For the first time in my life as a Cleveland sports fan, Im in a position to be greedy, to want one more.After growing up with a laundry list of devastating losses -- The Drive, The Fumble, The Shot, The Blah Blah Blah -- it was quite a sight to see Cleveland win its first championship since 1964 this past summer.The Cavs took us on a ride we wont forget. We watched them go down 3-1 in the NBA Finals against Golden State only to fight their way back to a Game 7.From that game, we now have The Block, courtesy of LeBron James, and a new and improved version of The Shot, thanks to Kyrie Irvings clutch 3 over Steph Curry.And who knew Kevin Love could play such great defense. His fast feet kept Curry at bay and put Cleveland fans on the verge of losing their collective minds.To this day, we Clevelanders ask one another, Where were you when the Cavs won? Whom did you hug? Did you cry? Did you go the parade? Where were you standing? Do you think J.R. ever put his shirt back on?Once the confetti stopped raining on our downtown and J.R. put his shirt on (we think), another Cleveland team picked up the torch and started running with it.It was if the Indians said, Hey, lets keep this party going, and we were right there with them, not simply because they were winning, but because thats how we are.Heres the thing you have to understand about Cleveland fans. Theres nothing fairweather about us. Weve seen more downs than ups over the years, yet we keep coming back, year after year, with optimism.?Right now, the Browns are 0-7 (0-7!) and we still watch them every Sunday.Maybe we go for a walk around the block somewhere during the third quarter, but were tuning in nonetheless.A lot of people like to say Cleveland is on the comeback right now. That the city is in the midst of a resurgence after the Cavs championship run and hosting the Republican National Convention this summer.Well, I dont buy that type of thinking for one second because it suggests we were on a downswing of some sort.Yeah, the Cuyahoga River caught on fire that one time almost 50 years ago, you dont need to keep bringing it up. We endure long winters and innumerable cloudy days. Our steel and auto industries have gotten smaller, and we had to tough it out during the recession like most parts of the country.One thing we dont do is back down. Were proud of who we are and where we come from. We take our lumps and keep getting back up, keep moving forward. Theres nothing defeatist about us. Weve got some of the best hospitals in the entire world, an incredible restaurant scene and, most importantly, down-to-earth people who smile at one another and we wave each other into traffic.?LeBron James did something a lot of us do. We leave town for a while to learn and grow and, with time, realize that Northeast Ohio is home and where we want to be.Thats why I find it laughable when I see gimmicky promos from local TV stations or national news reports telling me my city is on the rise once again. Cleveland has been here all along and were not going anywhere anytime soon.The same could be said for Cleveland sports fans, which is why were not satisfied with one championship this year. No, we have the Tribe to root on. Its what we do. Because were not simply Cavs, Browns or Indians fans.Were Cleveland fans. Jaire Alexander Jersey .
