This is LeBron’s best supporting cast

The Cavs won the championship last season and most of the gang’s ready to go for another dogfight against the Warriors.

Kyrie Irving is arguably the best finisher in the NBA, who also happens to own the most historically significant 3-point shot in Cavaliers history. Kevin Love, the third head of the big three is one of the game’s best stretch four’s. He also just so happens to be a premier defensive rebounder.

In addition to the Big 3, J.R. Smith is back and healthy. Channing Frye and James Jones get hot from behind the arc. Tristan Thompson is an elite offensive rebounder.

To further build their case to repeat, the Cavaliers went out and added Kyle Korver, who is one of the best 3-point shooters in NBA history.

The shooters…that’s what makes this team around Lebron so great. He can drive and kick out in any direction and put the ball in the hands of a shooter.

And his team won’t let him down.

The 2016-2017 Cavaliers squad made team history by becoming the third team in NBA lore to make 1,000 3-pointers in a season. Last season’s Warriors’ squad did it, and this year’s Rockets did it, too.
