When there are two dominant sports in a city, some communication and support is needed. On Nov. 1, Cleveland showed this.

The local basketball team, the Cavaliers, communicated with the NBA and got their game moved to an hour earlier so the fans could support both them and the Indians, who were playing in Game 6 of the World Series.

Cavs owner, Dan Gilbert, wanted to make sure it was possible for the fans to watch both teams and enjoy the evening, so he tweeted, “CLE, we fought hard to move @cavs tip to 6pm tomorrow so you wouldn’t be torn. @cavs game should end by 2nd inning. Can’t wait, @Indians!”

Gilbert also hosted a World Series viewing party at the Cavs’ arena after their game.

You don’t see that kind of support much anymore. Most teams are solely about themselves, but in Cleveland, you see a different side of it.

Not only did the Cavaliers’ owner show support, but the team did as well. They made appearances at nearly every home Indians game of the playoffs and some Cavs players, including LeBron James, made the trip to the Progressive Field after their game finished to show their support and watch Game 6.

The Cavaliers won their game 128-120 against the Houston Rockets, but the Indians lost 9-3 to the Chicago Cubs.

James seemed to be one of the Indians’ biggest fans this year. He attended many of their games. In fact, there is a clip surfing the internet of him going crazy when they tied the game during Game 7. He’s also continuing to be one of their biggest supporters now as the team copes with losing to the Cubs, a feeling James knows all too well after losing four times in the Finals.

“I think the Indian’s season was a success,” he stated in a Cleveland.com article. “Obviously to get all the way there and not be able to come victorious, it hurts, especially for those guys that have worked so hard all season.”

James reported that the shirt he wore to Game 7 said “Cleveland or Nowhere.” If this doesn’t capture the attitude in Cleveland, Ohio for the past five months, I don’t know what does.

It’s moments like these that show what true sportsmanship is.

My message to you: Don’t take times that you succeed for granted. You worked to earn that success, but it’s also not something to be rude about and hold over others. The other person or team has probably worked just as hard as you did to get there and they are probably devastated. If you were the losing team, you wouldn’t want it rubbed in your face. Be generous. Every team deserves that kindness.
