I will be out of town this weekend for a college football game and am looking to give these tickets away. Share below your favorite cavs memory, and I will pick the winner within 24 hours.
These seats include access to a new lounge being built, which have food and drinks included. The tickets will be shared through SeatGeek, they will not be able to be resold, to avoid someone trying to profit off of my kindness.

Mine is being at the Q for game 7 of the finals for the watch party. Everyone was so loud in there and the energy felt like the game was being played there. It was amazing.
What’s the catch?
Whose dick needs to be sucked?
Snuck into the 2016 Cavs – Warriors outside viewing party with my at the time girlfriend!Probably my favorite sports memory I have ever had. Till this day as a Cleveland native I have never felt that sort of energy from a sporting event in my life. Anyone else that was downtown at the time knows what I mean. Thought there was gonna be a damn earthquake with how much the city was shaking!
Thanks for doing this! My favorite (recent) memory is the 19-0 “Cavalanche” against the Pacers a few years back. C3di and KLove was so fun, and the vibes of that team were immaculate.
My favorite Cavs memory was watching game 7 of the 2016 finals with my twin brother. We were in Tampa, FL working and happened to catch it playing in the bar of the hotel we were staying at. I remember so vividly the entire bar standing watching the game. There were moments where you could have heard a pin drop. Then, when we finally won, the entire place erupted. It’s what got my brother into basketball in the first place. Even though it took me some convincing, I watch the NBA religiously now.
I always thank my brother for getting me interested in the sport. It’s something I love bonding with him over.
Cavs vs. Magic, LeBron’s looooong distance game winning 3pt in the 2009 playoffs. I was 7/8 years old and still remember it like it was yesterday!
Wouldn’t mind taking my son to his first game.
My best memory is watching the ‘07 finals with my best friends from high school. Obviously didn’t go well for the cavs but it’s the last time we all got to hang together before we went our separate ways.
When Lebron was selecting by the cavs in the lottery. There was an amazing sense of hope when the hometown kid was drafted.
Young Lebron’s insane Game 5 performance in Detroit.
My Dad took a job in the Cleveland area (Elyria) and I was in eighth grade and was not happy about the move. To bribe me, he bought Cavs tickets. The first game I went to was at the Richfield Coliseum, and it was Kareem Abdul Jabar’s last game in Cleveland, which makes it extra memorable. They also had a ton of snow, and the parking lot was a disaster after the game. I don’t think we even got out of the lot until midnight, and it was a long haul back to Elyria on a school night. The Cavs lost that night, but it was the day I became a fan, and I miss my Dad.
Game 6 against the Pistons in 07 in when Boobie Gibson just went OFF and the cavs commenced their first finals birth.
I was 12, and it was my first playoff game with my mom. I had gone to more than a few regular season games, but holy crap I had no idea that amount of energy was even possible. It felt like the roof was going to come off with every Gibson 3. I was definitely a Cavs fan before, but I was more into the Indians at the time. That was the game that started an obsession for the next 17+ years for me, and led to so many special bonding moments with my mom. I will never forget that experience.
Not gonna lie man, I would love to be able to take her to a game with me with these tickets to make up for all the times she’s taken me.
My favorite Cavs memory is the Game 7 win that clinched the championship! It was my first Father’s Day, and my daughter was sleeping upstairs. As soon as they win, I ran upstairs grabbed my sleeping 6 month old daughter, and brought her down to “see” the Cavs win. My wife quickly took her back upstairs, and she fell back asleep.
“Cleveland…. This is for you”
I was at Lebron’s very first playoff game vs the wizards. It actually started with an air ball from James and ended with a triple double and a win. Something I will never forget.
was in the stadium the day spida hit 71. energy was beyond electric
When the Cavs won game 7 in 2016 of course. My father and maternal grandfather had both passed in the 3 years leading up to it. Those were hard years, but the Cavs were always a bright spot. My Parents are both life long NEO residents, my mon grew up in Cleveland, my dad in Warren. They would go see lebron play when he was at SVSM. My grandad was a HUGE Cavs fan from the time the team started back in 70. He was a transplant from North Carolina, a black man who grew up under Jim Crow, he always considered Ohio and Cleveland his real home. I was in college at the time, and I remember being so nervous I had to leave my apartment before the game actually ended, so I actually missed the block and the shot, but they won, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I called my mom after and we just reminisced about those two, her dad and husband, how much it would’ve meant to them, the two men who made me a Cleveland sports fanatic. It was tough they couldn’t be there, but it was almost enough to know what it would’ve meant to them. I’ll always love the Cavs for that. Win or lose they’ll always be my team, because they were their team.
My brother and I went to go see the Cavs play Luka and the Mavs during his rookie year. We snuck down to about 5 rows up from courtside and somehow no one sat there the entire game. The Cavs lost but Luka dropped a career high at the time and Dirk was still playing. Definitely a night me and my brother will never forget
The honest answer is being at the game 7 watch party and staying downtown til 2:30, coming home, and immediately watching the DVR’ed game again, but I’ll go with a way more obscure one that’s special to me: I worked in the cavs team shop in the 2009–2010 season. They used to make jersey-tees of every player on the roster, regardless of how long that player stuck. One day, after the season had ended, the manager was digging through the closet and said “uhh…we’ve got 1 left. $5 plus your 20% discount if anyone wants a ‘Karl’ tee.”
And that’s how I ended up with a Coby Karl hardwood classics (blue and orange) throwback jersey tee. I wore it more than probably any other tee over the next decade of my life and I still have it, though it’s falling apart.
Honorable mention to Larry nance (Sr) checking out at my register with adoring fans around and I said “hey, great to see you. I have to know, does this ever get old?” And he gave a big smile and said “nope.”
Thank for doing this. Best memory is mo Williams going absolutely berserk and putting up 44 against the suns. Loved watching mo play.
My favorite memory of course is game 7 of the 2016 finals. But a close second, is game 7 against the magic last year. Actually went to it. I was down in the dumps in the first half then the Cavs went on fire for the third. I don’t get to too many Cavs games cause I live in Dayton. So I’m limited to weekend games cause of working Monday- Friday. GO CAVS
12-30-2009. Cavs vs Hawks. Down 17 early in the 3rd (which seemed impossible to come back from 15 years ago), we rally to ultimately put out fate in Andy’s hands as he drained his only career 3 pt shot to give us a lead late in the game.
I took a girl I had been talking to for about a month, and it was our first date. I hyped that shit up big time bc as anyone remembers, we were incredible to watch that and the previous season. When the Cavs were down deep, I apologized to my date for picking a bad first date (she didn’t care). We came back, she got hooked to the team and had been married to me for 10 years now.
I’ll never forget walking through the streets of Cleveland with 1.3mil of my neighbors during the championship parade.
I walked in with my now wife (then girlfriend) down the middle of the packed street on the Hope Memorial bridge past the Guardians on either side and I’ve never felt that type of electricity flowing through a crowd before. Nothing like seeing a shirtless JR smith hanging off the side of the pickup truck smoking a cigar and I got to see the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on LeBrons face as he rode past his Witness sign. Truly once in a lifetime and I’ll always be thankful for taking that day off work (and getting in trouble at work the next day, so worth it).
Favorite Cavs memory was of my best friend and I watching Kevin Love score 34 points in the first quarter of a game against Portland. It was unreal and the energy was intense!
Oh man this is easy. Somebody was kind enough to gift my dad some tickets when I was 14 right outside the tunnel to the locker room. The usher picked me and a handful of kids to high five the guys on the way out, got to high five lebron, Kyrie, JR, TT, KLove, all of em. Then after the W David Blatt came over asked us if we enjoyed ourselves, signed a hat and took some pics it was an awesome time.
David Blatt might not have lasted long but he’ll be somebody I remember for my entire life
Ive been a fan since like 09 but our 2 recent gamewinners, Okoro vs Nets and Strus vs Dallas are some of my fondest memories. Ill also add the “ima make em both” game. Just incredible memories that still give me so much joy to rewatch
seeing lebron go full on playoff lebron game 2 against the pacers in 2018, was responsible for our first 20 something points and was unreal, second is probably booing tony brothers just cause fuck tony brothers
I have never once got to go see the Cavs in person, and I’m 33. This would mean so much to me.
My favorite cavs memory is of course the championship, but outside of that id say Kyries rookie season was must watch for me. It was like watching a young Allen Iverson, with a chip on his shoulder. Lebrons first game back with Miami against that young Cavs squad is probably a memory i wont forget anytime soon. The crowd has never been so into it, positive or negative lol.
Very generous, but I hope I win lol
It has to be running in circles around the house when LeBron hit the game winner vs the magic in ‘09. Either that or watching them skip the Cavs in the ‘14 lottery, it elicited a similar response
I’d love to take my fiance but I seemed to have missed my chance
I was there for the buzzer that game 7 watch party. I was at the parade. But my now fiance getting into the game while we listened in on the radio during one of Rubios best performances for us his first year here, her being relatively new to the state (moved 2020) and that leading to her sharing my love of basketball is high.
Meeting JA and her giving him a custom oddish shaped planter with a plant in it during a signing is a close second.
But give it to the guy with the kid. We will get to another game
Probably Kyrie playing like a Monstar against the Spurs when he dropped 50+ points in a win. The three he hit to send it to overtime was a work of art. If I go to that Hornets game, I’ll manifest Garland going off in the same way.
witnessing strus’ game winner, at the “Q”
Thank you pal for your generosity.
Not my favorite memory but LeBron going nuts against the Pistons in the ECF in ’07. Was amazing to watch.
Favorite memory is Game 7 of the 2016 Finals. Champs.
My favorite Cavs memory will always be seeing the Bulls playoffs at Richfield with my dad. We had so much fun. He reminded me so many times that season that I was seeing the greatest ballers in NBA history. We lived out there for a whole season.
My dad passed away in 2022 and any time I’ve been to a game since then, it’s raise one to the rafters for him and feel a little less sad.
Game 7 win vs the Warriors and doing a happy dance with my dad. Both celebrating our first Cleveland championship. November 18th is his birthday and it would be great to celebrate with him by going to a game!
Favorite Cavs memory was forgetting who I was and blacking out when they won the title. Jumped up and grabbed my girlfriend and straight up tackled her to the ground – hard. Somehow someway, she’s now my wife!
I won a free throw contest in the 8th grade and won tickets for my dad and I to attend our first game together. It ended up being a terrible snow storm, but my dad grumbled through the drive to downtown in his truck and we got to watch Lebron win together. One of my favorite memories, especially since my dad passed about 7 years ago. Know he’s still cheering them on! #gocavs
My favorite Cavs memory is watching the Cavs Wizards in my basement with a friend who didn’t care about basketball at all. It’s a super close game in the 4th and I’m on the edge of my seat. Kevin Love throws that 3/4 court pass to LeBron who hits the fadeaway 3 pointer falling out of bounds for the win. I’m going bananas over what’s just happened and my friend simply says “oh cool shot.”
I’ll absolutely never forget watching Anderson Varejao drain a 3 to beat the Atlanta Hawks, on LeBron’s birthday! What a crazy 1st 3 and such a sweet win.
Favorite Cavs memory was at the first home game vs Miami Heat after LeBron went there. It was packed and the crowd was intense the entire game. We best them handily. It was a great atmosphere and I loved it!
My favorite memory was being downtown for game 6 of the 2016 finals (wasn’t able to afford nosebleed tickets). I ran into Stephen A. Smith, Steve Kerr walking to the game, and Wale. It was the most electric atmosphere. It seemed like Cleveland knew they had to bring it as the ‘sixth man in the stands’. I still watch the ABC intro to game 6 on YouTube and it is incredible. I was there with my dad and it would be so special to go with him again.
Besides the obvious parade, favorite memory was going to games with my dad in the 90s. Vividly remember the 97/98’ season. Still have autographed ticket stubs at his house, one being Shawn Kemp! Those were the days!
Game 4 2016 NBA finals. Booing the hell out of Draymond Green when we kicked Lebron in the no no region. I’ve never heard the arena more loud
My friend Bailey totally random last minute insisted we get tickets to a Cavs Pacers 2018 playoff game. I have been a fan all my life and I’ve never gone to a playoff game. The only available tickets are the very last seats in Loudville against the wall. It didn’t even matter. I had never experienced the Q that freaking loud and filled with energy. It was amazing. I never yelled so much at a game in my life. It was close game, and then LeBron hit that 3 at the buzzer to win. Seeing him jump on the scorer’s table all the way up there was still amazing. We went out downtown afterwards and bars were giving out free drinks. I had just moved to Cleveland from Youngstown only a couple years ago but this night I finally really felt part of the community. I’ll never forget it.
Never been to a game before but would love to take my daughter. She’s finally getting into sports and basketball seems to be the one that she’s more interested in.
Favorite cavs moment is us getting Kevin Love. I was a big fan of his game before the trade and I just always really respected his love for the team, the city, and the fans
