Before we watch LeBron James and company finally bring an NBA championship to the city of Cleveland, we need to understand how much torture this fanbase has gone through over the last several decades. We need to rewind. Like, really, really rewind.
CHOSEN was first released in 2021 as a three-part series. This director's cut is re-edited with remastered audio to flow as one, continuous piece. It's a movie!
Written and produced by Seth Rosenthal
Directed by Jiazhen Zhang
Designed by Michael Das and Phil Pasternak
Additional editing by Ryan Simmons

To all those at Secret Base: I'm not from Cleveland. I'm not a LeBron fan. I'm not even a basketball fan. But I watched this, all of it, with my undivided attention. Not while I was working or playing a game or doing something else. Sit down in my chair and watch it from start to finish. You want to know why? Because you produce the very best sports content ANYWHERE and have been for years. Amazing video. Love you folks and all the work you do! Your #1 Fan!

What a perfect day for an SB upload. Lately I’ve re-watched the entire Vikings, Falcons, & Mariners, documentaries. “People you’re paying to be in shorts” was next, and this morning I finished Dave Stieb. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched any of those but I commit from start to finish every time and am enthralled every time. This is the perfect day for an SB upload. Happy 2024 everyone!

I love them all for sure but Dave Stieb is my favorite (SPOILER ALERT) if by favorite we mean the one I became the most emotionally enraptured in. Seriously my eyes grew tingly when he got his no-hitter even though I already knew what would happen it still got me right in the 👁️👃👁️ 🥲

As a Cleveland sports fan, I cried in my room when the Cavs won. Jumping up and down . My neighbor was also super happy. May she rest in peace now but we watched Baseball, football and basketball games together as die hard sports fans. She is a big part of my fabric . She was amazing she would love this.

Born in '61, I was a fan since soon after inception. I'd endured the Stepien era, but only for a bit. I checked out and wandered back when he was gone. No idea how the Cavs survived him...

@MrLp1980 4 месяца назад

Still proud to see the city of Cleveland get a title. It was similar to seeing my Saints finally get a Super Bowl after so much of losing. We had a million half at the parade and a week before Mardi Gras in 2010. Imagine the Browns bringing a Super Bowl to that city of Cleveland. I will literally travel to Cleveland to see that parade. I know that would be epic.

@MikeGreiner-bt7pw 4 месяца назад

I’ve watched each and every super cut numerous times . As a guy who lives 10 mins outside Cleveland I’m anticipating some tears watching this lmao. we’re all so used to losing that I really can’t put into words how important winning was for us after lebron came back home. Thanks for the hard work you put into making these videos really can’t overstate how happy I am you’re delving into my hometown cavs

Our 1971 first round, I believe first overall pick Austin Carr, still works for the Cavs. Like more than 50 years. And he's such a beloved figure around here.

My fam and I are Warriors fans, so the 2016 Finals hurt for us, but we all agree that the Cavs DESERVED these finals. After such a long, turbulent history of failure, they at last were able to get it done. Huge props to the SB crew for such an in-depth, well-researched series; I’ve watched it at least three times!

I remember being half sleep, but hearing Red Aurbach on NBC tv discussing the 86 draft. Someone asked Red about Walter Berry and Red minced no words " ahh he's ok but Brad Daughtary is better than him and is going No.1 in this upcoming draft". I said to myself how dare he diss Big Walt. Walt slid all the way down to I think 14 to the trail blazers who immediately traded him to the Nets. He went the Spurs, Rockets then poof he was out the league.

@GatCat 4 месяца назад

Cleveland still has some form of stank attached to their franchise. But Lebron did it. He removed a portion of that stank, and for a while and unlike my closet, they were stankless. Impressive.

I’d be very down for a series of docs about franchises’ histories prior to their first chip. Especially those more long-suffering franchises not unlike the Cavs here. As a Pats fan I wouldn’t expect anyone to want to document the team pre-‘Evil Empire’ but there’s for sure some crazy stories prior to Belichick and Brady. Toronto and Denver in the NBA, the Eagles - I’m sure the folks at Secret Base could tell some compelling stories about all these teams, and it’s an angle they haven’t really covered except for this video here.
