26. Cleveland Cavaliers

If you need any proof that Cavs fans are passionate, all you have to do is look back to July 8, 2010. That was the day LeBron James turned the city of Cleveland upside down when he lift for the Miami Heat. Jerseys were burned and hearts were broken that night.

LeBron quickly made it up to Cleveland when he returned ahead of the 2014-15 season, leading the Cavs to their first NBA Championship in only his second year back. 1.3 million people gathered in Cleveland during the parade to celebrate with their beloved Cavs. The poster of LeBron was even put back up in celebration.

The Cavs sat second in the NBA in attendance last season with 20,562 fans per home game. Fans have had a lot to cheer for as of late. While LeBron was in Miami, the Cavs had three number one overall picks. One was spent on Kyrie Irving, one was wasted on Anthony Bennett and the third was Andrew Wiggins who was quickly traded to Minnesota for Kevin Love. It might have been in their best interest to keep Wiggins but at the time Love was one of the top players in the league.

With the Warriors acquiring Kevin Durant, they quickly became the overwhelming favorites to win this year’s championship. But that won’t stop Cavs fans from coming to cheer on their team as they look to make it to their third consecutive NBA Finals.
