>Win one for the land
>the land
Since when are we calling Cleveland "the land"? I've lived here my entire life and literally never heard anyone call it that until like two weeks ago. Now everybody's walking around like we always called it that. What happened to C-Town?
>>68773738
LeBron is the only relevant person in Cleveland so whatever he calls it is what it's called from now on.

>>68773738
LeBron referred to it in his SI article announcing he was coming back.
And fuck off you aren't from Cleveland because we all have that damn article memorized word for word
>>68775125
Fuck that shit. It makes it sound like we all live in a magical realm with mr. tumness and hobbits and shit.
N B RIGGED
>>68775242
the city literally has the word land in it. It's a simple fuckin nickname people have been calling it that for forever, stop pretending to live in Cleveland all of a sudden because we won a ring lmao
>>68773738
Ctown is Chicago isn't it?
>>68776516
>we
>>68776754
That's chi-town
>>68776833
>Chi-town
It's spelled Shy-Town, homie

>stop pretending to live in Cleveland
>people have been calling it that forever
wew. People have called Cleveland a lot of things in the past. The land isn't one of them. Pic related. If you don't know who that is, you're not really from Cleveland.

>Since when are we calling Cleveland "the land"?
Lebron was in a commercial about a year ago where he said "you know it's all about getting one for the land".
>>68773907
>LeBron is the only relevant person in Cleveland
He has single-handedly kept them relevant for 9 of the past 13 years, it's amazing. I didn't even really notice it until he went to Miami in 2010 and Cleveland just seemed to fall of the map. I swear that there have been more national news stories about Cleveland in general (not basketball-related) since Lebron came back too.
>>68773738
ive lived in cleveland my whole life and ive only heard it being referred to as "the land" after lebron's first game
pic related is the snapchat filter
>>68776936
Is that when it started?
I didn't remember him saying that so I thought it was an /sp/ thing until I kept hearing sports """"news"""" personalities saying >DA land
>>68777035
*just seemed to fall off the map
>>68777062
Yes, that commercial aired at the beginning of the season, and it started getting repeated after that. I've never been to Cleveland, so I don't know if they called it "the land" before that, but nobody in the media or on /sp/ called it that until after the commercial.
>>68777048
Like his first game this season or his first game his rookie year? It really doesn't fit the city at all. I think it must be like how people from San Francisco hate it when out of towner's call it 'Frisco or something
>>68777367
The people who live in San Francisco aren't humans because they're all gay.
>>68777367
first game back in cleveland
>>68777460
No one actually lives in San Francisco. It's too expensive.
>the land
what?
it's da land
>>68773738
It's a meme you dip
>>68777194
to be fair there was never a reason to refer to cleveland before lebron went back there so its largely inconclusive to say nobody called it that, because nobody called it at all
>>68773738
And who the fuck calls Oakland "the city"
In New York we call NYC "the city" because it is THE city. California and the Bay Area has multiple cities.

Forest city auto parts has been a Cleveland institution for like 90 years. That dude's long neck is plastered all over town. My point is we've been The Forest City way longer than this bullshit "the land"

From leaveland to da land.

>people have been calling it that for forever
You are objectively incorrect
>>68776874
Why would it be spelled like that?
Meme magic
Life long from the Cle here.
I've always called it the land.

Feels good man
Now that Jefferson is retiring
Who is Cavs competent SF bench player?
>>68786858
pls make this happen
>>68787099
They will trade Love, Shumpert, and JR for KD and LeBron is moved to PF while KD plays SF
>>68787204
Well if they traded JR, who's the competent SG?
>>68787428
You can put no one in the 2 guard spot fampai. You literally have KD, Bron Bron, and Kyrie, might as well give them advanced Championships
>>68787613
Sooo... Keith Bogans to play defense at the 2 and Ben Wallace at the five?
TYBL
Fuck Steph Curry.
Reminder: young Steve Kerr played fir the cavs

>>68773738
I think it's pronounced Da Land.

I'm from Cleveland as well; over the years it's had many nicknames and this is just the latest. I remember "The 216", "Thieveland", "The CLE", and now "Believeland"...and then the others...New York is the Apple, Cleveland is the Plumb...The Mistake on the Lake...Burning River...
If you're from Cleveland fuckin' Ohio (watch the movie Beyond the Law with Charlie Sheen by the way), you won't really give a fuck because WE FINALLY WON SOMETHING FOR ONCE...thank you Lebron James...
Also, fuck Skip Bayless.

I was at a Titans @ Browns game last year and people were walking around in BITCH IM FROM DA LAND t-shirts. That meme white rapper also calls it Da Land.
>>68773738
Bone Thugs have been calling it da land since E. 1999 Eternal I'm not even from that shithole and I know this.
>>68795056
>"Believeland"
wow
>C-town
That's Cincy. Also Cleveland seems to have more nicknames than inhabitants.
Kentucky rednecks can't spell Cincinnati.

I'm curious, do cincy / columbusfags root for the cavs?
Yep, from Cleveland as well. No one called it The Land until 2 years ago when Snapchat added that filter, then Lebron said it in the commercial.
