The curse is gone and blessings seem to be pouring on Cleveland as Lebron James and the Cavaliers captured the 2016 NBA title in grand fashion, winning three championship games in a row, capturing the 7-game series, resurrecting from a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 deficit to win the championship series at 4-3.
The Cavaliers' championship run stands as an NBA record, the first team to win a championship from a 3-1 deficit and freeing Cleveland City from the unsolicited curse of not winning a sports championship in the last fifty years.
Now, a few months after the Cavaliers' success, it is now the Indians' turn to bring more honors to their beloved City. Many wonder if this avalanche of lucky streaks is coming from cosmic forces like prayers and mystical beliefs.
Sports analysts do not believe on this supernatural hullaballoo. The truth of the matter is that the Cavaliers prepared themselves for the 2016 championship title by keeping their big three players healthy and persistently building up their team roster.
Actually, the Indians were expected to make a postseason spectacle because they have persistently built a terrific team. Indians manager Terry Francona and his high-performing staff have built a strong team that's ready to compete at the highest level.
With top players Danny Salazar, Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, and Trevor Bauer unable to lead the team in this series, the famed Indians bullpen took over with Cody Allen and Andrew Miller at the point. Veterans and young players contribute to the staying power of this team.
Sportscasters say that the Cleveland Cavaliers were just lucky because they had the best player in the planet, Lebron James, who led them into the championship rounds and capture the NBA title. But when the Indians started their own title run, many believed the old adage that "good players are lucky" applies to this great team.
