LeBron James’ number doesn’t deserve to be hanging from the rafters at the Q
LeBron James might be the Cavs’ all-time leader in points scored (15,521) and steals (955) but he didn’t show any class in how he left the Cavaliers so I don’t think his jersey should be retired and be next to Mark Price, Brad Daugherty and Larry Nance’s. Mark Price played 9 years for the Cavs appearing in 582 games (495 starts) in which he averaged 31.1 minutes, 16.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Price also shot 40.9% from three point range and 90.6% from the free throw line in his time with the Cavaliers. Price is the Cavs’ all-time leader in assists with 4,206. He is also #2 in three pointers made (802), #2 in steals (734) and #5 in points scored (9,543) in Cavs’ history. Price was also a class act as he often had christian concerts after Cavaliers games. Brad Daugherty played in 548 games (546 starts) in his 8 years with the Cavs and he averaged 36.5 minutes, 19.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Daugherty is #2 all-time in rebounds (5,227) in Cavs’ history. He also is #6 in assists (2,028), #9 in steals (422), #7 in blocked shots (397) and he is #3 in points (10,389) in Cavs’ history. Larry Nance came to the Cavaliers later in his career. He played seven years for the Cavs appearing in 433 games (406 starts) in which he averaged 34.6 minutes, 16.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.5 blocked shots per game. He is #3 all-time in blocked shots (1,087) in Cavs’ history. He is also #6 in rebounds (3,561) and #8 in points scored (7,257) in Cavs’ history. These three guys exuded class both on and off the court and each of them won as many games in the NBA Finals as LeBron James……0!
