Being a Cleveland sports fans requires passion, patience and perseverance. But sometimes that loyalty is rewarded with nuggets of brilliance … no pun intended. OnlyAGameNPR WBUR
Three and a half months into the 2018-19 regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers were on a"hot" two-game win streak, which brought their grand total of wins to … 11. The Cavs had the second worst record in the Eastern Conference. Many key players were sidelined. Things were bleak. But on Feb. 2, the team had been holding its own against the Dallas Mavericks. Fans had reason to hope the Cavs might win three games in a row for the first time all season.
Fans stood up, their arms raised over their heads, eyes glued to the ball. In Fletcher’s section, fans were chanting:"Nug-gets. Nug-gets. Nug-gets." Maybe this all sounds like the setup to another joke about Cleveland — about fans so starved for a win they’ll cheer for literally anything, including a 10-piece chicken nugget giveaway valued at about $3.65. But when a team rebuilds, some fans find that things they might’ve taken for granted before suddenly take on a new significance.
"I've never measured the size of the nuggets, but they're probably 5 to 10 feet tall each," Eck says."You got these huge chunks of meat just raining down." "As we develop this young team, as we develop the young core and hopefully find winning basketball in the future, the nuggets are kind of like a beacon of hope," Molinelli says.
