ESPN has released a feature examining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ roster a decade after the franchise captured its first NBA championship in the 2016 Finals against the Golden State Warriors.
The piece revisits the players, coaches and executives who ended Cleveland’s 52-year major-sports title drought, highlighting where each key figure is now and what roles they hold in basketball or other ventures.
The 2016 clash, led by LeBron James and Kyrie Irving on one side and Stephen Curry on the other, is widely regarded as one of the greatest Finals series ever, punctuated by the Cavaliers’ historic comeback from a 3-1 deficit.
According to ESPN, the anniversary story details how members of that championship roster have transitioned—from continued NBA careers to coaching, front-office work, broadcasting and business pursuits—since lifting the Larry O’Brien Trophy in June 2016.
The retrospective serves as both a commemoration of the dramatic seven-game series and an update on the lives and careers of the figures who delivered Cleveland’s long-awaited title.
