false 1703737 1 Award-winning sports journalists Terry Pluto and Brian Windhorst give us an in-depth look at how a team and a city are being rebuilt around superstar LeBron James. When the Cleveland Cavaliers won the top pick in the 2003 NBA draft, an entire city buzzed with excitement. How often does a LeBron James come along? Especially for Cleveland, a midmarket rustbelt city without a sports championship in fifty years, and for the Cavaliers, a team that had never reached the NBA finals. Now, everyone has a stake in LeBron. From billionaire team owner Dan Gilbert down to the popcorn vendors, everyone has something riding on this one guy. Chock full of facts and analysis. 1700820 6 12 2007 The Franchise: Lebron James and the Remaking of the Cleveland Cavaliers total:28|5:17|4:7|3:4|2:0|1:0| 28 125 37 9 3 0 false false Fri Jul 03 18:47:23 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 18:50:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 11:44:46 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 10 18:42:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Dec 20 17:55:21 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 20 17:55:21 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Mar 27 09:13:13 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 09:13:29 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Dec 31 16:27:56 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 31 16:29:45 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sat Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 14:49:23 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 14:50:37 -0700 2008
