cavs

"Let's go Cavs!" will blare out from the PA systems often at team home games.
