The birth and destruction of the Cleveland Cavaliers needs a deep rewind | CHOSEN: Chapter 1 

Thank you

Once you're done with the Cleveland Cavaliers, do one on the St Louis Blues and the history of their franchise before they won their first Stanley Cup.

LONG LIVE WEED

Rewind leicester title win

Love this style of the important moments each getting a rewinder type episode, excited to see what others are planned (maybe philadelphia?) Can't wait for the vikings to get this cause I promise I will watch it once a day

Harold Ballard.

@@samortmann5003 How about the worst NBA Owner?

Donald Sterling: Ow my wrist broke

Harold Ballard: That's nothing. Have you heard about the pedophile ring I had at my stadium for two decades?

@@jackmanley1473 The what?! Looks like I need to watching Urinatingtree’s video again, cause I think I missed that part.

The irony behind it all bro 🤯

@@SaintShaun it’s honestly crazy

pretty sure that's a time traveler

He was a psychic. Unbelievable

@@Por-poI has to be, how tf did he nail the exact year ?!😂

I am a cavs fan and this series really has showed me how dysfunctional of a franchise we are without lebron

@@benjaminstoessner5899 same for us but without KG

fr bro

No one is

I have a feeling you'll be even less of a fan by the end

so crazy they just cut him

i cant imagine that happening today, literally billy king times 10 level of BAD

Cav's gave up 2 first round PLUS former first rounder PF Bill Robinzine who scored 14.00 PPG that next season for Dallas. This is most insane trade in Sports History. and makes the Hershal Walker trade reasonable.

@Harry Engel Depends on what sport. In the NBA a dominate player like Lebron or Giannis can instantly make your franchise a contender. In the NFL only QB's can make a franchise a contender. So Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes are worth 3 first rounders but no RB is.

@Eilliw Nodrog No Question Brady is a winner but for flat out Elite QB play Brady has and never will be on Mahomes or Rodgers level. Brady is the Modern Day Bart Starr or Joe Montana. Best QB on the Best team.

You smell

And look at what had to happen, injury and suspension - there was NO WAY Cleveland would've won without those Injuries to the Warriors ... *NBA Champions.

@@SuperOmnicronsj44 same can be said abou 2015

@@SuperOmnicronsj44 5 years and you are still that mad for the Cavs' greatest championship of all time and the 73-9 Warriors choking, after already acquiring an asterisk the year before against Lebron and the lottery.

YOU SEALS ARE SO SIMPLE

oh my. I'm just realising

He was in there changing the game 😂

You can trade multiple unprotected firsts; they just can't be your own picks back to back.

@@jameslearing970 Yep. Even then, you can do it if you have another first round pick either the first year or the second year in question on you.

@@jameslearing970 You can also trade pick swaps, as long as you keep at least one first-rounder. The Nets/Celtics trade worked that way (see 2017, when Boston got the 1st pick, traded it to Philadelphia, turned it into Jayson Tatum with the 3rd pick, and Brooklyn ended up with Kyle Kuzma at 27.) There's also nothing stopping you trading a player you just drafted on draft night even if trading the pick slot before the draft would've violated the rule. Kuzma would've been an example, but since Brooklyn got the 22nd pick (who turned into Jarrett Allen) as a lottery-protected from the Wizards earlier in 2017 (which they ended up using when the Wiz made the '17 playoffs), the rule didn't apply there. NBA trades are weird.

It was destined

The luck the Cavs have had (draft wise) is equal to none

That threw me 😂😂.

What did he know???

@@twinkieafternoon Cleveland selects LeBron that year

Yup. And without the writers and creative team to save his ass like Vince had in the 90s.

"YOU'RE FIIIIIIRRRRRRED!!!!"

Vince has turned the WWE from a circus to a billion dollar enterprise with a network. His management decisions weren't that incomprehensible.

@@anthonyroundtree5 Incomprehensible creative decisions would be more accurate. Vince is a ruthless businessman.

Trump?

You deserve 1 million likes for that comment not gonna cap I’ll give you one 😂😂😂

One of the greatest sports moments of all time.

Either one wining would’ve been amazing. Cleveland for their history and the Warriors for capping off the greatest season of all time (73-9 record, unanimous mvp, dpoy, coach of the year, etc.) Also can’t imagine how things might’ve been different. Especially considering KD’s fate

@@hollister2320 Ironically, losing probably extended the GSW dynasty. I think the league would've caught up with GSW if they didn't get to reload with KD. Then again, maybe KD would've found his way on the 2016-2017 Warriors anyway.

Man that chip is tarnished the commissioner had to step in and suspend draymond so that cavs could win

Almost like they did it on purpose 🤔😂 !! Just kidding … I would agree

Surely a massive group that does sports documentaries has a calendar. You think they maybe posted today on purpose or are you just more clever than everyone else?

Yup, I look forward to them making more long form videos. With other narrators too, the girl's not bad.

I agree. The 10 minute videos are nice but long, careful recaps are just so cozy and enjoyable.

@@kermitfrog593911

His fine crafting of roster lasted far longer then 3 years he is a true inspiration

The early success of the expansion Dallas Mavericks is largely attributable to Ted.

@Aventis Avalanche Don’t forget about the OG, Hands Touch, Bill Russell didn’t stand a chance against him.

Stepien lad here eerily reminded me of Harold Ballard, "the charming, favorite granpa" of Toronto Maple Leaf lol

They’re all bad doggos?

It was the second time I ever saw my dad shed tears in front of me. Real special time man.

Well, if all goes well for the Browns this moment may be dethroned..

I sat in a bar in Gainesville, Fl and cried.

i cant believe James delivered that! i mean that is not supposed to happen 👏🏽

Same man, I still remember jumping around the living room with my mom when it all went down

Idk, Barkley and Malone played the Sam position..

@@Starias5 Barkely could've played the three.

This video is mostly about how hard the Cavs had it, but that part made me sick for Mavs fans.

@@preston6425 Bulls in the 90s were the only team that embraced “small ball” with Kukoc and Rodman.

@@Starias5 Still could have worked.

Yes. It's also why you see on draft night, things like "Portland has selected (name), but they're doing it for Phoenix."

@Harvey Newcomb yeah I know but sometimes I forget at the start & then it’s just a pain in the ass

@@Elia_9400 you can disable it mid franchise

Lebron's block right before that was the turning point.

Ya The block is 1000× better, "oh, block by james!"

THIS

Based on what Arenas has said about it, it wasn’t a malicious confrontation, so I don’t think there was any actual beef

@@socialistbatman1211 I know what you mean but I struggle to imagine guns thrown out in a manner like a Let's Sort This Out Fam 🙏🙏🙏

What’s crazy about that story is that now it’s looking like that was Javaris Crittendon’s villain origin story

@@kgizzle92 Yeah, I read he accidently shot a mother of four when he was trying to shoot someone else.

Also the Cubs😂

Is it a cruse if they mostly did it to themselves?

@@b.w.8909 oh shoot yeah the Cubs by a mile

Homie it’s the clippers

@@aidanflynn2037 Clippers just made the Conference Finals. I’d personally say the Pacers.

That is fun.

Did…. Did they play for the Mariners?

@@ndonegan1558 the players name was Brett tomko I think

@Nick Donegan Yep! I know that cause Jon and Kofie once brought up his name in the fumble dimension episode on the 2001 Mariners

@@mattmurphy5805 just researched: it was Jerry Tomko - who was the father of - Brett Tomko, who did indeed play for the Seattle Mariners in their 2000-2001 seasons. This. Freaking. Team.

The snap that broke the yinzers back

I'd love that as a ravens fan, but they need to do mile high miracle first.

NO

Bills collapse would be legendary

Arsenal haven’t been near relegation since the Premier leagues inception, worst we’ve placed is 10th.

Or the suns

or in the NFL, the Buccaneers...

Or the astros, they had a bunch of draft busts right before they won it all for the first time

@Matt Murphy Not sure if many people will be fans of that deep rewinder? Remember with the cheating scandal people will only be saying their should be an asterisk for that video

I'd definitely like to see a series with teams breaking long title droughts. The 94' Rangers, the 04' Red Sox, the '10 Blackhawks, the '18 Capitals and '19 Blues, along with the 18' Eagles and '16 Cubs

lol you're not wrong

Donald Sterling: "Let's hear him out, guys."

jesus christ wtf lol

Don't black people say, "black people need black heros?"

What's wrong with making half the squad white? The Academy will soon require a certain % of diversity in a movie for it to be considered for an Oscar nomination.

That's because it's all scripted. Research gematria

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Baby just wanted to see the show.

Possibly the best team to receive a number one pick in sports history

Yeah man. Literally the whole damn world. It was amazing.

I cried for sure. I had never seen a Cleveland championship 2016 was special. Honestly if it wasn’t for the Trevor Bauer drone incident I say the Indians would’ve won the World Series. Alas they hadn’t won a WS since early 1900s the baseball gods gifted them salvation.

Australian Cavs fan. That's cool man. How did you become a Cavs fan? If you don't mind me asking

@@RomeGoLARGE legit it was because when I was 6 I had an NBA game on my PSone. Had no idea how to change teams so I was ALWAYS the Cavs. Sadly this was against MJ's Bulls all the time. Only won once but I loved the team since 🤣

@@albertmotbey1128 ohh nice!! So you're around my age. I played those classic NBA games on ps1. Like nba shootout and NBA in the zone. I'm glad I'm in good company!

@@RomeGoLARGE likewise mate :)

brief mention near the end there, and World will get a bit of love in Chapter 2!

and thank you!!!! (this is Seth, hi)

@@SecretBaseSBN Hey Seth, CAN’T WAIT! If the whole series isn’t in the can yet, maybe you can do a “these are the team colors - wine and gold...but how did we get here? And why isn’t the color of the arena seating giving my eyes diabetes?” GREAT JOB!

He always got the respect he deserved. He just felt he deserved all of it himself.

He is definetly NOT the one to break the warriors. 🙄 He finally played as good as he was supposed to after being hurt or disappointing in almost all of his other series. He's still getting too much credit/faith for getting a chip as the sidekick to this day. His injuries and toxicity should make teams pass on him.

also the Broncos beating the hyped up favorites in the Panthers with MVP Cam

Hope they do Portugal.

And the Cubs winning the World Series for the first time in over a hundred years.

Liked. Every owner wants to brag about owning a team, and all of them want to win, but maybe only 1-2% are willing to win if they don't make a profit. The first team that comes to mind is the 2004 AZ Diamondbacks who lost 111 games after a dominant five-year run, just two seasons after winning 98 games and the division, and three after winning the World Series.

Facts

For reall

lol get out of here

@@SecretBaseSBN I hope we can get new Collapses soon. 🙏

More football rewinders would be dope as well!
