What happened: Cleveland is looking back on the Cavaliers' 2016 NBA championship as the title reaches its 10th anniversary. The run is being revisited alongside a "Where Are They Now" retrospective tracing the members of that title team a decade later.

Why it matters: The 2016 championship remains the only major professional title in modern Cleveland sports history, won after the Cavaliers rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the Finals. The anniversary continues a wave of Cavaliers commemorations marking the 2016 title's 10th anniversary across the city this month.

What to watch: Expect continued anniversary tributes around Cleveland as the franchise and its fans mark a decade since the championship.
