The Resume

    (1970- )
    Located in Cleveland, Ohio
    One NBA Championship (2016)
    Six retired numbers: Bingo Smith's #7, Larry Nance's #22, Mark Price's #25, Austin Carr's #34, Nate Thurmond's #42, and Brad Daugherty's #43
    Other former and current players include LeBron James, Zydrunas Illgauskas, and Carlos Boozer

Why they might be annoying:

    Their first ever seven games had to be played on the road since their arena was booked by the Ice Capades.
    They traded a draft pick that would've been used on James Worthy.
    They lost 19 straight games to end their 1981-82 season.
    They were continually victimized by Michael Jordan in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
    They played a slow-down offense in the 1990's, which may have led to a lower scoring trend in the NBA.
    They didn't make the NBA Finals until 2007.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They share the same nickname as the University of Virginia.
    They had the first black general manager in professional sports, Wayne Embry.
    Their fortunes were turned around when they drafted high school phenom LeBron James.
    They hold the record for largest winning margin in an NBA game (148-80 against Miami, 1991).
    Their owner, Gordon Gund, is visually impaired (it definitely helped him during the Cavs' heartbreaking and horrible seasons).
