Cursed No More

For fifty-two years, Cleveland waited. The Browns lost The Drive. The Fumble. Red Right 88. The Indians gave away the 1997 World Series. The Cavaliers watched Michael Jordan end their seasons again and again. Then LeBron James left. Each heartbreak felt like confirmation of something — that Cleveland was a city that suffered, and always would.

Cursed No More tells the complete story of Cleveland sports infamy, from Ten Cent Beer Night in 1974 through the night everything changed: June 19, 2016, when the Cavaliers became the first team in NBA Finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit and brought Cleveland its first major professional championship in 52 years.

Featuring the full cast of infamous moments — The Drive, The Fumble, Red Right 88, The Shot, The Move, The Mesa, The Decision — this is the story of how suffering became identity, and how one championship made it all mean something.
