In 1970, Cleveland’s newspaper, The Plain Dealer, held a contest to name the city’s new basketball club.
Contest winner Jerry Tomko wrote that the Cavaliers “represent a group of daring, fearless men, whose life’s pact was never surrender, no matter what the odds.”
The nickname is frequently shortened to Cavs.
