Chase Minnifield. Son of the Dawg Pound co-creator. Need I say more?
What’s that? You meant the CLEVELAND Cavaliers?

Baron Davis…(as of right now still current) cause I wish I could grow facial hair that sweet! what what!!!

Christian Eyenga aka Skyenga – Its fun to be irrationally exuberant about a player who best case scenario is a more athletic bruce bowens. There is just something about the kid that really makes me root for him.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Baron Davis. He looks like a big hippie.
Which of the Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Baron Davis because when he gets hot from 3, he’s fun to watch. And his beard is sweet.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Andy V. is my favorite. He has the blue-collar and gritty mentality that epitomizes the hard working people of Northeastern Ohio. He seems hardworking and selfless and would gladly sacrifice his own stats for a “W”. Plus, he always agitates the other team because of his style, a la Bill Laimbeer from the mid 80’s to mid 90’s.

Kyrie Irving – only chance we have of rebuilding the franchise is if he a 10+ Year All Star
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Baron Davis, he single-handedly made a travesty of a team fun to watch again last year.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Anderson Varejao…relentless hustle, and perfect flopper. Kind of guy you hate if he’s on another team, but you love when he’s on yours.

Daniel Gibson, because I have never gotten over his sublime performance as a rookie against the Pistons that sent us to the Finals a couple years ago.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
I’m going to have to go with Dan Gilbert. At the end of the day I’m glad he stuck up for smaller market teams and spoke up against the CP3 trade. Also, I like Baron’s beard.

Anderson Varejao! We won a contest last year to meet Mo Williams after the game. A large group of us were standing outside the Cavs locker room while player after player filed out without giving us any more than a wave. Anderson Varejao was the only player who took the time to stop and sign autographs and take pictures with our group. What a class act! It probably didn’t hurt that I was wearing a wig and jumping up and down with a sign that said “Wild Thing, You Make My Heart Sing”…

Christian Skyenga, Like his hops and hope this is his breakout season!

Austin Carr is technically a Cavaliers employee, right? The great thing about the way AC does his color commentary is that he makes people like my Mom enjoy watching Cavs games. He’s a caricature of himself, and yet, always makes quality insightful comments when they are warranted. He’s a nightly reminder that these games are supposed to be fun.

My current favorite Cavalier is Christian Eyenga. If he’s 22 or 42 doesn’t matter to me – works hard and can jump out of the gym.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Skyenga. He’s cool!!!!!
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Boobie Gibson!!! Works hard and keeps the faith! Go Cavs!
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Anderson Varejao. He’s always entertaining to watch!
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Luke Harangody. The man is 23 but he looks like he’s 40.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Daniel “Boobie” Gibson. He’s a stand up guy on and off the court and always puts his best effort forward even with all the distractions this team has gone through.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
It has to be Varejao because of the way he goes all out and gets under the skin of pretty much everyone he guards.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Baron davis…the beard speaks for itself
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Anderson Varejao because he hustles over the entire court and is a hardworker, always battling for rebounds and diving for loose balls.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
I will have to say Anderson Varejao for his all around effort and ability to frustrate other teams on the defensive end of the court. Also intrigued by Omri Casspi. It’ll be interesting to see if Chris Grant and company were able to find someone who can be productive for us at the SF spot.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
My favorite current Cavalier is Varejao, because I wear his wig every year for Halloween and will continue to due so for many years to come, as a cheap and versatile costume.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
My favorite Cavalier is Kyrie Irving because it is he who offers Cleveland new hope, and let’s be honest, hope is pretty much all we got.
My favorite Cavalier is Ramon Sessions because he can take it to the rack.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Kyrie. Looking for Kyrie to have a great rookie season. We have a great young team if we get a high draft pick next year.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Anderson Varejao. I have loved his hustle, energy, and floor burns for years now. Got to meet him twice in person and was such a fun experience. I even like the occasional flop and pesky “annoyingness” he can bring on defense.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Kyrie Irving, he is the new hotness.
My favorite player is Baron Davis. I began following him during his senior year of high school when my school(Duke) was battling his eventual college of choice, UCLA. While he is over the hill, much like Shaq as a Cavalier it’s pretty neat to see a guy who’s career I’ve followed since 1996 end up in a Cavs uniform in 2011.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Andy V. The guy isn’t insanely athletic, he doesn’t have crazy skills oozing out of his every pore, he just does everything he possibly can to win and hustles all the time.
Which of the current Cavaliers is your favorite and why?
Baron Davis. The type of player that makes me turn on a game just to watch him…he makes everyone better around him when he’s on the court. he can make jaw dropping passes, take over a game when his team is struggling, and drain half-court buzzer beaters…he has that killer instinct that most nba players just don’t have. watching him in that playoff series a few years back against the mavericks gave me goosebumps.
My favorite player on the cavaliers is Ryan Hollins, for many reasons. He plays his heart out anytime he is on the court. He is a genuine player and sets a great example for all children aspiring to play basketball. He doesn’t make plays look easy like some players, or even put up 20 points a night, but he does all the dirty work that needs to be done in order to win games. If you look at the game against the Heat last year, he wasn’t under pressure of scoring, but forced pressure onto the opposing players. He is the prototypical non statsheet guy. He reminds me of Tyson Chandler as well. Big, long, lanky, and athletic. And that is why Ryan Hollins is my favorite player on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
