The 2016 Cavs team re-unite on their 10th year anniversary
Coolest unction in history
They even have a grandpa!
LeGrandpa
the rat pack gatherings in Vegas had to be pretty cool too
Delly still playing in NBL (AUS)
Bout be joined by Joe Ingles on the same team.
Unc team.
Delly plays for Sydney Kings and Joe will be at Melbourne United.
Unction. That is hilarious. Fuck I am old.
Get the Unc’s back together for one final run (30-52 record loading)
Sign them to the Cavs on 1 year vet min contracts. Yes even Bron
anytime i see delly on my screen, i smile
Im glad he survived his near death experience of attempting to guard Steph Curry lol
The one thing I know about him is that he nearly died from rhabdo chasing Steph all over the court 💀
wait it was rhabdo?
thought it only got reported as dehydration
[removed]
Kids today don’t know what a telly is Unc!
Loved seeing him pull up to Cavs ECF game 1
When I say 2016 will give my joy for the rest of my life this is what I’m talking about
Immaculate vibes
Not every championship team will have this 10 years from their championship run. The fact that this group is still tight and go on trips together 10 years later is something really special. I’ve only seen this with the showtime Lakers. They have reunions quite regularly.
I’ve been following the Cavs reunion trip, and it’s just so wholesome it gives me chills. You don’t see NBA superstars/multi millionaires (except the place they golf at), you just see a bunch of uncs shooting shit together. Also helps that Channing, JR, Richard, and Bron are hilarious dudes.
This group went to war against all odds. Truly an awesome feeling to see this 10 years later
I mean obviously I’m biased but it’s gotta be the greatest NBA championship of all time right?
It certainly is IMO. Even Mike Breen said in a podcast that Bron’s block is the most amazing play he has ever witnessed. Coming back from 3-1 against the 73-9 team, no home court advantage, against unanimous MVP, defensive player of the year, man it was poetic.
Looking at your flair, I kind of hope that the 2020 Lakers have a reunion in 2030. It seemed like Lebron really loved that team and it looked like they had great chemistry.
2020 was special too but I think LeBron was tighter with this squad cuz they’re all about the same age and went to 4 finals together. I feel sad we were robbed of 2 parades that year. At least Dodgers made it up.
Makes sense, I think that Lakers team had several guys who were like a 8-10 years younger than LeBron, but they had so many characters on that team so it would be cool to see them all together again
And I definitely wished they still did some type of parade for that Lakers team like in 2021 or 2022 Lol
Yeah I wish. The 2020⁄21 season started merely two months after our chip and the stadiums still had like a 30% capacity restriction to start the season, and large gatherings like a championship parade wouldn’t have been approved by the city till mid 2021 iirc, and it wouldn’t make sense to have a parade in the middle of the season. And then there’s a new champion in town (Milwaukee), so it wouldn’t feel appropriate to celebrate our 2020 chip I guess.
I remember watching Javales vlogs. I saw Caruso teach THT how to fish and he caught his first one lol
I respect it and I respect these guys for what they were able to do. GG
2015 and 2016 were something else
Hated the warriors back then, but I gotta give it to y’all, that was a real ass rivalry and it was amazing basketball whenever we squared off. Respect right back
Mandatory “how has it been ten years” comment
I feel the same about the Raptors winning in 2019. Never fails to make me happy.
I know our teams have had their battles over the years but your chip really made me happy.
To see the end of the warriors dynasty but
The Toronto fans absolutely brought it every home game of that series
I honestly thought I was gonna die never seeing a Raps championship. And I was only 30 in 2019. It just felt like we were never fated for it because of how the NBA works and superstars not really wanting to come to Toronto.
It’s why I will never, ever say a single bad thing about Kawhi despite him being basically a mercenary and all the stuff that went down with the Clippers after. He gave me the greatest basketball year of my life.
That was a very special team right there.
I think that’s all of their rotation players from the 2016 playoff except Kyrie. JR, RJ, Channing, KLove, Shump, TT, Lebron, and Delly,
mo williams sitting at home depressed after he gave them a solid 5mins in game 7
Dahntay Jones is smearing shit on a hotel wall right now out of frustration
I can’t believe that’s a real story. Wtf?
Wait, Mo Williams was on the 2016 squad? That’s wild.
He had a sick floater in game 6
As was James Jones!
James jones should be there
Actually started early in the season while Kyrie was out. Then relegated to 3rd PG after he came back. Probably the reason for the rift.
He did have a nice floater in game 6
Oh damn beat me to it LOL glad this was memorable to everyone else too
Mo Williams is an assistant on Mark Pope’s staff at Kentucky now!
Why did he come here and save Pope? Damnit!
Don’t forget Mozgod
pretty much, but i need everyone there! mozgov was a big body in the first half of the season. sasha kaun being good for all the bigs in practice. jordan mcrae had a 40 bomb in the last game of the season. mo will with back-up and starter minutes while kyrie was out. james jones from deep (and who’s now the entire NBA’s executive VP and prolly the next commissioner). dahntey jones committing dumbass fouls
No nets pick? 🤣
Where’s the Nets pick?
Cavs didn’t have the Nets pick in 2016.
Delly is definitely invited to anyone’s barbecue
Hell nah dude went to the hospital for guarding Curry for a game. Got my respect.
Barbie*
So yall think LeBron covering the bill for this or they all gotta Venmo

In one of the clips Channing was joking about how much he had to wire transfer for the trip.. I’m pretty sure they all paid their own lol
Nah they all had to wire according to Channing. They obviously not LeBron rich but still rich nonetheless lol
LeBron got TT, JR, Shump, and Delly all PAID too so I’m sure they can cover their week vacation
Lebron is going to have this trip brought to you by Draftkings
Venmo transaction limits wouldnt even cover the flight probably.
My GOAT would never

“Fuck you….fuccccckkk you”
More likely he tries to trick his way out of paying his cut
It’s sad how quickly players like Shumpert, Thompson, and Delly became washed. Iman Shumpert was the prototype of the 3-and-D wings that are highly coveted today.
They got their rings though! Not many players get to say that.
And they all got paid. Assuming they managed their money well, then that’s a very good career for most.
Shump’s career 3p% was .337 on 3.1 attempts per game. He was the prototype D-and-pray-he-can-hit-3s wing.
Shump hitting that 4-point play in game 7 was a miracle.
Yeah there’s a lot of guys like that
Hell that was portlands entire wing rotation for a while with Harkless and Aminu + Evan Turner off the bench lol
I love the prototype of having a bunch of 33-36% 3pt shooters who are athletic and play D, and you just pray that one of them goes 5⁄7 from 3 one game to get the dub
I’d much rather have that than a no defense 40%+ shooter for example
Right. JR is a better comparison.
Delly still playing Pro (and winning) in Australia league
Shump never became that shooter
Shumpert was injury prone,
TT was an iron man for a while but the injuries added up and he lost the speed and hops that made him a damn good center.
Delly had a short shelf life as well because he was mainly hustle and nail the open 3 and not turn the ball over
At least shump got bars handlebars
will never forget ty lue tryna play shump at the 1 and it going horribly during the 17-18 season
Prototype my ass. 3 and D wings have been a thing for awhile. Shane Battier and Bruce bowen anyone?
Not everyone has a 10+ year career. In Dellys case, he got a bag from the Bucks after 2016 but realistically he was just in the right place at the right time with the Cavs for his skillset to be effective.
3 Kings legends
Kyrie is super lame man
Absolutely love this.
2016 baby
3-1
Greatest ring of all-time
Hands down. Where amazing happened
Greatest playoffs ever but imo Dirk’s Ring is the greatest of all time
Cried 10 years ago today, hell might cry again 10 years later.
Fire up the JR Smith post-game and cry it out my man
Delly is like that rare pokemon.
A shiny definitely
Delly legit look like he grew taller lol wth
Right lmao. How does he look like 6’6 here. RJ must have legit shrunk 2 inches.
Prolly not 2 inches but pretty much guaranteed he’s shrunk some at 45. Delly is only 35 so RJ got 10 years on him. And Delly was wearing some thick shoes.
This a really likable squad but maybe cuz there’s couple Knicks there and I never hated Love
I feel like it’s impossible to hate Love.
i definitely wasn’t pleased with him post lebron and pre Rubio
basketball peaked in 2016 and you cant tell me otherwise. This squad is just too wholesome.
dirk’s ring and cavs 2016 for me, so peak
Well KD joined that defeated Dubs team just a few months later, and that umm, changed things. 2016 felt like a tipping point fo sho. The good memories last forever tho
It was 2 weeks later. Just another reason why everybody should hate that cunt forever.
Fair. But LeBron doing the Night Night with Curry at the Olympics is the stuff dreams are made of.
I don’t even like the Cavs but if you don’t like this you don’t like hoops. That’s a family that went to war together. Badass.
This should be a recurring thing, every championship team gets together 10 years later. I would pay good money to see the 2019 Raptors team get back together in 2029
Raptors team had great vibes, but pretty sure the fmvp wouldn’t show up, also wouldn’t know if OG would he seems to distance himself from that ring, especially now that he has gotten the Knicks one
Not even Cavs fan, but that game 7 induced anxiety was something else.
Some champion teams must secretly hate each other though. Which hated each other the most? I’d bet Shaq Kobe Lakers
Greatest Finals of all time, against one of the best teams of all time. They definitely fought like heck and earned that one. Pissed off the Dubs dynasty so much, they had to go break the code and hijack KD to be on their team. But the 2016 Cavs were the real one, what sports is all about. Real fam it is, fo sho
Not everyone from that team but everyone important is there, not missing anyone
Mozgov slander
Agreed, no one of any value is missing from the reunion
Obviously missing our favorite geodesist.
Missing Miller.
Never forget Delly peaking so hard in 2015 he had to be hospitalised.
2015* but yeah. That game was legendary. For one game in the NBA Finals, Delly was better than Steph Curry.
Found out mans was drinking coffee at halftime 🤣😂
Shump does seem like the type to be the only one to bring his girl on the boys trip
Fun trivia fact: he named his daughter after himself: Iman Shumpert Jr.
HIS DAUGHTER????
lol this is so Shump I can’t even hate it
LeGreyBeard
Lebron the white
LeBrondalf
Crazy chemistry also absolutely wild that the oldest guy out there is still playing 😂😂😂
I really believe KD doesn’t go to the warriors. That team probably wins at least one more championship if not two
I know it’s not just you and it’s not common knowledge, but it’s funny how a lot of people are thinking that LeBron is older than Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye Lmaooo
Haha ok fair point 3rd oldest still playing lol
Lmaoo it’s definitely still crazy though because he still has the most basketball miles out of all them despite not being the oldest
There’s absolutely no way 2016 was 10 years ago. Right?
Right??
Where’s dahntay jones? Sasha kaun? Jordan McRae?
Dahntay was wiping ass?
Seeing Delly and Shump back with the crew brings back so many good vibes
i just smirked like an idiot watching this lol
Cries in golden state
Bron so funny with these dam faces
Where kyrie?
AFAIK they invited him, so he must’ve declined for whatever reason
Must not have wanted to golf in JR’s shadow 😔
He was scheduled to do an NBPA top 100 training camp for HS prospects.
But JR is also saying he ghosted them instead of saying it.
Obvious PR save. You plan these trips with friends way in advance and everything else can fuck off to make it happen.
It’s pretty obvious that Kyrie wasn’t friends with those guys like that. They were coworkers and that’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with that.
According to JR he didn’t even decline, he ghosted them
Matthew Dellavadover - Stephen A
Rob Pelinker
Oh my god seeing Delly made my heart skip a beat.
I cannot express enough how much I love this team. Seeing the chemistry still there 10 years later is wholesome af
“You guys are shrinking” 😂
DELLLYYYYYY 🤞💯
Delly officially invited to the cookout.
Why lebron do that lol
Its sad to not see Kyrie there.
What Klay say?
TIL pippen was a 2016 cavs
Was wondering the whole time where the hell Shump and Delly were. They were just waiting to make an entrance like the true divas they are lol. I love this so much
Is that the curry stopper?👀
2008 Celtics behavior, gonna be hearing about 2016 finals in every conversation
That’s wholesome af, not gonna lie
Watching this gave me the urge to comment 3-1 on Draymond Green’s Instagram
A bunch of old men and a Laker’s starting PF. His longevity is unmatched.
This is actually awesome man. Lotta respect to those guys
I was wondering where everyone else was. Love this team
Please keep this going
It’s so cool to me how Bron is just one of the dudes.
This is actually more wholesome than I expected
Kings legend Matthew Dellavedova
Kyrie really did ghosted them
I wonder how much of this trip was sponsored or if they did pay for it themselves.
That team was so good.If it wasnt for injuries they’d have at least one more ring
Holy shit I’m getting old.
Kinda messed up they didn’t invite Harrison Barnes
JR looking like Andre 3000, lmao.
This makes me so damn happy.
NBA Champion Matthew Dellavedova
Kyrie is busy rehabbing after blowing his ACL and people are wondering why he isn’t hanging out with a bunch of retired dudes and LeBron? Please try using your brains.
Man where’s the uncle of uncles, Uncle Drew?
Wheres James Jones?
Jordan would never
Ever lol
No Mozgod tho? :(
Reminds me of Eurotrip. The girls never came!
Where is lebron’s greatest teammate James jones
I really wanted to see if Shump and LeBron did their handshake
It would be lit if the rest of the roster came on different days and then Kyrie shows up on the last day of the trip Lmaoo
Shumpert and JR Smith should have been at the Knicks parade if Carmelo can go. /s
Delly looking like he about to be on the Cavs newest edition of the casting couch.
https://youtu.be/l6gW7SoME9c?is=yhmRn3zosyWHcj4k
Go Watch All Of Them!!!
Thank me later
Everyone is asking where Kyrie is. I’m sitting here hoping Mozgov was going to come around the corner.
The last NBA team i really cheered for.
Where’s Jordan McRae
Sacramento Kings Legends Delly and Shump
RJ ain’t done a situp since 2016
