^ heh, yeah! I am a life-long die hard Pittsburgh fan who truly bleeds black and gold.
however, I live in Columbus, Ohio and I root for the Cavs - mostly because I never had a Pittsburgh team to root for in basketball. and specially when LBJ came to the limelight (he's about the same age as me) I followed him a lot in Ohio high school sports and have always considered myself a big fan of his, no matter where he is.
I think it would be great for the downtrodden city of Cleveland to win a Championship, somehow, someway. it would truly do wonders for their economy, or lack thereof, and the city's morale.
I visit Pittsburgh about 10 times a year, to see family and to play shows with my rock n roll band.
since you guys don't have a NBA team to follow - do you find that you root for the Cavaliers since they are the closest NBA team in your area? or does that old, bitter, working class Pittsburgh VS Cleveland rivalry still remain too strong to allow you to root for the Cavs?
color me interested, oldhead.
